the Mobil station onto Meadowbrook Road.

At the end of Meadowbrook, turn left onto Huntingtown Road

About a mile and a half you'll see Maltbi Ave (signed) on the right.
Our driveway is the next left (between two tall stones).

See ya there!

Cooperspeed has been foaming at the mouth since the Twelve. Since then he's arranged a rough of his morning route, a luncheon at his lovely HOUSE, a tight crew of helpers, a scheduled preliminary runthrough next week, and after much deliberation, a GO DATE!

There's a thread over at MCO that details all the cofusing howabouts that went into this.

As a member of the organizing crew, I will personally be sure all pertinent information makes it to this initial post.

It promises to be a great run!!

Foaming at the mouth is a good way to describe it! This meet is going to ROCK! Hope eveyone can make it!

CooperSpeed13 · May 25th, 2003, 12:43 AM

Just ran the plotted morning course with my girlfriend. I have some good news and some bad news. The whole 75 mile route took me 2 hours and 15 min. to complete. Of the 75 miles there are about 7-10 miles of dirt roads. Most of the roads are pretty good, but some have some bumps. One of the roads that was on my map doesn't exist, so I have to do a little replanning, maybe I can even try to avoid some of the dirt roads if possible. That was the bad news. The good news is that this is going to be ONE HELLUVA RUN! GMINIO and AntsMINI are definitely going to approve this! Now its time to map the second half of the day.

GMINI · May 25th, 2003, 01:04 AM

Glad to hear it, CooperSpeed! Isn't setting up a run serious FUN???!!!!! Your girlfriend must be loving it.

Good luck editing out some of the dirt. There are some beauties here in New Milford area I left out for the same reasons. If you ever see Judd's Bridge on a map you'll see what I mean. One long, beautiful dotted line.

Maybe we could set up a scenic dirt road meet for some other time...

GMINI · May 25th, 2003, 01:06 AM

PS - have you mapped out Chrisnl's sketch to see what he was thinking?

CooperSpeed13 · May 25th, 2003, 02:12 AM

I am doing that as we speak. I think I have to add some major mileage to it though. Right now I have to plan around the dirt...hmmmmm...

GMINI · May 25th, 2003, 03:04 AM

Alright! I'm off to Montauk! Good luck with the route. Catch up on Monday night.

CooperSpeed13 · May 26th, 2003, 11:21 AM

Ok, new route planned out. Minimum dirt, and I finished the second half of the day. Time to run the whole thing!

When are you planning on the dry run? If I'm free, I would like to tag along, anytime after Tuesday should be fine with me, I leave for Tucson, AZ in a week and it would be nice to make a run before then.

GMINI · May 27th, 2003, 10:22 AM

X2. What's wrong with Tuesday? Meet us at the mall (when and where I forget

) and go motoring all night long!!!

CooperSpeed13 · May 28th, 2003, 03:57 AM

Tonight at the Danbury Mall, in front of Filene's at 7p.m.

GMINI · May 28th, 2003, 09:59 AM

Hey CooperSpeed! You're MINI's not blue!!!!!! But you're route is stunning and fantasticly twisty. What was that name you were thinking of? And missed a chance to see the logo ideas. Regardless, your girlfriend is lovely and your motor is mean. But those roads you've picked out are sweet as pie!

Can't wait to see the second half!!!

antsmini · May 28th, 2003, 10:59 PM

Was a great run, cant wait for the meet... See yall there.

CT MINI · May 28th, 2003, 11:10 PM

Ummm...you know I'm in on this right?

antsmini · May 28th, 2003, 11:35 PM

Sounds good CT! Had a great time last time.

CooperSpeed13 · May 29th, 2003, 01:17 PM

The second half should be just as good. If it isn't, I can always remap. As for a name, I was thinking something with Litchfield Hills in it. Don't really have a catchy phrase like "12 most dangerous curves". As for a logo, I was thinking about a mini just flying off a hill, and then have that inside the MINI wings. I will try and draw something up for Sunday.

Speaking of Sunday, we are going for a dry run of the second half of the meet on Sunday. It should last about 2 hours for the route.

antsmini · May 29th, 2003, 06:44 PM

Cooperspeed, I will be communicating with you on here from now on because there is a girl on MCO who I used to date who has become pyscho and we might have to get the police involved. As a result I no longer want to make my presence known to her on MCO in hopes that she will drop this stalker like behavior. So if you need to reach me, reach me here.

GMINI · May 29th, 2003, 07:39 PM

Y'know, ants, i did notice an eighteen wheeler loosely tailing us throughout the last runthrough. man. It even went left at 7 like you did. There were points on some of the twistier roads I thought it was going to ram me. I have to hand it to her - she's quite a driver!

Maybe you can help her miss the next runthrough by pretending to cancel on MCO...

How on earth she is so dense as not to search your same screenname on MINI2 is beyond me.

AH HA! Now I know why you are moving to the other side of the country

And you were trying to blame it on the weather. Pyscho EX girlfriends are scary, based on past personal experience, I suggest parking your car indoors or under constant surveillance.

antsmini · May 29th, 2003, 07:58 PM

She doesnt even own a MINI, so she doesnt know this site exists. The only reason she started posting on MCO was because I told her about it. But she actually lives in Washington DC, and when I told her I didnt want to see her anymore she went nuts. It is really scary. She is now fake posting under the name "minimouse" or something like that on MCO. She even started talking to L MINI then CALLED HER AT HOME to tell her about me. Keep in mind this girl has never met L Mini in person nor have I. Very scary stuff. So anyways thats the deal for now.
