Sounds like fun. I'll throw a reminder on my calendar for end of March when I get my MINI back out.

 

How can you all go all winter without driving your MINI's? ut:

I think about the 20,000 miles I'm keeping off of it a year.
Plus all the rocks and salt that arn't getting at it.
And when I slide on ice into a fence in my civic - I don't care.
Winter driving is scary enough, i like doing it in a car i don't care about.

 

I went through a nice little snow squall yesterday between State College and Altonna. I think the MINI handles great in the winter. I understand your caution, but I just could not bring myself to not drive it for that long.

It's rough sometimes. But... at the rate I drive I'd have 225,000 miles on it in 5 years when my payments are done. Based on some stories, it might not even run that long. :frown5: If I garage it for 3-4 months that cuts it to 112,000 in 5 years - much more swallowable.

 

Jeeesh Jim.....
Don't rub it in.....
I think about my MINI all the time and all the fun I'm missing not driving it.

However, I'm also one of those that doesn't want the winter wear and tear abusing my MINI, let alone the nut jobs driving on the slick streets. Nope, I'll wait until Spring.

 

Excellent idea. Big thanks to Aaron too!

 

Curves and MINI, what else could you ask for?

Good idea.

 

Does it need to be a new for contest photo or can you use photos taken at an earlier time "old stock" so to speak.

 

The Waco Run is this weekend... Let's see what we can come up with!

 

I love the theme, I'm mulling some fun ideas.

MY thoughts exactly - PLUS I got a new camera for Christmas - we'll see if I can make it go!

 

Exactly!
