I know there are quite a few Mini owners (& soon owners to be) here in the Bay Area.
Anyone up for a casual meet & greet in San Francisco maybe in Sept. or October?

Hopefully the weather will be warm by then & some more of
us will have taken delivery of our Minis.

I was thinking of Golden Gate Park, Marina Green or
perhaps Mission Rock near Pac Bell Park?

I know you're out there! Please respond & feel free to
share your ideas.

Another good meeting place would the huge parking lot next to the parade field in the Presidio.

Should be getting my Dark Silver 'S' from East Bay MINI next week

Presido parking lot sounds good . I can call the Presido
& check out the particulars.

Any ideas on a day or date?

I'll be there, where ever it is.

Should plan other activities to go with it such as a rally or tour, maybe a small Mini size Auto-x.

What do you mean warm by then? I got sunburned at PacBell last Wednesday.

Anyway, count me in!

The little blue beast and I will be there...

I'm also game for helping to organize. Let me know if I can help.

OK folks here is the latest info.

I called the Presido & asked if we needed to
register or get permits etc. for the lot near the Parade ground.
Basically we need no permits if a bunch of us just show up, park our MINI's and chat.
However; the moment we put up signage,a table or do anything "organized" we need a permit.
Permit runs $260 plus $5 a parking space; YIKES!
Such is the nature of the Presido's bureaucracy.

So not to belabor this in the forum; but what are people's
thoughts? Is it cool to just meet at the Presido & take it
from there; or do something more organized (picnic, rally etc.) at another location?

Let me know your thoughts & I'll try to take it from
there.

mini_girl, Thanks for your kind offer. I would love some help!
We can send each other private messages & start working
on the details.

If anyone else out there wants to help please feel
free to respond to this thread or send me a private message.

Thanks,
David

I went to a BMW 2002 gathering in the Presidio and everyone (36 cars) just showed up. Nothing formal, everyone stood around for a couple hours chatting and checking out each others cars.

I suggest we do the same thing. If we tire of talking we can cross the GGB and take the coast road past Muir Beach, through Stinson and up to Point Reyes.

All we need to do is decide on a date and time to meet and then play it by ear.

minirossa · Jul 2nd, 2002, 11:11 PM

Miniac,
That sounds good to me! I just wanted some feedback
from people. I was thinking of doing Lucas Valley Road
to Nicasio; lots of curves. Rancho Nicasio Bar & Restaurant is a great place.
BBQ oysters on the deck!!

The fellow at the Presido pointed out that there is
a run the first weekend in October. Fleet week is
the second.
So, how about Saturday, October 19th?
