Tom, it's good to see you here on the 986forum! Posting that pic of your car on the side of a mountain in a heap should really give us all pause to consider how greatful we should be!

For the rest of you, let me repeat my little spinned Talladega Nights prayer as we went driving, "Dear Baby Jesus, I'd like to thank you for pavement and the man who invented pavement and ..."

I had never heard of this until joining the forum. Is there a time of year (worth it weather wise) to go when there are not a gazillion idiots racing this thing?

Some friends and myself just want to go, enjoy the roads take pics, not like the mini forum stuff.

SC986, I tell ya, we were there on a very busy weekend with almost 500 mini's. It rained all day on Saturday. And I still had the time-of-my-life! So, I say go anytime that you can.

The place we stayed was great too- The Two Wheel Inn. Very clean and the owners (Linda & Barry) live on-site. They are building a new unit for people with cars, that will have their own private garage space per room.

speaking of good photos...

Got the new issue of Motorcyclist today....there's a big spread on Killboy pics of bikes crashing on the Tail. Ouch. I've been telling everyone that I know I can do that road faster in my Box than on my 10R...I'm almost afraid to try it on the bike!

Here is a picture of a few of the Mini drivers that we met during the TOD. They drive little cars...but they are huge drinkers!!

Zee Photo had a couple of shots of me on the dragon with my nice, shiny and clean boxster (none of the other drivers in our bunch got up early to wash cars like I did)...

Don't forget the "do these diffusers make my butt look big?" or "I have my mother's (or was it grandmother's?) hips"...
