It was a beauty of a day for a drive. Traffic on the Malahat was light and spirits were soaring. Thanks to Richard for planning the drive and stops along the way. Sometimes, on short trips like this, you encounter some minor issues. While on an inaugural drive (aka Test Drive) one of the Minis developed a fuel leak. However, without a lot of fanfare, a friend of Minis was able to provide a tool that would ultimately correct the problem of a loose fitting and after refuelling, we were off again. Of course, while waiting for the refuelling to be completed, we looked around and had drinks and ice cream. Then, we finished up the drive around the lake and returned to have a great tasting lunch at the 4-Mile House. One of the cars on the way home had rear suspension issues and had to pull over and get a tow-truck ride home. Everyone was safe and sound and looking forward to the next event.
