Most liked posts in thread: TX - Waco Run - Dallas to Waco

38 MINIs from the north side and 13 people came up from Houston (another 6 MINIs, maybe), for a total of 44 cars!

The Waco Run #8 (The Ocho) came off without a hitch, no MINI harm and no tickets that I know of.

Photos to come!

A first this year: A guy in an older Camaro got in the middle of one of our run groups and stayed with us through 4-5 turns through twisty roads. During a stop to wait up for the group to reassemble, someone went back to talk to him. He saw the group of MINIs, figured that we were headed towards some great roads and joined in on the fun! He drove with us for 20+ miles before pulling off. The event is so much fun that everyone wanted to join in!

 

Yep. This event is still happening!

Dave, who runs the event now, will be announcing soon. He's roped me into working up the map packets again. The end point will be the Dr. Pepper museum in Waco, with a catered lunch there, I believe.

I'm not 100% sure of the date, but I'm 95% sure that it is Saturday, Jan 3, 2015.

 

Ask and ye shall receive: Waco Run 2015 - Saturday , January 3rd 2015 - MetroplexMINI

For anyone in the Texas area... this is one of my favorite events. It was my first group drive with my R53, way back in 2005. I ran it for 5-6 years before moving to CA, but every year I feel an urge to hop on a plane and make this drive.

 

Always a great start to the motoring year!

 

Just a ping to wake this thread up...

I know that Nathan put this drive here to share some wonderful (at any time) roads, but the Waco Run is on Jan 7, 2012 this year.

Please come to WacoRun | An outing from Dallas to Waco to share in the fun!

 

We're in Aaron! I think I'm driving this time!!!

 

And we're off! Someone said 30 MINIs!!!

 

37!

 

Without pics.............it's not happening!

 

Old thread, I know (but so am I).

Drove much of this route last Saturday, from Austin to Granbury, to pick up my Clubman S. It was a melancholy trip up, saying goodbye to my high-mileage SVT Contour in the fog-enshrouded hills between Belton and Glen Rose, but a pleasant, sunny drive back, looking at the bluebonnets from my 2009 Clubman S.

 

Yea! Welcome to the MINI world.

Now that you are MINI'd up, be sure to join us next January for the full run. Seeing 50+ MINIs all in one place and chaging up the twisties is a blast!

Mark it on your calendar: Jan 5, 2013!

WacoRun | An outing from Dallas to Waco

 

I'll have to try an schedule a trip to Dallas the day before and join you on the return trip. Sounds like fun!

 

Is this still being done? I'd love to join in on the fun, but see no mention of it on Metroplex Mini forum.

 

Oh yeah... keep watching MetroplexMini.org. It will most likely pop up there. If I see a thread and remember, I'll come back here and post a link for you.

 

Thanks for the link. I'll be keeping my eyes on this closely.
