    Team RigidB.A.D. is back together. Got a call from MAG this afternoon that my Clubman has not arrived yet, so my new date is Tuesday.

    Decided that I would rather not take the chance of anything happening with my current car this close to trading it in.

    See you all in the morning!

    Yea I have a navigator! Heading to bed right now, will probably feed the boys before I head to the drive. It is like Christmas night I am going to lay in bed thinking about twisty roads :)

    I've had M.A.D. give me a crash course on being a know-it-all co-driver. I have quite the list of insults ready for you if we get lost or you make a wrong turn;)

    Crash course.... Yikes!!!

    You need to find the video of Francois Delecour screaming at his co-driving. So sad & funny all at the same time.

    92 cars drove the Riverrun course today. Nice seeing everyone. We should be able to make a nice donation to the James Cancer Hospital in Eric's memory. :Thumbsup:

    Had a great time until...

    Just north of Cumberland after turning off 146 onto 430 it went into limp mode. Tried an in field fix to no avail. Flatbed to MAG. Won't know more till Tuesday.

    Thanks to Jason and Cooper for the help and sticking with me till the tow arrived.

    I shudder to even mention this, Nathan, but could it be time for you to have a "Track Car" and another MINI for "Dependable Transportation"? You most likely have enough extra mods around to make tweaking the new one inexpensive.

    Jason I was so very happy to see you eating ice cream at Tom's. :Thumbsup: I hope this drive makes up for the one in November.

    Nathan sorry you had problems. Maybe the broken MINI God's aimed at Cooper's MINI, but struck yours down by mistake. Might be time to have a street tune & a track tune.

    Cooper & Jason thanks for sticking with Nathan until AAA showed up. :Thumbsup:

    What a great day!!

    Thanks to Chuck for laying out a great course and then taking us off it to get back to Tom's without waiting for the Slowstices.

    Thanks to Brian for keeping us on course and for being willing to take on an adventure when the opportunity presented itself!

    Thanks to everybody else for making ti a fun day, it is all the little bumps along the road that make it a fun adventure.

    Nathan I hope you car is OK, Brian and I were worried the three lost MINIs ended up meeting some locals on the gravel road Brian and I took. It must have been that river gas :)
