Event Title: March Run to Old Town Winchester Event Date: 03/15/2025 10:00 AM to 03/15/2025 01:30 PM Event Address: Please join us for a Saturday run through Virginia’s rolling countryside. Our drive will begin at the Safeway in Leesburg where we will head south and west through some of the prettiest scenery in Virginia. This run will be limited to 15 MINIs and will focus on enjoying the countryside all the while experiencing our unique paved Virginia cow paths (twisties). We will pass along two meandering rivers (makes for even better twisties), cruise by many of Virginia’s horse farms, make a quick “pit stop” in Marshall, pop over the Blue Ridge Mountains, skim the Shenandoah River twice (if you put your hand out it will get wet), and ultimately arrive in Old Town Winchester (https://oldtownwinchesterva.com). Our final destination will be Vibrissa Beer and Kitchen where we will enjoy a late lunch and discuss our journey. If you haven’t been to Old Town Winchester, we are only two blocks from the Walking Mall which boasts unique shops, ice cream, restaurants, historical sites, and three breweries. So, if you like quick twisties, beautiful scenery and relaxing old town charm, you won’t want to miss this Little Virginia Journey.

Hey Corey! I should have revisited this post. In the end, the problem seems to have been some combination of having the master cylinder capped, and/or not using a caliper wind-in tool. When I started over a couple days later with a loaner tool from Advantage and the cap off, it all went perfectly smooth. I finger-tightened the calipers all the way in, easy. Had to fight Bimmerlink which didn't want to turn off service mode, but then flicking the electric parking brake on manually fixed that, and everything went back to normal. It honestly really was easy, once I had the proper tools. But of course when you follow a YouTube guide, they always miss one or two key steps.

No not this one, but he will be taking photos ate the autocross school

is the piston retracted flush with the caliper, like the picture below or still sticking out of the capiler

We're going to try to make it up Tuesday, but we'll be there Wednesday at the latest. It will depend on whether or not Toni can get Tuesday off as well.

Hey!! It'll be great to see you both again, glad you're going to make it up! What day are you arriving? I think we're going to do a DCMM dinner at one of the cabins on Tuesday if you're getting in early

Good morning! Looking forward to seeing y’all there! It's Toni's and my first MOTD. We’ll be doing the following: Thu: Dragon Fire Run Cabin Crawl Fri: Dragon Parade Hellbender with Corey Dragon Bingo Sat: Ice Cream Run

No worries at all and thank you for the message.

@scotty, yes! Yours is in the first in the batch I just finished typing up yesterday. I will be printing them today to have sent out this week. Sorry for the delay!

That sounds great and thank you very much for your fast reply.

I just received this sweatshirt, excellent quality, and I was really surprised that the logo is embroidered. That should be in the description because it's a huge selling point imo

Hi Scotty, @SusieQ does batch mailing for membership cards. I've added her to this reply so that she can weigh in with the details of when this batch will be going out

Signed up for these runs: - Wed: Foothills Parkway - Thurs: Cherohala Drive - Fri: Hellbender (Hell Yes Corey!) - Sat: Road to Nowhere

So just wanted to check in on my new membership card for this year. I updated for 2025 back on 01/03/25 but have not yet received my card. Just want to make sure everything went through ok.

First attempt at a rear brake job on our 2022 F54. I'm swapping my worn original pads for EBC Redstuff. I used Bimmerlink to put her in service mode and retract the rear pistons. Got it all ready to reassemble and the caliper won't fit over the new pads. Double-checked the fitment guide, no problem there. Eventually figured out that the piston isn't in far enough, because there's barely enough room in there for the old pads plus rotor. An extra 20mm isn't going to fit. Tried compressing the piston more by turning it clockwise with a crescent wrench. It moves freely going counter-clockwise, but stops decisively, right where it's at for the clockwise direction. Any ideas?

Ryan and I did: -Deep Creek Waterfalls Run (Wed) -Sunrise Drive (Thur) -Apple Pie Run (Fri) With all the other various random activities Bingo, Draggin Dragons, Wine and Painting, in the other times.

We're on the following runs: -Foothills Parkway Run (Wed) -Andrew Valley Rail Tour (Thr) -Snowbird Mountain Run (Fri) -We left Sat open, we like to have one day to do our own thing

All signed up, lots of familiar names Wed - Foothills Parkway Thurs - Rivers End Fri - Hellbender (because we Corey) Sat - Road to Nowhere

Did @SneakyBaron take this pic? It's awesome!

I have that weird alcohol we discussed at the post holiday party.

Will a bottle of wine at Big Cork do it? lol

At the track cross event a Summit Point the end of January, Roxy was doing her best impersonation of a snowmobile. There is some asphalt between the snow I promise. I was a fun day!!

I can be bribed to let you in early, lol.

Don't forget that drive sign ups are tomorrow morning at 9:00 am!!
