Ian, they may be planning to stagger the send off of the cars, but it sounds like they want every one there for a driver's meeting shortly after 9am...
"Sunday April 23 rd will be a day of fun for all MINI enthusiasts, beginning with registration at 9:00 a.m., and a quick get together to admire everyone’s cars, both new and old. Shortly thereafter, we will send off the first cars."

I'm sure it will barely contained chaos like all good MINI runs

Anyone interested in meeting at the Denny's adjacent to the Nashua Mall (exit 6) on Sunday morning?

Meet at 7:30 and depart at 7:45?

You're right Gavin. This is one of the places where Paul & I did not think the same way (the other was his plan for a 3 hours plus drive, which I did succeed in nixing!)

This is a silly question, but I just want to verify.

Are we meeting at the actual dealership, or the place where the Care for Keith event was? (which I thought was the dealership also)...

Forgive me, I've only been there once on the burning mini's run before, so I can't remember.

Thanks!
Jess

We are meeting at the dealership - on route 1 south opposite Costco. From 128/95N, head north on route 1, and use route 114W to go under the highway and turn around (after passing Costco & TGI Fridays)

Sounds like a plan, I'll be there. I've got a HB/S MCS, New Hampshire plates BRN2CNR.

Where exactly will you be at the mall? It gets pretty crowded around the Denny's in the AM.

I guess this isn't the same format then.

So we're basically just driving over to pavilion beach and back?

Now I'm not so worried about a lack of navigator.

uh, anybody besides me having trouble seeing the route on these maps??? I hope this isn't a "senior" thing. Hey Ian, could you possibly email these to me so I can load them and play increase in size games? Jock

never mind...........I figured it out.

Jock,
Did you click on the image to get it "full size"?

Those should be big enough to print well.


Anyway, here now is the turn-by-turn directions in case you want to print them out before you arrive at MoP in the morning:

I am such a techno dweeb, but I did figure out how to get it full size.What is that little whoopdeedoo before heading down Ipswich road?????? why not just a right turn????? it will mean crossing Rt 1 twice!?

It's because you have to stop at Klock Park and get your first playing card

I / We will be across the roadway from the Denny's. Generally we're the only MINIS so we stand out a bit

I'll see you (and maybe Dave and Chris) in the AM.

Bring a radio tuned to Channel 7, no subchannel, if you've got one.

Thanks for the reminder, and just making sure it is repeated.
