I realize that unless you've been living under a rock, or are not a member of CMU, you know about this event and have already made up your mind as to whether you are going or not, but,,,,  there are a lot of new names/faces on the forum , which may not know so,, if you REALLY want to drive your Mini with 70 +/- other Minis, thru twisty mountain roads, for 3 days with nice new or old friends, you need to check this event out. 

Plenty of time, April 18-21, 2018

Maria is flying in, renting a car  and meeting me there! (As long as I don't stay in the primitive Kampin Kabin, !)

Seems like a long way off and a long time between events, did get to spend some time with a few mid-FL Mini friends this past weekend in Marathon.  I wonder how Joe M is doing with the keys run idea?
