Mike, I was figuring we'd have to meet around 7:00 to get there by 9:30. No? If it were just me and my Valentine One we might do it really quickly, but with a 4 car convoy --- we might be asking for a series of tickets.

Or maybe I have the time wrong? I thought we were to meet at 9:30 at Sterling, meet people & cars etc, then drive at 10:00.

S2000&CooperS · Nov 8th, 2002, 08:16 AM

You're right Chip! I thought we were meeting at 10:00, then leaving at 10:30

Mike & Donna in Ca. · Nov 8th, 2002, 08:47 AM

Meeting at 9:30 - leaving at 10:00

Beau · Nov 8th, 2002, 08:50 AM

Mike, Sherry, LuckyRVA ...
maybe it would be better, especially for Sherry, to meet in Ashland. That would cut 45 minutes if not more off of AprilWhine's drive.
There is that Cracker Barrel right at I-95 & Hwy 54 .....

S2000&CooperS · Nov 8th, 2002, 09:01 AM

That would be fine with me

Beau · Nov 8th, 2002, 09:03 AM

What time would we need to leave Ashland to be there at 9:30?

S2000&CooperS · Nov 8th, 2002, 09:05 AM

No later than 8..........more like 7:45

OK, so 7:45 at the Cracker Barrell in Ashland?

We'll be there!

S2000&CooperS · Nov 8th, 2002, 11:08 AM

Works for me! I'm going to try and wash the car tonight - it's pretty nasty from all the rain

The Cracker Barrel is located at Rt. 54 & Rt.1 - this is exit 92 off I-95 in Ashland - correct?

I just want to be sure as AprilWhine can have some idea where we'll be

Yeah I'm pretty sure that's the exit.

I agree -- that's the exit. The Cracker Barrel is on the west side of 95. Have either of you heard from AprilWhine?

Chip

LuckyRVA · Nov 8th, 2002, 03:49 PM

No, sure haven't.

AprilWhine · Nov 8th, 2002, 06:22 PM

Cracker Barrel at exit 92, great idea. Thanks for being so considerate guys! Leave no later than 7:45.

I'm going to print out the directions to Sterling, just in case no one knows the way. Chip, I'm glad to see you are packing EW. (electronic warfare) But remember the Southern Caravan to Eurofest, well equipped with the latest EW and still ticketed.

I'll be bringing some extra radios if anyone needs one.

LuckyRVA · Nov 9th, 2002, 06:24 AM

Ahh I can't believe I'm up this early on a Saturday(and it's not for work)

Anyway, not sure if you'll see this or not before we leave but I could use a radio, if you have a spare!

See ya there.

Redpanda · Nov 10th, 2002, 10:36 AM

That drive was way fun! And so nice to get to see everybody again and hang out. Thanks again for planning it Mike and Donna!

AprilWhine · Nov 10th, 2002, 10:49 AM

Well planned and carefully thought out drives are my favorites! It was a perfect day, from having breakfast ready at the English Pantry for our arrival, to a splendid autumn day for a drive, to a reserved private room at the restaurant.

Thanks for all your hard work to make this happen. My hat's off to you!

missmyvtec,lvemymini · Nov 10th, 2002, 11:41 AM

Hey everyone...I just wanted to say thanks again to Mike and Donna...that drive was so fun and it was great to meet everyone. I do have some bad news...I got home after the drive and then a couple hours later I went out to my car and had two flat tires, both on the right side. I don't know what happend

I took them to NTB and they said they couldn't fix them because they were fun flat tires. Has anyone else had this problem...and were yours able to be fixed.
Thanks,
Jen

Redpanda · Nov 10th, 2002, 12:02 PM

I got a wood screw in one of my run flats a couple months ago. Wasn't able to be fixed because it had punctured to close to the tread. Only place I could find to buy a new run flat was the MINI dealer.

LuckyRVA · Nov 10th, 2002, 02:29 PM

If anyone who brought a camera, you should post some pics of the drive. I forgot my camera so I couldn't take any pics. Cheers
