Can I get a show of hands as to who plans to cruise with the Oregon Mini Society!

Kirsten and I plan to be there. I think Lizz is running well enough to make the trip.

Update on the route we will have a quick stop at Fred Meyer's in Longview. This is just off HWY 4 and 32nd Ave. By stopping there we can regroup after any lights going through Longview.
From there we are continuing on the same route HWY 4 to Long Beach.

First off sorry for not taking pictures of the cars! We had fun! The drive was great as HWY 4 was just fun and pretty. When we stopped at Fred Meyes in Longview we picked up a Rally Mini (driven by Jeff with his wife Kristy). This car was "retired" from racing in Europe. Complete with sponsors and right hand driver.

The weather was perfect for the crowds, not too hot but warm enough to draw the people out. The Family and I had fun and made some hopefully made some friends in the Mini car community.
