HRCM 11th Annual Fall Colors Run 2014
Tar Heel MINI Blue Ridge Parkway Run 2014
MINI Club of Southwest VA Fall Motoring Rally 2013
This
time I had anticipated that our "Fearless Leader" was going
to take us thru West Virginia again, I was clearly off
base. We wandered thru the Shenandoah
Valley for the 2014 Hampton Roads Club MINI run.
As per usual, it was a wonderful weekend wandering through
Southwest VA, and I thank Dale for setting up the run, and
Chrissy for taking pics and video.
Also,
check out this this link for J. Adam Sowers
photography. He follows us around and takes KILLER
pics. My thanks to him for the photo at the covered
bridge that I used for the FCR photo/video page I
setup:
So
Chrissy and I decided it was time to go on another MINI run.
I wanted to go to MINI's on Top 2014 but alas, the planets
didn't align again (we missed The Dragon also) so we decided
to stay somewhat local and went on the Blue Ridge Parkway
Tour with Tar Heel
MINI based out of North Carolina and we we did about
90% of the run, missing out on the Skyline Run and the very
end of the BRP, but we had a wonderful weekend seeing old,
and making new MINI friends; And got some of them to hang
their arms out the windows and yell "WHEEEE" like Chrissy
does!
Blue Ridge
Parkway Tour 2014
I
found a new group of MINI peeps, and they were having a run
to the Swinging
Bridge. As I had been there before with HRMINI back in
2011.
I thought I'd see what it's like without the snow, and with
a new group: The
MINI Club of Southwest VA*. Had a good time with good
MINI folk &
finding twisty roads with some GREAT scenery.
As per usual, thanks to my co-pilot Chrissy for some great
photos!
