Nice job Larry, I was at Concord MINI today and asked around a little bit, but didn't get very far with them supporting the club...YET. I'll stay after then and see what comes about. I'm looking forward to this run...it should be a good one!

If anyone feels up to it, MINI of Mountain View should be approached by someone in the group. I would do it, but with my past experiences with them, probably wouldn't be the best person to do it, but if nobody wants to I can at least give it a shot.

I talked to Mt. View MINIs, they said they will help us out, but have not really sit down and talk to them yet, but I talked to the customer relation manage (Nancy) she is more than happy to promote our club to their new customer, I also left some NorCal MINIs card at there. I will contact them again and ask Rod(Parts Dept.) for more details.

Once the web and the club is set, I will go out and get more sponsor.

In order to keep the logistics as simple as possible, I feel two meeting places would be enough. Everybody in the northbay or Sacto area would have to drive south anyway, and would be close to intersecting with either Eastbay MINI or Vallco. Vallco could be the final meeting point since that location is closest to our destination. Any comments Larry?

larry paquette · Jul 2nd, 2003, 11:29 PM

As far as eastbay the more that meet there the better. Walnut Creek , Saramento , Reno meet us at eastbay. Heck even you s.f. and s.j. people can meet us if you want. Haha. .

DrkSlvrS · Jul 3rd, 2003, 08:31 AM

Do you have a route planned yet?
I live south of San Jose and I might be able to meet up with you as you travel toward Big Sur.
I don't mind traveling to Vallco but I would enjoy the extra hours sleep.
If you wanted to come down the East side of the Santa Cruz mountains, west of Morgan Hill, San Martin and Gilroy ...
Vallco - 280 south - Guadalupe Prkwy south - Santa Theresa exit - right on Coleman - left on Almaden Expwy - dead end of Expwy right on Harry - left on McKean - right on Watsonville Rd. - right on Hwy 152 - over the hill by Mt. Madonna Inn - down into Watsonville - right on 129 - south on 1 to Big Sur. Time from Almaden Expwy to Watsonville, about 1-hour. Go by 2-reservoir (Calero & Uvas)- nice twisty roads - 3 or 4 wineries - before Mt. Madonna there is a nice Redwood grove. Something to think about.

mini huni · Jul 7th, 2003, 07:21 PM

dinlo,

I think this should be a poker run.
The best five poker hands gets the prizes.
The top hand gets first choice and so on.
What do you folks think?

schlick · Jul 7th, 2003, 08:23 PM

I would vote against doing the poker thing, for a couple reasons but mostly because the people that will have to organize it have about 4 days now. This is a definate possibility for our next run or at least future runs though.

I did a predrive of a route we could use, didn't care to much for it. The majority of the roads we would be going on are very small two lane or 1 1/2 lanes at best, not so cool with two way traffic. I've got another route to use, trying to go through the SC mountains if possible, I always have fun blasting through there. If it works, the route suggested by DrkSlvrS sounds interesting! I will post my findings in the next couple of days.

larry paquette · Jul 7th, 2003, 10:18 PM

I vote no on the poker run thing. We should use the good old raffle ticket thing and raise sum bucks for the club.

dinlo · Jul 8th, 2003, 12:41 AM

I'm sorry, but what is "poker run"

Can anyone help me on this?

If we can not do it this time, may be next time

MiniRodge · Jul 8th, 2003, 01:02 AM

I agree with the raffle to raise funds for the club - maybe the poker hands can be to decide the driver order in the fast group… ;-P

I've driven the route suggested by DrkSlvrS with my boss in an Expedition - it would be a blast in the MINI! Lets do it!

MiniRodge · Jul 8th, 2003, 01:03 AM

BTW Dinlo, check the club site - I've signed up too…

Mrb6469 · Jul 10th, 2003, 01:10 AM

I will have MINI Stubby antenas with me on Saturday if anyone is interested in purchasing one...See you them

dinlo · Jul 10th, 2003, 01:58 AM

I just ordered some more T-shirts, you can purchase them on Sat if you interest.

Mrb6469 · Jul 10th, 2003, 03:05 AM

Hey dinlo...how much are the T-Shirts?

dinlo · Jul 10th, 2003, 04:02 AM

Should be $15 to $20.

TonyB · Jul 10th, 2003, 07:42 PM

Just wanted to comment that the route proposed by DrkSlvrS that cuts through West of Morgan Hill on McKean/Uvas Road is very desirable: minimal traffic in the am hours, and a kick to drive. I live off a side street on that route in a canyon - a major reason I got a MINI

You will encounter a few narrow bridges... and maybe a few bicyclist on the road... ENJOY!

schlick · Jul 10th, 2003, 08:25 PM

Sounds like we have a route of choice, just came back from Monterey, the Salinas Rodeo is this weekend which would toss out my other idea of a way to go. See you all on Saturday, there will be lots of new and exciting news about the club, would is exciting all on its own.
