[dimini]

Count me in. If no rain, I'll bring the P'up. If it looks like rain, I'll bring the JCW.

[cdecker78]

I have a question! Is it OK if I bring my KIDS? My daughter is 2 and my son is 5.

Yes, it is more than ok. I can't think of a time when we have had a club gathering where kids weren't welcome.

I count a total of 15 MINI's or (14 MINIs and 1 Mini)

[LiLReD1]

I'll probably end up coming, why not. I'll see if Allison is going to ride with, or bring her MINI along. She'll prolly drive.

Is there 2 seperate groups going still?

[matti the mini]

As of tonight. Just one group.

Between the twisties and the areas we go through I think there will be fun for all. There are some VERY narow twissty blind corners that require caution. As well as a few stretches for some spirited acceleration.

Don't forget your two way radios if you have them.

[LiLReD1]

That sounds better to me.

[dimini]

I've driven my P'up every day this week and left my freshly detailed daily driver, the '06 JCW MCS, in the garage. I'm beginning to think it might be nice to join all of you for the Saturday drive and not have to wear ear plugs--and it would also be nice to be in a car quiet enough to use a two-way radio.

Sheesh... tough choices in life. Guess I'll just wake up tomorrow and see which mood I'm in--cozy or crazy. One thing I've noticed with classic Minis is that narrow roads are still "wide"-hence no need to slow down much.

I'm glad to see so many new people coming to this event, I did it last year and it was major fun!

We'd be with you all but for another commitment. Have fun and drive safe!

[ragtopday Johnna]

Thanks, Bentley, for organizing a fun drive. It was great seeing everyone and the route was super!

I put a few pictures in an album in the club's Photobucket account.

Fun pictures from someone that was "going topless". Fun drive and lunch conversation was good too!

Here are some of the images that Connie captured during the drive.

Thanks hun. So glad we got this run in, cause I dunno what it's doing out there, but it's snowing out here!! And I just had to run 5 miles in it.

So yes, thank you to those who organized this event. This may have been our last hoorah for 2009 for a nice little scoot!

[matti the mini]

I'm glad that everyone enjoyed the route.

It was fun picking the alternatives on roads in the area.

I guess I better start working on variations for next time!

[davester]

a big thank you Bentley; we had a great time---

[Punk_Mini]

My initial plan of the trip out to KC was for the Rob Zombie concert at the Uptown. But I talked to Tim and he told me about this outting and I was for sure on board for it. I had a great time and it felt good to be on some curves. Again it was good meeting you Allison and Tim.

[LiLReD1]

Anytime Punk. I hope next time we can roll out to KC together on 24 hwy or somethin' cool.
