OMG. I'm a do-er MINIac-modder-mang. It's ok though, you're still my bestest buddy even if you don't feel like hangin' out. :cornut:

 

Did I see someone mention an Irish Pub? Jack's sounds like a must stop to me. :beer

 

They turned it into a cowboy bar a few years ago, I hope it's back to being an Irish Pub.:yesnod:

OK, So... I'm sittin here drinkin with a gentleman named Jack, waitin for the next 12 hours to pass. The car's loaded, not me....yet. And I was thinkin, how the hell did anyone ever travel any distance, planning to stay for 5 days and 4 nights, in an Austin Cooper S. Those folks were true pioneers I'd say!

Ahhhhh, thank God and BMW for progress, preservation and resurrection.

Cheers and see y'all at AMVIV. :beer

 

Ya know, Steve, that's why I keep my Big Red Truck. It's hell ta drive the MINI wearin my boots and hat. Most'll tell ya, I don't miss many cowboy bars... :lol:

 

See you guys there!!

Cruising the strip

 

Thanks everyone! I had such a great time..We are a Great Club.

Left at 8:10 and pulled in at 2:45. Made great time and no traffic

Can't wait to see you all so we can talk about it all.

I'm still in an AMVIV state of mind.

Cheers Rob.

 

Just got back home safe and sound. Great time and looking forward to the same next year!

 

Made it home - no tickets, lots of bugs - thanks everyone for making this a great time
AMVIV rocks!:beer

Tom and I on the Mountain


Kyle's MINI again


Badass Countryman... someone offered to buy this on the spot from him too.

 

Had a great weekend. Bitzie & Kiki, one of the highlights of our trip was hangin' out with you guy! Good summary on our saga coming home. Still though, would've rather flown & hung around than drove the +7.5 hours to the 'no. Even if it meant we came home with +7 stories about how crappy (& ready for the boneyard) the plane was. We slept in until 11am & then went to work at 1pm. Rob, you're right -- still in an AMVIV state-o-mind!

Dr.Steve, it was nice seeing you in a social MINI element. Shelly, it was great seeing you have so much fun. Chief & Suzie -- you guys are awesome. JIMINNI, .....oh yeah, still zero for nine AMVIVs. Maybe when you're 50 you can come to one. :lol:

 

Kiki and All , Glad you got back to Fresno safely. That was real frustrating for you
folks !!! My family & I had the adventure of staying up all night at Salt Lake City
Airport last Aug. when no hotel rms avail because of convention in town.
Summer thunderstorms delayed our connecting flight from Kansas C., so we missed the afternoon flight from SLC to Fres. Luckily, we got out of SLC the next morn at
8:30. Made it to Fres.OK. All night sleeping on floor in SLC Airp. was a slumber
party gone wrong !! They gave us meal vouchers.
I hope next yrs AMVIV goes better for you guys !

 

I'm missing a lot of AMVIV right about now. No: cocktails at 9:30am; Star Wars 'Droid Hunt' slot machine at 11am; monster kobe burger for lunch; bumbling around looking for the MINI gang.....how many more days til the next AMVIV?

 

Hi, we wanted to fly down but I could not get the time off. Probably a good thing Lynn is a pilot and a mechanic and he would have been out there trying to vamp up the engines..hehe.
So Joe you go to Las Vegas but no show at the bbq day to say hi?

Ok bye for now you all.

 

Zoey and the gang party on in Vegas
