Drive-in Drive 09/12

WRAPUP: We had a small crowd of 5 cars, but a great drive on some really fun roads.  The leader got us lost a couple times (me), but we got back on track without too much drama.  Afterwards, we had a nice dinner with MINI friends.  The drive-in movie was not to anyone’s taste, so we bagged those plans for the night.
