QLD MINI Owners [The Usual Suspects]

[kyl72]

thats ok i have found them! There is usually a little icon near your user name....but it isnt there on anyones anymore...strange...you used to just click on the little camera and it wuold open their gallery. I had to click on your username, go to public profile and found it there. I wonder what happened to the little icon??!!

I must admit, I have given up waving to , or , getting Roz to flash another Mini. Most (present company excluded), other Mini drivers simply ignore, or at best think we have turned looney ! It wouldnt be because we have a Cabrio would it ?

Wont be able to make the Sanctuary Cove run as Motorline have organised their annual drive day for the same day. As we bought the car from them, and, we consider them to be great friends as well as the best dealership around.....( JCW kit...hint hint ), we will be going with them to Manly Yacht club for lunch.
We the look forward to the next Club mini run with you guys
In the meantime , if you see a nice DS MCSC with even nicer new wheels, give us a wave, we will respond
Only four more sleeps until i become an Aussie

Hopefully we will see you on a clubMINI run soon Smurfette as there is one to Sanctuary Cove not this long weekend but the weekend after.

Unfortunately I cant make the Sanctuary Cove run as I am organising my 30th birthday bash

No way Sunnybanker! I keep looking for you everytime i'm in Sunnybank, which is every 2 weeks, but haven't spotted you yet! I used to get that look from other mini drivers like I was looney but in the last month i have been receiving the very excited wave from other drivers!! Its cool and makes me laugh. One was an older lady...(in her 60's at least) and another was an older gentlemen in his late 60's i think Go the oldies!!!! I keep seeing a yellow/black mini in Sunnybank but never yours!

At what stage in life are you classed as an "oldie"

be careful here kyl

[kyl72]

sunnybanker i'm not far behind......but these 2 would have been late 60's possibly into their 70's and looked like typical fuddy duddies...which made it even funnier that they were driving minis and giving the biggest most excited wave ever!!

hahahaha...by this dead reckoning, I'm 12 years away from being an oldie mind you, when I have been gardening I reckon I'm 12 years past being an oldie !!

[kyl72]

12 years is a LONG time.... so dont get too worried old mate and besides i'm sure you're far from being a fuddy duddy!!

Does that make you officially a MINI nutter ?

I feel old when I work out that when this new baby (next couple of weeks) is 21 I'll be 56

The other baby eyegouged me in bed Sunday morning with a careless flick of the arm and since then I've had 3 trips to the emergency department + 1 to a specialist... and I can only just see out of the eye now

Hi kyl,

Lunch is at the Boardwalk Tavern at the Hope Island Marina Shopping Village at 1.30pm about 5 minutes from Sanctuary Cove.

I think the "clubMINI Social Club" will be there from 1pm and likely to be hanging round to 3.30+. The stalwarts may even stay until almost sundown again.

There reasoning for the Sanctuary Cove moniker on the run is because MINI pilots have the freedom to go "shopping" before or after lunch, if that is their pleasure.

Know you can't make the drive, but will be great to see you for lunch or drinks.

We are just checking the run sheet to make sure there are no detours since last year. Keep an eye out for another email from Ashley. It will contain the runsheet and details for the day.

K.

Thanks so much Ken! Hope to see you then!! Cheers
Kyl
