Default "Cruise" recap....

I think it went well. We had a decent turnout, wouldve definitely liked to have had more. We left the Festival Center and headed towards 526 then headed back towards Charleston. Had a couple decent pulls (NEVER BREAKING THE SPEED LIMIT) by some extremely slow ass cars.

VERY interesting little somethin happened though.....after the initial "cruise", we all decided to head back to the old Sams club to meet up. While Bobby (mach killer) and a T/A were going from the light to cross Rivers into the Sams parking lot when a bike, obviously not paying attention, came rolling through the red light and laid him and his girlfriend down on the nice hard pavement dierectly in front of their two cars. The situation couldve been much worse if Bobby or the T/A wouldve been another second or so quicker through the light.......even MORE interesting is having one of the cops working the bike incident walk over and ask who drove the "MINI" and the T/A and AAAA mustang at 100+ on the Mark Clark....... DEFINITELY wasnt any of us for the record!

impossible, Mini's physically can not travel at those speeds. from what Ive been told, they simply explode after 65.

I know. Only run premium. I got good gas mileage last night. went about 20 miles and burned alittle over 1/8th of a tank. With a one quick spirited run involved.
