Calgary MINI Meet

[Luscious29]

I became a MINI owner in 2006 and have not had a chance to join in on a MINI Meet here in Calgary. When is the next one?
I have done my own drives to Revelstoke and to Las Vegas. But now would like to join others who love their MINIs as much as I do.

Have a safe holiday season!

Maybe we can organize one for mid january 07 or so? Can distribute the 07 Calgary MINI Calendars at the same time as well.

Where do we meet/go for a drive?

Welcome Luscious!

You've taken your MINI to Las Vegas? Are you considering going back for AMVIV this spring?

There will, of course, be the Ice Cream run sometime in April / May, but an informal meet in January could be fun also. Are you back in town for a while, Xtreme?

Oh, and Luscious, we all want to know more about your MINI!

[faster,Tobias!]

Welcome aboard, Luscious. I'm up for a drive.....

[Luscious29]

Well, The 7th of January would be fabulous to do a short drive! How much are the Calendars?

I got 2006 Blue/white top MINI Cooper S with Rallye sports package. I absolutely love it and have shown it off to all. Have had people come up to me and ask about it, as well as other MINI owners with tips or suggestions too! Going to Sicamous for ice cream is fun too.

The drive to Vegas was a blast but boring for passengers. Had "Bella" up to 170km/h, then slowed down as I am a little nervous about the State Police rumors I have heard.

I agree, the 7th would be the best weekend for a short drive. By late next week it is supposed to be snowing and minus 20. So if we are going, maybe we should go this Sunday. But just for a short one, eh?

Any suggestions for a short drive? I'm thinking meet up at Crowfoot, then go for a short drive NW of Cochrane on Grand Valley Road, which is midly twisty and relatively unused. Only about 8km one way so it's quite short.

7th is a bit too short notice...

Ok so anyone up for a little drive on Sunday? Probably gonna be about 1.5 hours long total from start to finish if we don't have to wait for people to show up

I can make it but only if we start off sometime late like 12:00 (noon) or after. Maybe we could drive and then stop for an afternoon coffee somewhere after.

Alright, 12pm Crowfoot Chapters parking lot! Hopefully it's more than just me and you

I gotta leave for Whitecourt at 4pm at the latest so I gotta be home at 3:30pm, perfect timing! I also just put the summer tires back on for saturday and sunday, hopefully the weather stays good!

I'm really sorry Lucas, but I now have to back out of the drive. Family plans were made without my knowledge and now I'm stuck with lunch and visiting relatives. But I'd like to go sometime when you are back in town.

If anybody is meeting tomorrow, have fun and drive carefully. Sorry I can't be there.

Haha that's alright.
Well if anyone wants to go reply to this thread, otherwise I'll just go for a little drive myself in the morning tomorrow while the roads are still dry!
