Me an' Secco have been holed up in our secret splinter group hideout, judging from the pic there are spies amongst us. Time for some conoitering. I suspect the french maid currently in our employ.

We're planning on having our own miniMoT up near the main visitor center overlooking all of the to be hungry fools down below. We'll be dining on a 7 course spread, currently out to bid to the finer purveyors. We'll be limiting our group to 3 cars, kind of a memorial to the MINIMiata Meet of 2003. Applications for the enjoyment of our company can be sent to a dirt road in NH on a floppy disk. Applicants must have a disdain for every and all aspects of the current dictatorship. No red or yellow MINIs, we do not want duplicates. Silk Green will have special consideration as will UPS Brown.

In previous years, I haven't tried to coordinate my F1 activities with MINI activities simply because the coordination of my F1 activities has been, well, uncoordinated. Just making it to the track in a timely and orderly manner has been a major accomplishment. Plus I check NAM about once a year, so I can't honestly say I'm up on what they've been doing. But maybe in future I'll be more ambitious! As for next year's race, although they haven't even fixed a date for it yet (smart money says it'll be the weekend of June 11-12), tickets go on sale to the general public on July 16. Tickets for past patrons are already on sale, so I put my 2005 ticket order in on 7/1. Going for section 34 again (inside of the hairpin)...

I thought the motto of MOT was In Cod we truse? My Cod, why have you forsaken me?

More like "The Cod we want to truss".

And Ian....c'mon now. "Don't leave us - we don't know what to do without you". What's up with that?

Wow - I only waited 20 days to check for this thread - looking good!!!

Matt and I are definately in for next year - and we'll be bringing his MINI so we both can say our car's been on top (I'm the special one now!!!). We'll be spending the week prior heading up the coast looking for surf spots (for Matt) and fun shopping (for me!). I think he should head to the top with the surfboards on - nothing like a 9' board to lift your car off of the mountain!!! We could have flown down last month if we'd done that!!!

Anyway - I'm also here to throw my hat in as a volunteer - As I live on my computer and am online all of the time (developing websites and doing research and stuff), I'd be more than happy to hold the email update list and do the mass emailing for ya... (Sir Cod - this is an offer to you!!!)
As we're from Jersey - not a lot of help with the on-site planning - however I'm open if ya need it! (I don't count my trip back up there to MA and ME in two weeks as being available!!!)

Thanks again - and it's good to see that you're all still nutters!!!!
