Ran into a nice fellow last week while at Napa.  He offered me a drive up some of the "twistys" in the hills around my area.  I took him up on it in my 911.  Boy you would think he was an ex-Fedex driver.  I wasn't familiar with many of the roads he found.  Well then he offered me another drive yesterday with some of his other car guys.  

Three Miatas, one BMW 335 and me in my Mini. This time we went south and he found some other great roads.  My Mini is awesome, now with the rear sway bar.  We stopped for lunch and then took off again over some more back roads working our way back north towards home.  We drove for 8 hours, not counting the stop for lunch.  The fellow I meet was the leader and he did a good job.  He was running the speed limit until we'd get into the hills where we all pushed our cars hard around the tight turns.

I actually had to stop for gas before I got home and couldn't believe with as hard as I was driving I got 37 mpg.
