Mini Rally, NC 11.17.02

Flow are having a "Mini Cooper Rally" on November 17th. I only have a date right now, no details. Lee Davis (Corporate Sales Director) at Flow is the contact - 336-788-3333 (Flow's number).

Even if your Mini is not from Flow, I'm sure you can attend. Please reply here if you are interested in attending and/or want to convoy up there.

I'm up for that. Sounds like fun!

For those who don't know where Flow MINI is - they are on the Southwest side of Winston-Salem, North Carolina, just off Interstate 40 on Peters Creek Pkwy.

I would assume the route will be a mix of Piedmont roads and Mountain roads .. after all, the fun is in the mountains!

Still don't know the type of rally it's going to be - time/distance, fun drive, hi-speed drive, etc. I need to call Flow tomorrow anyway (license plate came in), and I'll see if I can talk to Lee Davis (rally coordinator) about it.

Smokey 4

I meet an M Roadster owner from Charlotte at Euro who is getting a MCS from Flow. He sent me an email letting me know of the NOV. 17Th Mini Rally at Flow. He copied Lee Davis at Flow and asked if it was open to all MINI owners. Lee Davis responded by email to me that all MINI owners would be welcome and hoped that I would attend. He said invitations would be going out this week. I am planning on going, what ever it is it should be fun. Hope to see you there.

Understand that it starts in WS

So I don't think I'll head that way to turn around and drive back towards Asheville, but I'd love to join in on the fun as y'all pass through.

Another thread I know but, mininc have you heard anything from Century about the Open House? Time, events, etc?

Thanks Markie

This sounds Great... Should be a good turnout. It's nice of Flow to include all MINIs. I will let Lee know by email that I will be participating.

I checked out the Winery and it is in Floyd VA near Radford. That would put me near I81 and then I77 for return to Charlotte. It will be a full day with the MINIs, let's hope the weather will be Carolina blue skies.

Looking forward to meeting you and others from RTP area.

Thanks again

They like Black Labs, so they've got to be good people!

I couldn't find any buddies who were free that weekend, so I've got a seat open. If you're a future Flow customer and a non-smoker, tell Lee to pair you up with me.

Convoy to Flow

For those attending the Mini Rally (and please RSVP Lee if you are!) how about a Mini convoy up to Flow. For a starting suggestion, I'd like to suggest meeting at the Morrisville Outlet Mall car park at 8:00am. Comments? Replies?

>>Yawn<<
Thash too early!


Sounds fine to me. The brunch is from 10 to 11, so that'll put us there fashionably late.

So... depart at 8am?
