Pete,
do you happen to know when the road was fully cleared of snow for auto traffic?

Another key component fell into place today - The Governor of the state of New Hampshire, John Lynch (like most of New Hampshire - formerly of Massachusetts) has proclaimed June 16th "MINI Cooper Day" in the Granite State. My thanks to ........ who remains nameless but without his help this would never have happened. Beth picked it up from the Governor's secretary today and has Louis guarding it. My thanks to you two as well...

I really don't understand why MINI2 wouldn't list this event as "events happening in the next 14 days" on the home page????? what? are we chopped liver????
first no antenna balls and now this?

Well, I think someone would have to put it in the Calendar in the first place...

Today's Globe has these listings in 'Your Weekend' Calendar:

Mt. Washington Alternate Energy Days: Don't miss the "Alternate Energy Regatta" featuring 100 mpg 'Moonbeam.' You you thought Mini Cooper had a monopoly on cute fuel economy. Sunday and Monday at the base of Mt. Washington

Loon Mountain Sneak-Peek Weekend: Ride the gondola, grab a bite to eat, squeeze through caves. Friday through Sunday, Loon Mt., Lincoln, NH.

Looks like everybody else is invited to both our spots, but us...

Ever since the front of the Automotive section in 2004 when Royal Ford rode with us they don't mention us at all - And they DO get sent plenty

Now as to the calendar thing on MINI2 - Whoops- Never knew about it- All this new fangled stuff...
How do you even chisel onto it?

Let's start thinking of things to bring so the many of us with hot air upstairs forget less!

• FRS radios
• a cooler with some interesting beer and to store your lunch on saturday
• foldable chairs so you can sit next to your car in parking lots when it's not raining
• umbrellas for when it is raining
• warm clothes for On Top
• bathing suit for the T&C pool, hot tub, steam room, and 3 saunas
• all your photo and video gadgetry
• your MOT packet

So let's all show up and run circles around that moonbeam. If it's really a regatta, bring paddles.

Ahhh... a year ago I was staring longingly at these boards, pouting over the fact that I didn't think I would be welcome up at MoT, even though my car was in the works to be built the beginning of July. I waitied as the boards all fell but silent Friday through Sunday afternoon as you all went off to enjoy yourselves. And when the photos started to be posted, I lived vicariously through you all.

And now I can enjoy for myself in my MINI this year! I have to say I am quite excited that not only will I be going to MoT, but that I was able to coerce my favorite copilot to get his own MINI and join MoT too!

Can't wait... only one more day!

Some of us are smart enough to get our cars delivered just before MOT, not after!
