Spring Drive Wrapup
Sections: Uncategorized Mar 26th, 2006
Over 30 cars showed up at the start of the Spring Drive Poker run. We wandered around a bunch of fun roads in the northwest suburbs and eventually made our way up to Lake Geneva.
At each stop, drivers were presented with a poker card and directions to the next location. We managed to make the entire drive without anyone getting lost (by very much).
Poker hand winners Rich and Conrad won a MINI model car donated by Historic Race Car and a MINI Zymol detailing kit from Detailing Concepts.
After a nice lunch, a handful of us took a couple loops up and down Snake Road. A good time was had by all.

Steve and Lori - Many thanks for your having made this a reality!
My movie is up already. You can see it here: http://www.taylorsmith.biz/Movie_Files/SpringDrive2006.wmv
Apologies for the quality this time. The camera mounting location was bad and I had to cut down the size because it's over 10 megs.
Nonetheless, I think everyone will enjoy it since almost everyone will be able to see their car.
Enjoy!!
Dragon here we come…

I had a great time at the Spring Drive. Thanks for having me. I do have about a 10 meg .ZIP file of pictures that my brother and I took. They are 800×600 resolution. If you are interested in a better resolution picture let me know. Here is the link:

Karen and I had a great time and enjoyed meeting so many new Mini owners. Lori and Steve did a great job on the mapping. Having res at Popeyes was even better.
See You all real soon, Dustin

What a great time! Thanks much Lori and Steve for putting this together! My coworker that showed up at the Dog & Suds was quite impressed with the MINI variety and especially at how we managed to funnel outta the parking lot without an incident! A fun time from beginning to end!

[…] We will be planning a meetup and short drive in before the Zoo opens. Due to the location, the drive will not be quite as involved or as exciting as our last drive. […]
