Savannah with Coastal MINIs

It might be a little crazy, but the urge to have a MINI meet was too strong, so we drove 300 miles to meet up with (as it turned out) a small gathering of five other MINIs, in Savannah, GA – the first Coastal MINIs monthly meet of 2009.

We drove up yesterday, and met Murray and his wife Kathy for dinner – very excellent indian food (maybe the best we’ve had outside of England!); then this morning we headed over to a local Starbucks, where everyone met up …

After catching up with old friends, including Stephanie, and getting to know new folks (including Jay who just completed an 800 mile drive down from New Jersey!), we had a gentle 15 mile drive to Tybee Island, which offered a desolate beach view!

 

Afterwards, a fabulous lunch nearby … I ordered an incredible “Bear Burger”:

 

Then, sadly, it was time to drive the 300 miles back to Kissimmee … great trip, great friends, great city! For more pics of Savannah, head over to MargaretAndIan

There she is!

Flew south late last night, for a spot of warmer weather … and maybe a bit of GP driving 😉
She’s been waiting patiently for six weeks!

(I just won’t mention the fact that her keys didn’t fly down with us!)

UPDATE:
Now, thanks to Pat, the US Post Office, and Brian, I have GPMINI’s key and just enjoyed an hours drive to nowhere 🙂
