Posted by MiniTiger on MCO (nam):

So, about a lunch and drive on Saturday April 3rd. We can get together and see whose going to Tail of the Dragon and discuss a mini-rally on the way over to the Dragon. Last year, for Tail of the Dragon, Bill Koff and MiniShuttle and I took a great drive on the way to Fontana area from Boone, NC.

MiniShuttle (presently relocated to CO) and I had found an hour long loop or so in southwest Wake into Chatham/Orange county we could drive. It's not mountainous, but there are some winding roads and you can take a photo of your car in front of "Cooper's Barber Shop"

Suggest meeting at Spark's in Apex Peakway Plaza (Hwy 55 and Olive Chapel Road)

10:00am Meet
10:15 drive (Stops at Jordan Lake Dam, Bynum
12:00pm Return to Spark's for lunch and discuss May trip Tail of Dragon

Thanks for posting the info on MINI2. I am looking forward to attending. I hope we pick up a few more MINIs.

If any MINIs from Charlotte area are going please let me know and we will ride up together.

I'd like to see a few more adding in myself. Not too long ago there were some folks in the area wanting to do something like this. Hope they catch the announcements.

Sign me up. Took delivery of my MCS last weekend and am halfway through the break-in. Would love to motor with other Miniacs... haven't seen too many out here.
I'm also interested in the Dragon, a caravan out there sounds cool.

Welcome to MINI2.

Glad to have you on the April 3rd drive.

Count me in. I live in Morrisville and cut through Chatham to go to the Streets of Southpoint and I know there are plenty of curvy and hilly areas around there.

Hi Lee,

We'll have to follow your lead on way back to Apex from northwest of Jordan Lake area.

Follow link to proposed route.

The route would start in Apex and go clockwise.

It looks like we got nice small group going so far

I'll try and make it. It's been a while since I've seen my fellow MINI owners.

MiniTiger · Apr 1st, 2004, 05:53 PM

bump the thread... See you all on Saturday @ 10:00am :-))

I drove the route last week-end and have some minor changes. A few roads were in bad shape.

Lee L · Apr 2nd, 2004, 05:53 PM

Man, this sucks, something came up and I have to beg off this weekend. Hopefully we can do this more often and I can catch another ride soon.

moorlockx · Apr 2nd, 2004, 09:56 PM

That does suck, Lee. We'll miss you tomorrow.

Maybe next time.

moorlockx · Apr 3rd, 2004, 07:51 PM

Good drive, great weather, really fun time...........what more could you ask for!!

Thanks MiniTiger for putting this together. It was agreat way to end the winter drought.

MiniTiger · Apr 3rd, 2004, 09:54 PM

Thanks to all that attended and special thanks to George (mininc) and his son Austin who drove in from Charlotte.

We had a beautiful day for a drive. No incidents, but the local bicyclers added a new element to the twisy Bynum Ridge Road. Good thing MINI's stay in their lanes.

Thanks to Austin for keeping the MINIs shiney and clean at every stop.

See ya'll over the next few weeks of MINI events
