MINIsOnTop June 28th, 2008

He is actually organizing a sign up hunt

[blalor]

Now, now. Yes, I'll throw together a sign-up tomorrow. Or you can just let me know if you're interested here. (Is a separate thread necessary?)

Hey slacker Sign us up as well!

[m2smith]

To those in the north country...
After many years of pleading with that juggernaut that is MOT this year's charities are specific to the home state of the world's best MINI event (OK - at least in the top 10). The raffle of a rare MINI Clubman (try ordering one and see how far away October is...) has attracted few if any purchases from our northern neighbors!
Where is the local support or are you just holding off so that baker (who has bought multiple chances) is the likely winner (or wiener?)
(You know he secretly desires to rejoin so that he can again baker properly)

I really need to see some raffle tickets purchased soon - Remember - you need not be present to win (OK-Rick?) and the causes are great (Make-a-Wish New Hampshire and the Mt Washington Observatory) and, besides, I can't stand the thought of baker's gloating and I just plain don't like him

So please tell your friends, email your neighbors and buy some yourself by going to: MINIsOnTop

I hope I win I hope I win I hope I win I hope I win.

The fair is just a few months and 8 miles away. Hell, I may be able to drive home afterwards.

Much as I'd LOVE to see that, I think it's incompatible with the terms of the lease!
On the other hand, tell me more ... I haven't been to "banger racing" since the 70's!

I don't get it . . . I live in southern NH, not the north country, but I still don't get it.

Are you saying the north country of NH, which has a LOT less inhabitants than the southern tier (with it's Mass. tax evaders like me) or any of the other NE states or NY or other states represented by the multitude of MINIs On Top participants, has to buy an undefined number of raffle tickets? Even though thousands of acres are given over to the White Mtn. National Forest and to the Mount Washington State Park (among other areas that prohibit inhabitants) which out-of-staters and residents enjoy?

Or are you saying that, "Hey, folks, raffle sales to date are less than in other years. Please consider buying a ticket now, which benefits Make-A-Wish and the Mount Washington Observatory. And, of course, benefits the winner."?

[m2smith]

Yes.

Someone's a bit bitter...

Lesson: Wash car BEFORE MINIs on Top...

I'd buy a ticket, but if I win, what am I going to do with two MINIs for one person?

Can I buy one the day of?

[rfinprc]

Call for volunteers....

Hey MOT veterans! We're still looking for a few good women (men are okay too) to serve as ride leaders for the scenic rides from Loon to the Auto Road. Also, a few more hands on deck to help in the Loon lot during departure would be greatly appreciated (and it will help shorten my drivers' meeting talk -- a boon to all).

p.s. --
Sheena, I'm sorry to hear that your MINI s no longer chic. Is it still a chick car?

Okay, then. I'll take two tickets for $62.88.

(Yeah, I know the tix are $25.00. Keep the change. And if I can write the check to Make-A-Wish and it's a 501(c)3 non-profit, my employer will match it.)

Richard, in the sense that a woman drives PiRho, then yes. But, if you ask is it "girlie", then no.

[m2smith]

We need a couple more for the noon zipline tour on Sunday and it will be full up
Remember - It's not a chic ride anymore
