    Hey Jeff, do the donut run this year and I'll pull over for you if I need to. I'm sure Dave, Blake and Rick will do the same.

    Sorry...I held up Chuck and Barbara the first time and will NEVER, EVER do that again. I ruined his day and we got there as everyone was leaving. By the time we got our donuts, everyone had left. It's ok...I prefer to drive alone in the future and on my own drives...no hassles that way and no more frustrated friends.

    Do worry about us we will catch up.

    I was on my way home, anyway. Chuck got me onto 129 after the donut fiasco and went back to Fontana while I went back to Ohio. This was the last time for the R50 at MOTD.

    It's not a matter of leaving early so people can catch up. You go to have fun and to "drive it like ya stole it". My Cooper with its cvt just can not do that...and it didn't, thus holding up Chuck [who was nice enough to hang back so I wouldn't get completely lost].

    Since then, I have brought my R53 down, but this will be the last time for it, too.

    I see no reason to be "one of the last to leave a party" and overextend your welcome. Hell, your hosts have to clean up and eventually get to bed, themselves, before starting the next day. Being the last [or one of the last] to leave, merely to keep on "having fun" is just inconsiderate.

    I promise I'll be there this year. I do love me some donuts!

    Besides, with this cast of characters, who could pass THAT up?
