    Really glad to see you on the road, Dick - and at Campbell. I snagged a Brew Ridge sticker for you, too.

    JEEBUS CREASED! Every time I park anywhere around Fontana I am swarmed with lookers! I dont mind it at all, but I honestly wasn't expecting this kind of popularity. It is after all a ugly rusty looking MINI!

    Thank you to all who have followed my build, and everybody who I have met this week. :)

    The car looks great! I would not have believed it if I hadn't seen it in person. My wife and kid loves it also. Great job!

    Unfortunately I went over the side of the dragon. :(

    We are both fine, minus a change of shorts!

    Thank you Whales and everybody else who stopped for the recovery including the NC hillbilly who luckily had a chain in his pickup to pull her back on the road.

    There is no damage. The X-brace actually dug into the ground and stopped me when it high centered! It was a butt puckering moment when I got out of the car and found that not only if I had gone another 4 feet foreword, there was a 10 foot vertical drop, and if I had been another foot to the left the driver front tire would have went in a hole and rolled the car!

    Everybody stay safe, and USE THE DAMN PULL OFFS!!!

    Negative. According to Dick, the GP took off. The white vehicle in the photo was the first to stop. I came by a few minutes later. After me, Celia and James from C3M stopped as well. Three minis drove by and didn't stop, before the mountain biker with the pickup truck and chain came by.

    Dick, how the hell did this happen? :idea:

    I saw you on the Dragon while I was on my way out of the Dragon to 81 North to head home.
