    The only GP I have is my radio-controlled GP - can I come along? It's the only GP I've got... or maybe I'll run "camera car"...

    It was funny watching people try to get into the wrong cars!

    I heard about one of them right from the source, Jim McDowell, who took care of the issue for the GPII owner.

    The driver ran over something in the road that was not was really fixable by the mobility kit on board. As I understand it, a wheel/tire was borrowed from Hendricks while a call went out for a replacement tire. Again Hendrick came through here with one in stock. It was brought up to Fontana where none other than Jim McDowell (MINI US Boss) took the persons wheel and new tire into town and had it mounted and balanced. He was seen walking across vendor row carrying said wheel/tire as well.

    Actually, I was justa looking, but if I were in the market for a new MINI right now, I honestly would have considered it. Can't put my finger on exactly why, but I liked it. :Thumbsup:

    I walked up to the wrong GP a few times. It was comical to say the least!

    I think I can safely say that Saturday is the winner!!! So...let's move our GP photo date to Saturday after the icecream run. There is a park nearby that we can meet and decide where we want to take the photo. Todd and I will check out road to nowhere earlier in the week to check its condition (it was starting to get a little rough last time we were there). I will update this post sometime this weekend with exact time/location to meet.

    Saturday leaving after icecream run (no official photographer YET)

    Let's meet at Deep Creek Waterfalls....there is a parking lot on the right with bathroom facilities. I have written to a friend to confirm directions from Soda Pops once I get them (unless somebody else knows them) :cornut:

    If you end up doing the photo at the Dam let me know and I'll have someone bring both my GP's down, but not letting someone take my GP all the way on the ice cream run.

    There was a guy named henry that was driving a GEN 1 GP that was taking pics, he got nominated as "official photographer" on site!

    Maybe next year we can do it closer to Fontana that would give Way a chance to send his cars to be in the photo also.

    Sorry I didn't make the photo shoot. I had to to head home on Saturday morning to attend a funeral. Looks like a nice turnout.

    Thanks to the gen 2 GP2 owner that gave me his extra blackout kit for my gen 1! (Sorry I don't remember your name.)

    I noticed Bob, GP0061, has his on both sides.

    Glad I wasn't that close for anyone to notice. I thought something was wrong with my key fob.
