Tar Heel MINIs Pisgah Covered Bridge Run
April 20th, 2009
I’d have to say this new event was a big success! We had a great turnout of about 20 or so MINIs and perfect weather. Big thanks to Jeff for the thorough planning for this event. I apparently stuck the wrong (dead) batteries in my 2-way radio, so I missed hearing the banter that I’m sure was going on on channel 20-20. If you want to get the full story, including accounts of sideways MINIs and carsick passengers, you’ll want to check out the last couple pages of the event’s forum thread.

Tar Heel MINIs Storm Ocracoke
April 14th, 2008
On the morning of April 12th, Courtney and I joined over 20 other MINIs for a great adventure to the Outer Banks of North Carolina. The Swan Quarter Ferry brought us to Ocracoke after a two and a half hour ride. After a quick lighthouse photo-op, and hotel check in, we had dinner at Howard’s Pub.
Tearing through the rough waters of the Pamlico Sound.
Sunday morning we all took off to the northern tip of Ocracoke to catch the ferry to Hatteras.
The Cape Hatteras Lighthouse was our next stop.
..and then the Bodie Island Lighthouse.
We then went to Big Al’s Soda Shop for some tasty treats (mmm chocolate cola.) From here we all said our goodbyes and made our way home at our own pace. Big thanks to Paul (BlimeyCabrio)for his precision planning of this event!
Tarheel MINIs Head For The Hills
October 15th, 2007
On October 13th, the Tarheel MINI Motoring Club could be found winding their way through the Blue Ridge Mountains. This video is of the MINIs pulling in to park at Mabry Mill. Check out that turnout! After spending some time at the mill, we headed to Rocky Knob for a picnic. Then it was down the twisty highway 8 towards Woolwine. Jealous?

The Vacucam
May 30th, 2007
I’ve had the Vacucam for a couple months now, but I’m still working on getting the best possible results from it. I’m using my laptop to record the video coming from it, which has both advantages and disadvantages. On the plus side, I can record upwards of 12 hours straight. If I were using a camcorder to record the video I’d be swapping tapes every hour. I recorded this video on a couple backroads near the house..
