Yes, very good road in the Mini. I did it in a transport on a navigational rally. Had a fresh set of Yokohama Advans on the car, catching a Lotus Elan (60's model) with an S2000 catching me! We were driving through the windy bit through the forest, not exceeding the speed limit, but still much quicker than I would have considered doing on road tyres. Good fun but as I should point out as always drive within your liits, the limits of the car, and the limits of the road conditions.

sorry guys. can't come this time, got a 2 yo bday to go to

Hey Rellik (& crew....),

Had a great drive today. I remember seeing a sign that said: "10km Winding Road"

.... (if ever there was a photo op. with a MINI next to it!?!?!).

That sign put a

big smile

on my face....I wasn't disappointed either.

Excellent drive!!! Thanks again.

Regards,

Nice to see you along, it was great nice another R56 in the club! Nice Car BTW!

Sorry we didn't get to chat yesterday, was a bit manic as we hadn't been along for a drive or two!

Hope your up for the MINI golf, we will be arranging a drive from Doncaster to the MINI Golf.

Should be a great Morning out!

anyone know when is the next drive and where(for Nov)? clubmini site is still showing the next drive in oct

and what happened to the photos of the last 2 events?

rellik666 · Nov 7th, 2007, 07:24 PM

Photo's should be on there way this weekend, unfortunately I have been a bit busy over the last few months. But I should get to it this week.

At the moment we have no planned drive day this month, it all depends on what happens at the AGM on Wednesday. I hope that you are coming along! Doncaster on Wednesday.

The club should have a full calendar next year so watch this space.

The GOR run will probably happen in Feb, so keep your diary free! :-)

YaY, great stuff

, the mini golf was a great event and it was great to meet a few people too. For those who didn't go.. I came second in mini golf:P May be I can get my mini cap and sticker as a prize next time :P *hint hint*

gok4rt · Dec 29th, 2007, 08:28 PM

Hi Guys,
When is the next clubMINI drive? Unfortunately, I missed the MINIgolf, had other committments....hangin' out for the next drive.

shinchan · Jan 15th, 2008, 11:34 AM

I am bored.... hope we can organise some mini get together in Jan as I will be in europe for the Month of Feb (: ( I think thats the GOR cruise).

Rossi66 · Jan 20th, 2008, 09:52 AM

Is there any new news on when the proposed GOR Clubmini drive is? I'm interested in tagging along to see what this Clubmini thing is all about

I'm hoping it's early Feb...unfortunately got a knee op that will keep me and the MCS off the road for a while

gok4rt · Feb 17th, 2008, 08:06 AM

Hi clubMINI gang,

Great drive today (my brunch didn't arrive, but that's okay). It was excellent to see so many cool cars together.

We hit a few new roads today (for me at least, sheltered childhood?!?). I'll be hitting them again in the near future to have a bit more fun!!!

It was cool to get up close to R56 JCW's too....

Looking forward to the next drive already!!

Nil Time · Feb 17th, 2008, 09:57 AM

Great drive today - thanks for making me welcome -

Thoroughly enjoyed the roads and cars - but like Gok4rt- my brunch did not arrive, and since I had to be somewhere at 1230 - I had to do a runner. Not too worry, the coffee was certainly adequate!

Looking forward to the next gathering.

Cheers,

Michael · Feb 17th, 2008, 10:34 AM

Grrr, thats bad news on the stomach front. Sorry to hear that!

Thanks for coming today and i'm glad you both enjoyed yourselves. Sorry about the small 'detour' to the other cafe....Oooops!

Look forward to seeing you both at the next drive. We'll keep you posted of upcoming events.

im_dave · Feb 17th, 2008, 10:27 PM

Sounds like it was a cracker of a drive. Sorry couldn't make it, had a few things on in the morning.

Weather was good too.

Hopefully I can make the next one! Out of curiosity, which roads did you guys drive on?

gok4rt · Feb 18th, 2008, 09:23 AM

Hi Michael,
Missed the detour to the wrong cafe... 4 of us (including Tony, aka Nil Time) fell back from your group, so we got to the right cafe. We were a little confused about what happened to you guys.

Thanks again for a great drive.

Wizzzz · Feb 18th, 2008, 10:15 AM

Yep... It was a great drive. Loads of fun!

Can't wait till the next one!

I ended up only getting 1 pic, so thought I'd attach it.
