  1. Last week
  2. Only 10 Days left till AutoX school and the start of another season full of fun.
  3. Earlier
  4. Yeah, the evenings have become busy. Wednesday evening is welcome dinner, Thursday evening is cabin crawl, Friday is Bingo, Saturday is Farewell. Damn Barry and is full slate of events, lol.
  5. Ah, gotcha. Bingo used to be Thursday, but it's been a few years since I've been.
  6. Previously many of the club members did not attend the farewell dinner so we did a group thing, We can consider other nights based on what others have planned. Friday is Bingo, and many of the club members put that event on, so trying to fit is in that evening may be difficult.
  7. PS I'm heading to Fontana early Thursday morning (gotta arrive in time for Bingo!) from Frederick if anyone is doing the same.
  8. Just curious, does that mean you do not go to the Farewell dinner? (I've already signed up and paid, so hoping maybe this dinner will be Friday night :-))

    2024: Old Town Winchester Run

    Please feel free to add your own photos to this club album
  10. Hey all, we had a room open up in the DCMM cabin. Queen bed in the Fontana village makes it so you can enjoy all the social events and it is walking distance to the cabin while also being above the party so you can actually sleep. Lol if you were thinking of coming down or looking to be on Fontana just ping me for the details.
  11. Not sure how many DC Metro members are planning to attend MINIs on the Dragon this year Links for those unfamiliar: MINIs on the Dragon_web | MINIs on the Dragon_FB But for anyone attending who is interested in caravanning from the DMV/P area, here's details for a leg of the Sunday return option (Feel free to co-ordinate outbound plans; they tend to vary. Sunday homeward is more universal) MINI Caravan East Sunday, May 5 (aka Delaying the Inevitable MOTD withdrawal) There are no events posted for Sunday as everyone will be headed home. But many of us will be headed the same direction, at least for a while. I'll have a lonely 8.5 hour drive back to Maryland. Here's the plan for Sunday, feel free to join in: Meet at the Fontana Village General Store for 9am departure. We will head East along 74 to 19 through Bryson City, Cherokee and Maggie Valley to Waynesville, NC. Drive time 1.50 hours Brunch stop at The Buttered Biscuit 1226 Dellwood City Rd, Waynesville, NC 28786 Link: https://butteredbiscuitnc.com Reviews: 4.7 with 2210 Reviews on Google Waynesville is about 20 minutes from where the MINIs heading East (40) and the MINIs heading North (26) will split and have to say Good Bye. Please indicate your RSVP so that I may give the restaurant - which has hosted motorcycles, but not MINIs, to date - a headcount.
  12. I'm planning to do a bit of a social media push this week on the school. I wanted to get the word out about the Winchester run first since it's on Sunday.
  13. Might make some later in the year, depending on the job situation and other expenses.
  14. Awesome, look forward to seeing you out there @SneakyBaron. We have one MINI signed up for the school when I checked today, John will be bringing out his GP3. FWD Hatches do make up about half the attendees at this point (Golfs, Fiestas, Veloster, and MINIs)!!! So it going to be a great time. We also have 3 MINIs signed up for the Season, and a few others that pop in for an event here or there. We will have to get you driving in an event or two this year. If anyone has any questions I am happy to answer them. Autocross, is a great way to learn the handling of your MINI, which will benefit you on if you plan on being on track, or just make you more confident on a fun run with the club.
  15. Got a new camera so thinking I'll come out and play around with it and get photos of whoever is there!
  16. Many many thanks to everyone and especially to our fearless leader for a great run!!
  17. This was a great run last year, sorry I won't be able to make it!
  18. Event Title: March Run to Old Town Winchester Event Date: 03/10/2024 10:00 AM to 03/10/2024 01:30 PM Event Address: 437 S King St, Leesburg, Virginia, 20175, United States Please join us for a Sunday 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 (paved 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 before, we are only two blocks from the Walking Mall which boasts unique shops, ice cream, restaurants, historical sites, and three breweries (an extra one is only one a block away). So, if you like quick twisties, beautiful scenery and relaxing old town charm, you won’t want to miss this Little Virginia Journey. Start Point: Leesburg Safeway – 437 S King St, Leesburg, VA 20175 End Point: Vibrissa Beer and Kitchen – 10 N Kent St, Winchester, VA 22601 (vibrissabeer.com) Schedule of events: 10:00: Driver’s meeting 10:15: Run Starts 11:45: Pit Stop (Food Lion, Marshall, VA) 12:00: Leave Marshall, VA 13:30: Arrive Vibrissa Beer and Kitchen GPX File will come later.

  25. Ok friends, looks like $1300 is the going rate for shipping our MINIs from Seattle, I called around yesterday and that is the rate I was given as well. They also told me that to fill a truck exclusively with MINIs we would need 7-9 cars, and would need a pick up point and drop off point. I just gave them a Leesburg zip code in order to quote.
