Yeah I get that all the time... They like to take pictures of me getting out and in the car. They can't figure out how a 6' tall person gets into a car that comes up to their elbow...

Hey Ola, great photo,,, great "sneak attack"!!! Am I missing something but I don't recognize the other 2 in that shot?? Now I would assume that one of them is UHOH,,,it is harder to locate her in this shot but I am thinking she is the one closest to the MINI???

And TNmm,,,,,, I'LL GET YOU~~~~ MY PRETTY!!!! ** insert maniacal, stinky laughter***
You were soooo wise to run away!!

Hey Freebs, we are off for a little adventure-- a 3 day weekend in Cape May N.J. We are supposed to have internet access,, so maybe,, just maybe I can peek in a say heeeelloooooooo

Weeeee're faMOUS????? Welcome to the dark and crazy side "Ditch Diva" (although I also lovingly referred to you as the "Ditch MASTER" in one of our videos! ). BTW- we're still patiently waiting for the FREE Mini thing to work out. Please have some... .

ROFL. Yeah. 6' and still fit in a classic. Speaking of classic....BB is broken. Her brakes are going out....again (3rd time). Was going to take her to a Mini show tomorrow but I don't want to risk the brakes completely going out on the way to the show. No parade next weekend either.

When "the brakes go out" what does that mean exactly? Probably brake LINEs?

SO... ummm... MINIxB... of course you are a part of our beloved "Freebie" group... but I have realized that we've never ever seen a pic of YOU! You've seen pics of us and our high school hair and even more recent pics of ourselves... but I only know you as a headlight on a cool Classic! We've seen Big Norm in his Classic (quite a stunner with his size) ... so why haven't we seen YOU? And now you say that you are 6 feet tall and that people all stand around at car shows and take pics of you with your tiny Classic? Guess what babe, it's YOUR turn now! For real! It's not fair for you to tell us all about your cool car shows and how much of a show stopper you are and then not post any pics of this! Surely there must be some pics of you with your Mini surrounded by all the little people.

Better start posting pics! YOU with the car!

Everybody with me on this??? PICS-PICS-PICS!!!!!!

Ola!! In regards to the Sarasota trip to conitinue my training,, I was really sad about it also,, and our plans really fell trhough for that holiday weekend anyways, so I might as well had gone,,,sigh!!
The bummer is now the classes that are being offered are now at Jupiter Beach? I guess it is a great place to train and after the course you can simply walk out to the beaches so I am glad about that but can't help but wonder how far you are away from that area???
Hey Cab- you and Gem never invited me. That's why I didn't go. Well... that and because the Blue Ridge Parkway isn't there.

As for Jupiter Beach- I am about 3.5-4 hours from there. Atlantic side beaches are quite different from Gulf beaches. When are you going over there? Sometimes the husband works over there... maybe we could plan something.

Hi Freebies! I'm in New Jersey right now, having driven up in Mocha with my husband and two kids. I looked for Gem & Cab as I went around Philadelphia (76 to 276 to 1 to 95) on my way here, but alas, no such luck! But if you hear rumors of a hot chocolate clubbie with a silver thule roof box, well, we don't admit anything unless it's in our best interest!
Tomorrow, we finish our trip to Maine- so we'll go thru NY, CT, MA, NH and then Maine...
Phew. Now it's time for bed!
Cheerios and miss y'all
