Sorry we didn't all get to meet whilst we were both in San Diego. Maybe sometime later on in our future.

 

I don't know how we managed to miss each other, but we did it!

The trip was a blast, about the only down note for me was the last day's drive home across Texas - man that's a big state! I didn't think we'd ever get home....

I would not want to try and change a front wheel bearing on the side of the road, even if I had the tools - so I was grateful that we were able to use Jeff's shop and driveway to do the repairs.

The MINI drove perfectly the whole time, the A/C kept us comfortable in those 118* Phoenix temps and thru the desert till we got to Sandy Eggo and home again.

The classic also did extremely well, and we had huge fun on the back country run on Thursday - taking 3rd place out of about 40 cars!

All in all a very successful trip, and a solid vote for Bruce to be able to tow his classic to other upcoming Mini events - so no excuses now Bruce! :biggrin5::biggrin5:

 

Congrats on your long journey and BOTH your really NICE cars!

 

Sounds like a great trip. Any details on the event itself? The activities sounded like they would be really fun, especially the rally and autocross. I was going to head down, but a sold out hotel and not being sure on how they felt about MINI's at the event changed my mind. Were there many MINI's there?

 

It's a national MINI/Mini event. There are two...one being Mini Meet East, East of the Mississippi, and the other being Mini Meet West...West of the Mississippi.

 

And every 5 years there's Mini Meet East Meets West!

While primarily classic Mini focused, the events are open to all MINI/Minis and all are welcome, there were plenty of new MINIs there too.

There are plenty of hotels in that part of Sandy Eggo, in fact there's a Motel 6 that had vacancies right next door to the event hotel. Next time, don't hesitate, just go!

 

I'm also in KC. Are there ever any mid-west meet ups?

 

Definitely, check the KC forum....love to have you join us!
