I suggest having the next MINI meet on Sunday - that way it gives us MINI sales people the chance to join up and have some fun too! I would hate to miss out on all that fun!
Canmore sounds like a good idea. We can always set a date for the next trip and choose our path closer to the time depending on the weather conditions.
A winter rally would be a great idea! Lobby your local MINI dealer to have them sponsor the event. Perhaps with a sufficient amount of harrassment, they will host the event.

That makes sense We'll leave the poll open for a week or so and see what the general concensus is, I'd love to have you MINI MAs come, its great fun to see the people who sell MINIs love them so much

I voted for the 26th but now that I think about it we should have it on Sunday. I need my Saturdays to go skiing.

I recall you ordered your BRG Mini Cooper CVT and it'll come some time during november?
Hopefully it'll come before the meet

Hopefully she will come. She is scheduled to leave Southampton on Wednesday the 19th and arrive in Halifax on the 26th. Now I guess it all depends how quickly she will clear customs and make the cross Canada journey. I'm hoping to get her before the 11th (start of the ski season) but I don't know if that's very likely.

I think sunday would be best as well. Saturday mornings are reserved for catching up on sleep and/or for being hung over!

I hope it doesn't snow by then! Well, at least I have my winters on my x-lites now!

Had a blast on Sunday!!! Don't care which day we pick. I'll go in and vote for a Sunday because I'm hoping for a free lunch (ha, ha). I had to go to work after coffee last time, but no rush in November (don't have to work weekends).

Seriously though, maybe MINI will pay for our speeding tickets if you company guys are there.

Or bail... I heard they'll lock you up if you go 50km/h over the speed limit, I don't know what 100km/h over is, hehehe

*ahem* not that any of us did that in the meet... oh no we were good boys

And insurance hikes for the younger MINI motorers!

Ill Look in to the winter rally with the CSCC and let you guys know.


Side Note: Another good idea would be to have a December meet where we go skining/snowboarding as a group. I say December because I'm not sure how much snow will be on the hill tops in November.

I just ran in to this. I always wanted to go watch a rally event up in the hills.
Kananaskis Rally 2005

Might be short notice but if people would want go we should try and set something up.

[MINI Artist]

I voted for a Sun. I work Saturdays. Best day for us would be the 20th. Our Mini just might be in by then too.

That would be great although I don't know how many here ski/snowboard. If enough people are up for it Sunshine already has a decent amount of snow and more snow is in the forecast so I think it would be highly unlikely for them to not open on their scheduled opening day (November 11). In the past couple years they have been wide open by late November. Louise in my opinion isn't ever worth going until the end of December while Kicking Horse doesn't open until December 16th but will most likely have good conditions by then. In my opinion if anyone would be up for a ski trip Sunshine is the best bet unless of course we wait until next year.

On a side note my MINI is shipping is shipping out today from Southampton and is arriving in Halifax on the 26th!!!

I'm in for the Kananaskis Rally.
