Thanks very much to Ed and Brad you guys along with ALL the other people we rode with last time are the reason we are coming back , but we reall want to see how Mike is going to look anymore hippy than he does now !!!!

WHAT???? I thought the Aussies were just sending the trophy back.... but you guys are coming back for another round of the best Mini event/drives in North America??? That in itself should be a clue to those on the fence about coming to a CMU event (assuming they like to drive their Mini) that people come back from the other side of the world!

So the big question.... what does a Aussie Hippie look like??? Please note I tested out the boomerang and 6 months later it still hasn't come back. I think the warrenty information was on the back of it, well played.

Thanks Willie for the silent auction support. That also shows how people are dedicated to this event!

Welcome back to the mountains. My water pump and the rest of the car is ready to go. You are both welcome to drive if you feel inclined to.

  It will be great seeing you too. You must share the driving this year, but remember we drive on the wrong side of the road.

Hi Ed , looking forward to seeing you again and everyone else from last time . Grant And Loray

   This should be a Bucket List item for all classic Mini folk. Moutain driving mild to wild, nice people and memories for a life time.

Made my reservations, Ready to go!

With CMU - its not all about where you have  it- but what everyone can do WHILE at an event... Like DRIVE super awesome fun roads! 

CMU motto -- Drive your mini.. In my back yard  so i cant complain- cant wait 4th event going.. Best mini bang for the buck possible.  lan on MANY HOURS seat time ENJOYING your mini.

YAY! 

the best place to hold that event is in Solvang ( google it)

Trevor T Trophy has booked a cabin and his airfare .

For those that follow Project Binky I have two tea mugs for the silent auction.

The CMU website will be updated by the end of the weekend and all CMU members will receive an email notifying them.

Confirmed hotel yesterday:

Great Smokies Inn
This is the most affordable, nicest, and closest hotel to the KOA. We are calling this the alternate hotel because so many will be able to stay at the KOA. They are giving us a good rate of $63.80 (Same as the Mini 53!), that includes the 10% tax. Call 828-497-2020 to make your reservations. Mention Classic Minis United to get the discounted rate. Don't wait for the tourists to fill the rooms up and do it before April 1st before the prices go up. Note that the event is over Saturday night, so, you'll probably want to check out on Sunday the 19th. Also note, all of the drives will be leaving from the KOA and the night events will be at the KOA as well.

Which hotels are you guys booking at? I tried the Newfound Lodge and they can't go into the year 2015 yet.

Reminds me how hard it was to drive a Mini in the 70's with platform shoes - remember them ????

The Kamping Kabin is booked, now just have to find those old bell bottoms

Brad, you are the poster child for what CMU is all about... members love what we do and they support it! Thanks!

Mitch, your birthday is the same day as the official Hippie Day and big party. I get the feeling there will be beers from around the country there to celebrate it.

The response on Facebook is great and the shirts look to be in demand around the world! The CMU FB page is https://www.facebook.com/pages/Classic-Minis-United/119254944784654.

Come home Trev....

Spread the word!

Hey! My birthday is the 17th! What a great B-day present to me; hitting the curvy roads of NC! I'm so there!

Well hopefully I can get the mini built and back on the road by then.
