TGICR Recap

I just recieved something in my email that I had to share with all of you. It's The Creative Coast's wonderful recap of The Great Ice Cream Run. Make sure to watch the video. You just might spot your car!

Once again, to recap for Sunday, we are going to St. Simon's Island. We are meeting at Starbucks at 10am, and plan to arrive on St. Simon's by 12 for lunch at the Sandcastle Cafe & Grill. We will be taking Hwy 17 south, instead of I-95. Hope to see you there!

July monthly motoring

Well with July 1st coming up this weekend, I just wanted to let everyone know that we continue to go south as planned. However, instead of going to Jekyll Island we will be going to St. Simons and having lunch at the Sandcastle Cafe & Grill on Mallery Street. St Simons is having a festival that weekend. So all of us MINIs should just add to the fun! More info on the festival here (at bottom of page).

We will gather at the Starbucks in the 12 Oaks Shopping Center at 10 a.m. as usual. We hope to see you there. The more the merrier!

TGICR and July Monthly Motoring

First off, I just want to give a long overdue thank you to everyone that helped out and participated in Savannah’s portion of The Great Ice Cream Run. The event was a huge success with a total of 42 MINIs!!!!! Our parade down I-95 and through downtown went smoothly, and a massive amount of ice cream was consumed by all. This wouldn’t have been possible without the marvelous effort from Leopold’s Ice Cream, The Creative Coast, Sunshine MINIs, MINI of Charleston, and of course Murray Wilson and the Coastal MINIs. Thanks SO MUCH!!!!!!!

If you want to see how the rest of The Great Ice Cream Run went, or photos of the Savannah portion, check out Ian's GB MINI blog, Murmini.com, or The Great Ice Cream Run website. If you have pictures of your own that you want to share, please comment with a link to your gallery.

The Great Ice Cream Run generated a lot of interest in our local Monthly Motoring events. If you had fun at there, come join us on the first Sunday of each month for some MINI motoring fun. Next month we will be meeting at the usual time and place on Sunday July 1^st. We are planning on going south for a Run to Jekyll Island. The routes, schedule and restaurant for lunch will be posted soon, so stay tuned. I hope you can join us!

Cheers and Happy Motoring!
