| Yeah, even though some of the corners with "speed suggestions" of 75 or 85 kph on #762 were taken at 130 - 140 kph (in the wet!), why did I get the feeling that the speeds were down on this run? Great fun in those twisty bits, and kudos to all for safe and sane driving. Once again great job on the photos Lucas (X), thanks for posting those up. Hope to make it down for a future run, the Son and I had a blast! (although he complained that I got to drive in the twistiest sections, hey... who was to know?...  )And thanks to MiniVee for organizing and map handouts.   |

| Tony, it was aweful. RS3TURN would not give up the timbits.  We were thinking of taking him behind the dumpsters at Chapters at give him a quick lesson in politeness and the fine art of head butting but he also had muscle with him protecting the timbits. |

| He would not accept them. He insisted on giving me a "spare tire" tire as well as one he left for you. At the bike racks....after school.  (I could use the workout to work off the timbits). |

| My guess is The Madchester Northern Monkey must have been watching Man U's lucky pole vault to the top of the Premiership division. Either that or catching up on Corrie in his jammies  |

| Anyone notice if I was smoking white during the run? I'm curious if I've been burning coolant as I've run into an overheating issue: http://www.mini2.com/forum/faults-fi...ng-issues.html I was in the Red/Black CVT Cooper. |

| Very strange, sounds like a stuck thermostat to me, if you're not actually leaking coolant. Can't say I saw anything strange from your exhaust, it was pretty hard to see white smoke in the rain though.  |

| MiniPapa: I was in the tail car with xtremepsionic, and didn't notice anything smoking from your car's exhaust. The car itself, of course, is a different matter: it is smoking! I do love the red/black combo |

| I'm with Xtreme; it sounds like the thermostat isn't opening at the right temperature, but it does open eventually. This would cause the overheating with a sudden return to normal. |
