Charlie done it last year - read his report - there's lots of ice cream and silly driving antics!

there's lots of ice cream and silly driving antics!

i like ice cream!!!

iv read some of the pages!! seems like fun!

yea i want to be a teacher, for some unknown reason!! lol!

either a drama teacher or a primary school teacher! jus cant decide between ickle kids or big kids! im thinkin ickle kids at the mo tho....but then that might jus be because my last teaching practice was in a year 2 class n they were all sooo cute! lol

[CharlieBrown]

There should be loads of pictures in my report but they wont be there till the site gets redone. (There were so many pics! )


The italian Ice cream was the best ive ever had, yummo. I want some now


As for the teaching, little kids are easier to control, big kids these days have no respect. (I sound old).

Mind you my Dad teaches big kids and he loves his job! :smartass:

[minipixie]

yea my mum and dad teach big kids.....dad likes it....mum doesnt! (and before u ask im not going into teaching jus cus they teach :tongue: so many people ask me that!!!)

but yea i think i prefer lil kids! they are easier to control!! and ur right, big kids have no respect nowa days! mind u im only 19! like to think that a do have some respect for others tho!

How many miles did you do on it?

[batgirlwildcat]

I'd like to do IJ again, but have no idea when. Charlie is right - Italian ice cream is wonderful!

If you'd like to read about my IJ experience, check out my column (Sporty Shorty's Short Spot) at this website: http://www.rose-hulm.....B/Plan B.html

I'm only about halfway through telling my tales, but there should be more up soon. You can see my photos here: http://www.imagestat...l?id=2253640093

Hey Batgirl, nice to hear from you again!!!!

How you doing??

:grin:

[batgirlwildcat]

Nice to know someone missed me! :wink:

Personally, I've been too busy lately to peruse the forum, but now, not so much.

Mini-wise, there's good news and bad news...

Bad: my bro totaled his Cooper S the week before we went to AMVIV2 (A MINI Vacation In Vegas II), and he had just installed some awesome graphics. Good: he got nary a scratch on him, and should take delivery of his new Cooper S at the end of the month, just in time for the Tail of the Dragon run.

Bad: the guy we bought the pick-up from to do IJ sold it out from under us, so it won't be coming to the States for a nice restoration. Good: he's giving us back our money, which (combined with selling my Jeep) will go toward buying ME a Cooper S! :cool:

[CharlieBrown]

I was sorry to hear about Luigi and Homer but at least Matt is ok!!



Your getting a Cooper S!

Thats great J.

Now I will definately have to come over and visit, and have a go driving, please!

Of course I'll let you take her for a spin!

We'll still work on owning a Classic some day, but right now this is more practical, and I'll be able to get involved with MINI events. Our parents have an MG and are invloved with the MG and British Car Clubs of San Diego. Many of their fellow club members also have Minis (Classics and Coopers), so I should fit right in!

[CharlieBrown]

Ha ha ha ha, Yes! :grin:

(Where's my passport....)






Jackman: We did just short of 3000 miles in two weeks.

[centralminiTC]

Fortunately both the stories ended up on the good side!!!

Hope you manage to get your cooper S and have great fun!!! :grin:
