Im thinking about doing this trip, and then one out Route 9. Route 9 is just beautiful, and plenty of fun driving roads. It also gives me the excuse to go pick up a bottle of my favorite wine...

If anybody else is up for it, let me know...

Sounds good, we'll give your E92 an escort. I want to check out this Breaux Vineyard you've been raving about

They have a great selection of white wine and dessert wines. My personal favorite is a dessert wine, but I drink it with most dinners when I have it in stock...

Funny thing is, my next favorite is actually a German Riesling wine. I never thought Germans made wine... I guess they do more than just build fantastic cars...

...and beer. Glorious Beer!

Do they do Chardonnay-Rieslings up there at Breaux. What kind of reds are they good at?

Nice! They have a lot of medal winning wines. The Viognier looks good....

Like I said, I'd be up for a little trip.

I like to do this Middleburg Wine Country Drive again AJ, maybe in Spring and when my Cab gets its first service and valve adjustments, plus to try out this Dinan Short Shift Kit!

Lets do it! I like to open this up to others especially our new 335i crowd, maybe it can be the Ultimate 335i vs. e46 M3 showdown at Noon at the Corral.

Sorry! no showdown for Xede equiped e92 unless I get a Stage III on mine

I sure hope my car is broken in by spring time. At the rate that I drive, it should take me one month max to break the car in...

Don't worry, if we put shimshimhada at the front of the pack, your car's break in will not be compromised....

Maybe we should get ahead of him and box him in, and slow down to about 30 mph.....that has to be amusing.

Tires have to go through a break in as well... They are very oily at first... I will certainly take it easy on them at break in... I cant venture above 4k rpm where all the fun is...

I should have the 189's on by the end of break in, so those tires are going to be in fantastic condition...

By the way.. Saw good old sam at Clydes... He was doing some celebrating, so lets see what he has to say later on...

WxSquid · 01-25-2007, 07:47 PM

One of the best meets the Hampton Roads MINI folks did was to a winery north of Richmond (Cooper Vineyards - usually win at the Norfolk Wine Festival every year).

The fun drive was on the way there; didn't really want to push anything after tasting wines during the afternoon.

I'm up for it....
