Hi Ross,

We have only just organised the invites to be mailed out to owners in Sydney and Canberra (non MINI2er's) so you've still got plenty of time. End of next week should be fine.

Regards

Brad

Yay i have a Fellow CVT owner going with me on this Trip... i thought i was the only one with the CVT thats going to go coz everyone else has Cooper S'

its good to know that there going to be another CVT driving

Regards,
Eric

[Dooks]

hehehe, I think I've trained my CVT too well.... it's learnt that I love pushing it hard so it's guzzling up lots of fuel Slightest touch on the accelerator and it wants to go. I'm trying my best to get my run in period over as soon as possible (I'm on 450kms now, had it a week) so hopefully I'll allow myself to use my SD and M modes and get to play with the paddles

Hey guys, i just made my payment.

So, ill be coming along with Dooks as a passenger.......im really looking forward to this meet, as it will be my first, ive met a few of you guys at Eastern Creek on Australia Day, but Canberra should be awesome.

6 to 8 weeks time until i get my MINI, so the next meet you'll all see him.

Daniel

Ps: Hi Brad, just double checking you understand that im going along in Dooks car. Thanks, cant wait to meet you again.

Cool Dooks

it is the best for cvt but i need to get new wheels for my MC coz i only have 15" wheels on it and making high speed turns with the RunFlats it makes a massive skit noise trying to keep up with a Cooper S

but i am looking forward to meeting Dooks and Daniel on 28th

Eric

Mooper is awesome. I have 16" wheels and they too make a screeching skid noise when I go really fast around corners. I think I heard it the second day after I got the car

Hi Ross,

Great to see you on the drive, I am sure there will be a partner for you to hit a ball or two. Not much of a tennis player myself ... squash has had a bit of influence on my inability to keep the ball in the court.

[Dooks]

When people go on drives, do they bring an extra bottle of coolant and engine oil and other bits of spare stuff? I am wondering whether it's a good idea to keep some in the car.

[MINI2_COOPER]

Hey Brad,

Have you organized a meeting point for next Saturday ?

Are maps supplied ? or should i just bring my City Link UBD & keep it in Dooks car, just in case. .

Daniel

Really looking 4ward to next weekend.

Only if we go via "Wakfield Raceway" . There are plenty of outlets along the way. Check all fluid levels and fill up before we meet on Saturday and you should be fine.
An email has been sent to all attendees with a short briefing for Saturday and Sunday.
Regards

Brad
