Hello MINI Owners,

We would like to invite you to join us December 7, 2002 for the San Diego Scenic Drive Run. Participants will meet at 7:45-8:00 A.M. in front of the Sears parking lot at La Jolla Village Drive, corner of Executive Way, San Diego.

This is a good opportunity to see San Diego's scenic places, meet new friends, and have a fun day motoring.

The plan is to motor from the La Jolla coast to the ferry landing in Coronado. We will have lunch at the Bay Beach Cafe with a 10% discount for our group. The Bay Beach Cafe provides the most beautiful view of San Diego Bay, has access to the beach, shops and the boardwalk.

If you have questions regarding this event AND to make reservations to attend, contact jceviche@yahoo.com.

Visit http://www.baybeachcafe.com to check out the menu.

Let's Motor,
Clover (MINIclo) and John (jceviche)

Well, I'll stop by and say "hi" to you guys! I live right here in La Jolla... But Dont give me bad looks when I come up in my NON-MINI... Freaken Finals... I have to give up on two drives because of them!

AprilWhine · Dec 2nd, 2002, 05:53 AM

Showing up in a non-MINI has happened before. Mugami came to the last meet in his 4x4, because his MINI was hurt.

I am trying to organize a caravan down to the San Diego event from Orange County (right off the 5 and Redhill). If anybody is interested, please contact myself or Miniclo.
Caravaning is a great way to arrive at an event for the following reasons:

1. The scenery is always better when you are traveling with other Minis.

2 You never have to worry about arriving earlier than everybody else and standing around an empty parking lot trying to look cool.

3. Imagine how staggeringly great 5, 10 or 20 Minis will look traveling together. My God,the locals will think that highly intellegent life has invaded from beyond the stars!

4. Other people can take pictures of your car in motion and give you a copy!

5. You will be traveling with friends in case your trusty Lucas electrics decide to take a dump. Oh...wait, that was the old cars... never mind.

Anyway... I hope we can get some folks together to make the trip more interesting.

Cheers,
Eric

notpaddyhopkirk · Dec 3rd, 2002, 02:48 AM

Okay... we have rethought the meeting place a little bit. We will be meeting at the Carls Jr at the 5 fwy and Lake Forest. It is straight ahead off the off ramp if you are heading south. Lake Forest is after the 405 joins the 5 so you can take either fwy and get their without going out of your way.
We will group up at 6:30am, then depart for San Diego.

Come on... waddya going to do, sleep in all day?
Lets Motor!

Eric

Afraid I'm going to just miss this one. Sherman is whole again and currently running through diagnostics. Should he check out 'ok' with the AutoDoc, he'll be home again next week. I look forward to future drives. There are a myriad of twisties just out of Orange County...

Had a great time at the San Diego Senic Run. All in all I believe we had about 24 cars, and we tooled around San Diego and La Jolla from the beaches to the hills. Weather was wonderfull if a bit chilly in the early hours (sorry east coasters, here that means a sweater or windbreaker!). Thanks to John (jceviche) for organizing this very well run tour.

EBMCS03 · Dec 7th, 2002, 07:04 PM

Ya WOW that was such a sight. I met up with you guys at the starting point and was amazed on the amount of MINIs there!!! Too bad I didnt go with you guys on the drive. I definetly missed out, DOH!

Ches: It was nice talking to you today. We'll meet again!

Cant wait for my MINI!

Vanwall · Dec 7th, 2002, 08:29 PM

It was fantastic, 24 or so MINIs, a great drive, a great luncheon, and great friends. Gotta do this again, soon. Thanks to Jceviche & MiniClo for ramrodding this herd! The weather was great, and the sun was shining! I'll post pics soon! Nice to see everyone, including Rick, Dave, & Luis from the first SD Mini Lunch a few months ago! Nice to finally meet MiniG, we've been talking on the Boards for months. Long distance award goes to the lads from Central California!! Bye for now...

BCNU,
Rob in Dago

Mike & Donna in Ca. · Dec 7th, 2002, 10:58 PM

Thanks for the pics notpaddyhopkirk! I'm hoping we will be out there next year so we can attend an event

Now I am even more homesick - I've spent a lot of money at that mall

Looks like it was a beautiful day - nice, sunny, jacket weather. It was a balmy 7 degrees this morning here

See ya next year!

erazo · Dec 8th, 2002, 12:01 AM

Thanks John, for setting this up. We enjoyed the company of the other MINIs and their owners, and your route was fantastic. Here are some more photos.

notpaddyhopkirk · Dec 8th, 2002, 01:19 AM
