    Is anybody planing on taking a classic Mini to the dragon? Reason being, besides how cool they are, is that I've pretty much decided that I'm going to get a classic within the next few years and I want to be sure I can fit inside and operate the pedals comfortably. I'd like to have a sit in one, go for a ride, or maybe drive one around the block. Anyone taking a classic willing to accommodate my request?

    I've been there with my classic cabrio the past couple years. I've been mildly trying to sell it and we bought a new Clubman so we'll see. Can't imagine you will have any problems... I'm 6'9" and can fit reasonably well.

    I think a large part of that is that they have a huge Classics in the Smokies meet the weekend before MOTD so many can't stick around for two weeks in a row.

    No MINI's allowed unfortunately :(:rolleyes5:
    Classic Mini 50 party in the Smokies!

    dimini and I ran the dragon in his Classic Pickup last October, I think it would be a ton o fun to run there again this spring, so I've been trying to talk him into it. it's a long slog from KC to the Dragon in a classic tho, especially a P'up so I've been trying to talk him into putting a hitch on his JCW and towing the classic.....

    My daughter lives just south of Asheville, so I might be able to combine it with a visit with her.....

    Her are a couple of snippets of vid I took hand holding my camera while he drove the Dragon in the P'up.....

    It's even more fun when it's got a Vtec motor in it! :D
