Thank you Martin for putting this together. 

It was nice to get on the road today and the weather couldn't have been more perfect.

I enjoyed seeing everybody and look forward to another spectacular MINI motoring season with friends.

Great day for an invigorating drive on some very scenic back roads - about 2 million people with similar ideas all seemed to wind up in Woodinville about the same time we did.  Drive was great - Texas BBQ was great - company was superb!  Thanks Martin for rescuing us from the winter blahs.

Great day for a drive and great turnout. Had a few extra last minute show-ups to add to the count and it sounded like all had a good time. Total count for the drive was 10 MINIs + we had DigJazz joins us for coffee and tire talk at Krispy Kreme in the morning. Oh, and for the first time I can remember, BRG outnumbered all othe colors for the first time! LOL. Also spotted Carmen parked along the road in Duvall with a nice message scrawled on the back window! Nice! Thanks everyone for turning out and kicking off the driving season on a perfect day!

Had a great time today, I'm glad I was able to make it over there before the group left.  I can't wait to see everybody again at the Tulip Ralley.

This was a perfect Spring day for a drive, and the company and the roads combined with the weather to make for a great kick-off for the drive season.  Thanks Martin for putting this together.  Can't wait for the next one.  It sure is good to see those Curving Road Ahead-3 miles  warning signs.

(technically it was Carnation Wink, just outside our new KC Library)  'fun to read everyone's observations about the Eastside.  Having commuted along every conceivable route over the past 15 years out here, I'm sure Martin had to have taken you along some of the best.  

Dropping off CARMEN so she could say Hi! was the best we could do with the time we had available.

PS - She got a bath later on during the afternoon, after I biked back and picked her up.  (Not that you'd be able to tell the difference this morning, after the run to work in the rain). Unhappy

That was so cool seeing Carmen with the message on the back window when we went past!  You certainly were with us in spirit!  Perfect day for run and nice to shake things out.  I'm not sure Lucy enjoyed the twisties as much as we did though!
