Everyone in the NW needs to come out and join us on our first club drive to Chuckanut on Jan. 25th!

ClubMINI @ Chuckanut

I'll try to make it. Don't forget to bring your FRS radios (lil walkie-talkies) if you have them, it makes drives a lot easier to coordinate. And if you have some traffic cones, bring them too!

S in Snoqualmie (SPR CPR)

911ETR · Jan 15th, 2003, 05:47 AM

Nice Idea Dave... I will be at this one too.

IBMiniG · Jan 24th, 2003, 05:58 PM

Is Chuckanut on Jan. 25th still on? I heard there is construction, any alt plans?

motoring · Jan 24th, 2003, 07:20 PM

Chuckanut Drive reopens tonight

So that is the route. If something happens and it doesn't open there is an alternate route. See you there? Lynnwood 9:30

IBMiniG · Jan 27th, 2003, 06:07 PM

I was there but only had time for the rendezvous in the parking lot. what fun to see so many MINIs together, bet it was a blast to see the other drivers faces as so many MINIs went motoring by. Was cool to see some of the local tricked out ones too, the IB/B with stripes and yellow fogs was TOUGH! How was it, any pics?

BTW- my neighbors thought I was crazy , washing my MINI at 8:00am, he said , "you do know its going to rain, right"

Tim Meyer · Jan 28th, 2003, 02:21 AM

For those of us not yet with out Minis can someone share some specifics? How many Minis? How was the drive? My wife and I picked the Mini in part because of the fellowship of the owners. She comes in April...I am looking forward to meeting some of you in-person for a first drive! Levenworth? North Cascades Highway? A trip to Orcus Island? How many Minis can we get on a state ferry?

davehg · Jan 28th, 2003, 04:20 AM

Tim, Nice group of people, lots of ages and backgrounds. 28 cars approx, with lots of variety.

I am totally up for a Leavenworth cruise!!! March maybe??

motoring · Jan 28th, 2003, 04:22 AM

About 25 MINI's gathered at the McDonalds in South Everett. Lots of people stopped by to ask questions and take pictures (the IB/B MCS with the yellow lights belongs to Bryan "911ETR" ) We had quite a chain of MINI's heading up I-5 to Arlington then we cut over to Hwy 9 for a little more scenic and twisty drive north. We picked up five members of the Vancouver New Mini Owners Club along Hwy for a total of 30 MINI's. Unfortunately we lost a few folks in Burlington as we cut back over to hook up with the south end of Chuckanut Drive. We had a great run up the very narrow and twisty Chuckanut Drive, what a great road. We all gathered in the Fairhaven area of Bellingham for a great lunch at Bob's Burgers (a tavern, not a hamburger stand) Two great sponsors gave out door prizes. MINI-Madness gave out a cold air intake and CooperFlags gave out a bonnett stripe kit.

After lunch we all went our seperate ways (including a few more "spirited" runs down Chuckanut Drive)

Can't wait for the next event. Who wants to plan it?

Tim Meyer · Jan 29th, 2003, 04:29 AM

Thank you for the great summary of the Bellingham run! As a Western grad I can confirm Bob's is a great lunch spot! Although we don't take delivery until April it would be great to help plan a drive. Would anyone be interested in Whidbey Island / Deception Pass the second weekend in April?

IMAXMINI · Jan 29th, 2003, 04:57 AM

I love Bellingham & Chuckanut but, I'm sorry, I would have to decline Bob's Burgers for the next run. My wife won't set foot in there again after a horrible service experience. Besides, Stanello's is a stone's throw away with a much better parking lot: It's visible from the dining room and bar!

MCS hits Port Hueneme tomorrow!
Was anyone else booked on the mv Tricolor?

motoring · Jan 29th, 2003, 05:11 AM

Whidbey/Deception Pass is a great idea and fits right into the MG club's Tulip Rally on April 12th. The Rally starts in LaConner and tours around the area. It is a gimmick rally so no fancy equipment is required except a good set of eyes

(It sounds like at least a few Club MINI members will be attending the rally)

Tim Meyer · Jan 30th, 2003, 05:19 AM

April 12th it is! If all goes well that could be the first weekend with our Mini! As the date approaches we should come up with all details.

Logan5 · Jan 30th, 2003, 01:20 PM

That would be a great way to become one with your new car!!! I hope you can pick your MINI up before then, Tim!

I printed out the registration form and am planning to be at the tulip rally. It sounds like a blast.

TimR · Feb 13th, 2003, 06:13 PM

Hey, we have a MINI owner on the island who owns a winery, so if the tulip run does not work out we can set up a winery tour instead.

IBMiniG · Feb 21st, 2003, 02:57 PM

I'd like to meet the winery owner. I'm getting married on Whidbey this summer and we are trying to use local people. Maybe a little MINI networking....let me know, TIA

Oh and cant wait for the next drive
