Mark you just sent me down memory lane, b/c I had to recount them to decide on my favorite. Let's take a walk down memory lane, not since the club's inception, but since I joined just a year ago...

Tour De Tanglewood was fun, and rewarding and the Red Bulls were great!

The Concourse De Graylen was a blast, too.

The Mabry Mill run was just beautiful...

Hanging out at Dan's shop is always a good time

Gathering a Flow MINI for a nice breakfast and little jaunt is outstanding.

The mod day at Magoo's was Southern Hospitality at its best...

The track day at CMP with our late friend Rob/Bullfrog is one I'll never forget!

Getting on the track at VIR with our BMW brethren was no slouch either...

Working the MS Walk with our friend Lynn was a lot fun, too!

The British car day at a winery, with a member's Triumph in attendance was great.

The Walter Mitty trip with a few members and a lot of vintage Minis was fun...

But the best memory of all, was seeing our founder Mark rewarded for making all this possible!

Thanks to you, Mark, for making this club possible and opening the possibilities for all of us to have a good time together!

Fantastic, Dave - thanks for posting these :cool:

[minimark]

Well done! Very well done Dave!:D The leasure drive we took around Hanging Rock was fun too!;)

[simplygriff]

Nice recap Dave! Favorite here has got to be coming home from Dragon this past year and we're running 3 Mini's wide down Black Mountain, stereo pumping, Nulli hanging out the window snapping pictures. That was amazing!

Oh and karaoke night. :D

I'd like to welcome Damon Corbin and his wife Lori to the club as our 600th member!

[minimark]

WOOT, WOOT!:D

[localdrummerweb]

I hate I missed those..guess ill have to make the future ones : )

[KillerKar]

My favorite HAS to be the '06 Graylyn tour, when Killer wasn't here yet & Ed Simmons (bless him!) surprised me at work with an E-mail the Friday before the event saying, "I got you a car!" A Hyper Blue Cooper "S" was loaned to me by Flow MINI for the MINI rally leading to Graylyn. I was just blown away by their generosity - Gary and I were fully prepared to take The Pod (as his '06 Honda Civic is known) with a sign hanging out the window saying, "MINI in training" or "It's coming, dammit!"

But Ed made it possible for me to do the rally in a REAL MINI until my beloved Killer arrived from distant shores. I'll always remember that kindness and what a BLAST I had driving out of the dealership parking lot seeing ALL those police cars and the STOPPED traffic! Hee hee!

Laura :D

[Chuffed2Bits]

I honestly don't have a favorite one. I have enjoyed every time I have been together with the club....we're an awesome group of people! I think if I had to pick ONE, I would have to say (since I didn't make the Dragon) that I had a really good time bowling! LOL Even though I totally SUCKED, it was fun competing with Dave as to who was the worse bowler and that I was going to practice and I was going to beat him next time!

[TWISTER]

We have a bowling event cooming up soon in RTP and Winston

[MidnightDave]

You're in luck, Lyn, I'm going to be at an auto-X at BMW in SC, so you can break 50 without me nipping at your heels! ;-)

Everybody local, you should come out, it's a great time, even if, like me, you don't bowl!
