Wish i could make it. New classic owner here in Springfield, Mo.
Car Savvy, but this is my first British car. Still not exactly sure this car is reliable enough for a run that far.

I encourage you to come join us, we all have plenty of skills, parts and knowledge between us to get just about anything that can park a Mini fixed and back on the road! It would be a great first outing for you and your classic!
Please understand this is not a heavily organized or scheduled event, just a bunch of guys who meet up and go cruise the backroads.....our goal is maximum fun and run time.
Post up some pics and the story of how you got your car.
Also, come join Restoration Mini, a site dedicated to the classic Mini and a bunch of very smart and friendly Mini guys.

Car is a true blue sportpack Mpi car.
Already fixed:
Injector connector
Coolant sensor

Grounding points for better charging
To be fixed:

Excess valvetrain noise (i think)
Bought it in Dallas a couple months ago.

Cool, I have an 09 Clubman S, I used it to tow my classic to Texas this past March for another classic Mini event. It towed very easily too.....
Sounds like you have it on the mend......bring it to Cuba, Mo and run with us! -
Dave, great to meet you at the show last weekend and thanks much for tipping me off to this Fall Run event. It's too late for me to accommodate it this year, but hopefully there will be another opportunity in '18 or beyond. Sounds like some superb motoring and fellowship.
