Got Big Red all washed up and decided to head out for a drive. Pointed her North and just sped away. Drove Chuckanut up and back. What a wonderful drive and a fabulous way to spend the day!!! |

Looks like it! I had time to drive or wash but not both so drove. Was double checking the Spring Clean route so ended up at Griots in Tacoma. How was the traffic on Chuckanut?

Traffic wasn't bad at all (the occasional bicycle rider in the way was my only complaint) and there was plenty of room for me to pull Big Red into the lookout parking lots and take up more than my fair share of parking After all, I needed to take her picture a few times!
I was able to leave a "You've been spotted" card today too!! Probably more exciting for me than it should be...LOL
Being new here I'm unsure of what is going on and the in's and out's of everything...can you fill me in on the Spring Clean? |

Sure thing! Trying to make this more intuitive as time goes on but this will get you started:
On the Home Page, just under the banner, on the right, is Upcoming Events. That will list out everything in the near future with direct links to the thread talking about the event. Then, the calendar, we are trying to keep it as up to date as possible with everything being planned in 2013. That is here: http://www.psmini.org/PSMINIEventCalendar2013.pdf And then, we are making some changes to the events area which, we hope, will make it easier to find and plan events. Those changes are happing next week and are/were here. Hope that helps. |

Thanks!! I'd love to get out on a drive with someone other than just me, although, I am pretty good company if I do say so myself
I also added my grill badges this morning!! My grill doesn't have the vertical bars behind it so I had a bit of trouble trying to figure out how to get them on in a manner that would keep them in place. Keeping my fingers crossed. |

Wish I saw your post looking for a driving buddy earlier! I was also driving aimlessly around for the fun of it in a loaner Roadster

Bummer!!! Now that the weather is changing, for the better, I'll be out and about as much as possible. I generally only drive her in good weather; I bought my Mini September 7th of 2012 and it has less than 2K miles on it
I've been debating trading in my SUV for another Mini!! A hardtop so that I can be behind the wheel of a Mini more often!!

Wow, well she is kept in great shape then! I would be the same way, which was my main reasoning for getting a hard top.
I have decided I want a Roadster for a fun second car though. Maybe the 2014? |

BPC Dubs, a local VW crew, is doing a Chuckanut Cruise benefiting PAWS animal shelter soon. It's this weekend actually. Figured I'd throw it out here since we're on the subject.
Here's the link on vwvortex.com: http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?6003250-BPCDubs-Presents-»-Chuckanut-Cruise-benefiting-PAWS-May-11-2013 Note the who, what, when, where, why part ...

Julie, I'm with you on this one. Anything I can do for dogs. It's even better in a Mini. I have a boxer but love the French Bulldog. My mom has a English bulldog love that those breeds.
