Volo Museum Drive 4/14

WRAPUP:

 About 20 MINIs showed up for a relaxed drive around some fun twisty roads.  One road closure forced a bit of backtracking and wrong turn-taking.  The museum was huge, with lots of really neat cars and antiques to check out.

Sounds good, but be sure and test drive the route, Lake County is full of orange cones.

Hmmm, I MAY go! It will be my first CMMC meet (even though i’m not a member…yet.)!

I was just at the auto museum about a month ago…they have a pretty neat set up, and they DO have the car from the Cat in the Hat! If that doesn’t make you want to go, I don’t know what will…

I’m like Mare. I’m not yet a member and this would be my first event and it sounds really fun! I’m swamped with audit work (ugh) but I’m really trying to go. I’ll be the 06 MCS HB w/B. Hope to see you there!

Steve Apr 13th, 2007 Link

I’m like Mare. I’m not yet a member and this would be my first event and it sounds really fun!

Marco Apr 14th, 2007 Link

I might make a surprise entrance.

Dustin Apr 16th, 2007 Link

Hey Steve, great drive, not an easy area to find good roads on a Sat afternoon, but you did. We had a blast and yep the back of the pack is more fun. Even more so with Marco.

Rose Apr 16th, 2007 Link

GREAT JOB STEVE! Much more fun when the unexpected happens. Thanks for another MINI fun day.

Cathie Apr 16th, 2007 Link

Just a note to say thanks to everyone for the warm reception on my first outing! It was a really fun MINI day!

Steve Apr 16th, 2007 Link

You have found the secret spot.. The back is where you need to drive the fastest to keep up.

Marco Apr 18th, 2007 Link
