    Be ready for lots of AutoX satyle reversing I am terrible at following directions and driving. If I lead a group I want people who are understanding ot who do not care if we go off course :)

    Getting lost is half the fun. I've discovered many nice roads that way.

    I know, but rigidjunkie said he couldn't follow directions and drive at the same time and the co-driver talks really fast. :lol:

    I'll be there.

    Bringing a friend too, it will be her first MINI outing. By the way she grabs the handle over the passenger seat and screams when I zip around town I figure I'll be in for an earful.

    It might be quieter by then. Parts are due in Saturday.

    Then again, quiet is relative...while the resonators will be new it is still not "quiet"

    You should be able to get one cheap from one of the big 3 dealers that lost their franchise. You just load it on a truck and drill a hole in the floor right?

    Riverrun is a go....

    Bill & I did the final pre-running of Riverrun today. No detours or flooded roads. We even saw a herd of Buffalo! Smooth sailing all the way to Marietta & back up to Tom's. Plus Tom's even has new season flavors. :drool

    If you come you will have a great drive. Hope the weather God's smile on us. :D

    Jim - we will send you the route and you can use google street view to follow along. Some days when I need a distraction I will virtually drive my favorite roads.

    Chuck, I will try to make it this year. There will be no problem paying the $10 registration fee the morning of the event, correct?
