Yankee Candle, Boston & Area51 Caravan to MOT 2008

[hfs3]

We're still meeting up @ Yankee Candle and heading to Area 51, but since we've got one of the dogs with us, not sure we'll make the trek to Mt. Washington. Anyone else bringing their pet(s) along?

Henry & Marnie --

Carol and I will have our GoldenDoodle "Cooper" along. We have one of those ground stakes and a 10-ft lead. Thus, I will only be able to operate in a 20-ft diameter but the dog will be free!

so after asking my sister many a times, it seems like she can't make it to this years MOT either, count me out for the YC/A51 run.
Hope you all have a great and safe time!
Happy Motoring!

I've never (gasp!) been to YC, and my oval will be proudly displayed nonetheless.

BTW Theo...if you're keeping a head count, looks like I'll be making A51 on time after all.

Venno, we're all here at the Red Roof Inn without you, you slacker! We miss you. Maybe next year, and hope to see you in August!

The Midwest & NY crowd has arrived in the Yankee Candle neighborhood.

See everyone tomorrow morning !!!

As usual, the chances of me making anything on time is slim...if I'm not there, I may catch up en route.

The YC Caravan is off and running with a real nice group of approx. 25 MINI's under the firm guiding hand of Trailboss Theo ( think Ward Bond ) . Thanks Cathleen for channeling some excellent " Ed " MAXAMINI " Smith vibe with a bagful of ducks and that great pinwheel photo . I know we clued a few more folks in on what the ducks are all about . Like our friend said ...

"...the weekend will be what it is. MINIs On Top will define itself. It is like a river overflowing it's banks. It cannot be contained. Go with the flow. Don't dip your toe. Full immersion is the way. In the end you will find it less about the cars than the people who inhabit them. "

Have a great weekend everybody !!!!

And ours certainly got off to a great start - Thanks Jeff & Patty! And you know what? - I stared at my bag of google eyes & said to myself "I gotta remember that." I didn't. You guys rock.

I hope you have a great UK adventure - one of the few things worth missing MoT for.

Jeff and Patty -
Thanks for the gift bag! I am using the badge you made because I forgot my own...
and that is not the reason for the appreciation of the munchie stuff you included as well.
Wait 'til you see how in front of the curve you guys are - Extra thanks in a kind of Edweird way.

There will be pictures! but I am still very jealous of your trip. Have a great one - I know you'll have a blast.

[hwy61]

Thanks for the thanks ! Sleep tight Mikey...

[yellowmininy]

Thanks from me too, Jeff! I have both badges but I'm wearing yours.

[hwy61]

Hope all you guys had a Great MOT !!! It was nice meeting a bunch of new people . Look forward to seeing you again next year.

Big round of applause to Theo & Carol for getting all the ducks in a row putting this all together and getting everyone there in fine fashion.
