Suppose whether he gave that away or not depends on how good a poker face he's got.

"I'll see your herbs and raise you another spice"

Hey All

Just wondering if you guys would want a group of Classic Minis joining you on this run? I'd like to put a notice about this event in our club magazine and let people know it's on if there's no objections.

I've been wanting to do a combined cruise for a while - I reckon it'd be even more of a spectacle than normal to see the classic Minis and the new MINIs cruising up the road together.:D

Rest assured, We DEFINITELY don't want to take the event over or anything like that, just let our members know it's on so they can join you.

Now that you've confirmed it for the 17th, I'd like to get details into our club magazine, if everything is finalised and if there's no objections. Let me know what you think.

Sorry to get this thread back on topic - resume regular programming now!!:p

ROFLFunny u say that Scotty but when we all sat down he introduced himself as the Colonel, honestly. We all had a chuckle and he said everyone calls him Colonel Sanders and i think he thinks that is his claim to fame. Of course i really did ask him Louis can he tell me his secret herbs and spices and also asked him does he use Old Spice Aftershave. Had a ball. Sure he has heard them all a thousand times. Check out the guy opposite me we called him santa.LOL:biggrin:

OK No worries - what's the go? $10 value present and the most inappropriate item you can find??:p

And a different pool of presents for the kids? Sounds good. If people want to be scrooges they can come and just not go in the present draw right??

Have we locked in a start time?

YEah pretty much... not sure abt the separate pool of presents for the kiddies though coz we didn't have that last year and not sure how many ppl will bring anything for the kiddies... and they gotta be wrapped up, so ppl don't know what's inside them...

we usually just rock up at PITS throughout the morning... hopefully hauling our butts outta PITS by 11-11:30 heading out to Wiseman's Ferry.

Oh and yeah... scrooges don't get a go in anything ;)

Um, yes we did have separate presents for the kids last year. Maybe only the people with kids noticed though.;) :p

Thats right Louis, they were in the boot of Brad's car. In my non child having wisdom I made them wait till after all of the festivities were over to get their presents tho :eek: (that may be why no one noticed)

Basically, the parents just stuck a present in for their kid to open - so it wasnt exactly secret santaish but the kids were definately involved :D

Hi Kerrie, Since I haven't been to one of these secret santa turn outs yet , you buy something for ten bucks and wrap it up ? what do you do with it when you get to PITS ? :pconfused:

chuck it in the boot of the poki machine, and that's pretty much it until the drawing of the numbers...

bump bump bump.. ;)

Just a thought, how are ppl placed to rock up at PITS 9.30-10am on the Sunday? Figured we'd get the ball rolling with the Secret Santa around 10:30, so we can start heading off for Wisemans 11-11:30am.

Also bring a CB if you have one. If not, that's ok, just keep sight of the MINI infront of you.

The PITS - "Yes sir, what can I get you?"
Me: I'll have a big mug of your best Hot Chocolate
The PITS - "Certainly sir, and the usual system sir? "
Me: Yeah, Wazza can pay.

Before there MINI there was no such thing as Sunday morning in my life. It got a bit like a religion for a while there - almost like going to church every week. :D

So much so... that you live in a church now... :wink: :biggrin:

BTW, got an email from Captain Captain... he sends his apologies that he won't be able to make it as he'll be overseas. But in his usual unselfish manner, he's provided some goodies to give away on the day as prizes for stuff... so, although he won't physically be there with us, he'll be there in spirit.

BTW Ann, I got me a 500 chip poker set :)
