Hey all, I just purchased a Craven Speed phone mount and wasn't super happy with where it puts my phone. I have an iPhone 11 Pro Max, so the phone is pretty big, and in order to make it work I just didn't like the way it sits. If you think you might want to give it shot let me know, not looking to get cost just don't need it sitting around. I have an F56 with analog gauges and the phone holder is a scissor. Here is a link for more info. https://www.cravenspeed.com/the-gemini-phone-mount-1/

Posting on behalf of Corey Fellow MINIacs, Corey here, I wanted to reach out to you with an update about the status of MINIs take the Beltway. This event has been a staple of the DC Metro MINIs calendar for 15 years, with Brandy and I organizing the event since 2017. MTTB has raised over $20,000 for Veterans’ charities, with $15,000 of that coming post COVID. With our growth, and with ongoing changes post pandemic, it has become more difficult to retain the principle I believe most in, that 100% of your registrations/donations go directly to the Charity, Operation Second Chance. The event spaces, prizes, and registration gifts have always been donated by vendors and other supporters of the event, our vendors have also experienced change so this model is not currently sustainable, and we will unfortunately be taking a year off to assess the way forward. We want to honor the intent of MTTB, to support our Veterans, while also putting on a high-quality event that will meet the expectations of our fellow MINIacs. To do this, we will be holding a virtual town hall in January to present information on how MTTB has previously operated, share lessons learned, and receive community feedback. We are also looking for volunteers willing to join in the planning process to continue this wonderful event into the future. I am happy to answer any questions you may have. Feel free to post them as a comment on our social media platforms, in the club forum, or emailing us at: board@dcmetrominis.org Happy Motoring, Corey

As long as the battery charger has a float mode you can leave the battery hooked up. You do not want to overcharge the battery.

untilPlease join us for a Sunday run to Luray and back through Virginia’s rolling countryside. Our drive will begin at the Walmart in Haymarket where we will head west through the rolling countryside of Virginia. We will make a quick bio-break in Front Royal before heading to one of the finest twisty roads in the Shenandoah Valley. Nicknamed the Valley within a Valley, Fort Valley Road will wind us along Passage Creek before rising to Edith’s Gap Lookout where you will see a stunning view of the valley towards Luray. A quick 90 degree turn at the base of the mountain, over the South Fork of the Shenandoah River, and we will arrive in Luray, Virginia. At this point, we will have a bite to eat in Luray before beginning our drive back to Haymarket. We will wind our way over the mountain and under Skyline Drive before cruising through the quaint town of Washington. We will continue traveling on some twisties until we reach our destination of The Farm Brewery at Broad Run. If you would like to head to Luray Caverns and break away from the main group, just let me know when we stop for our bite to eat, and I will give you directions to the Caverns. 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: Walmart – 6530 Trading Sq, Haymarket, VA End Point: The Farm Brewery at Broad Run – 16015 John Marshall Hwy, Broad Run, VA (Really Haymarket) Schedule of events: 10:00 - Driver’s Meeting 10:15 - Run Starts 11:00 - Bio-break McDonalds, Front Royal 12:15 - Arrive Luray, Lunch at either Ollie Cafe or West Main Market Garden 1:15 - Leave Luray 2:45 - End run at The Farm Brewery at Broad Run, Haymarket

Clubman is "on my list" -- I've got a '13 S, but when I get a new MINI, one of these days, I am sticking with the Clubman model. BB2 will both lead to questions ("what does that mean?") but also to conversations ""what does that mean?" which is fun! Have fun!
-
That's a good looking MINI! So glad we got to spend so much time with you and Khalil during MTTS

After having such a great time at MTTS, I have added a Clubman to our driveway! Rule #37 says"Always be ready to Rally" don't think that's what it meant, but it sounded good when I mentioned it to my husband!!! I have not settled on a name as of yet, Sully and BB2 (Big Brother to Blueberry) are the leading contenders.

I second the recommendation for GT Peace! The whole crew there is awesome and the customer service is top notch. I've been taking my car there for years and they do an excellent job! -STEVE

I'd only go to Sterling if it was absolutely necessary. GTPeace has been fantastic and the only place I know a few of us go because they are honest and do fantastic work. I don't believe we have any other GP1s in the club. Welcome!

Hi DC-Metro MINI folks! Greetings from Loudoun County. Just acquired a 2006 MINI Cooper S JCW "GP1", this is my 5th or 6th MINI. It was essentially a barn-find in southern New York, but <40k miles and in quite good condition minus a couple small dings that I'll have PDR'd and a paint correction detail. I've also got a scheduled maintenance scheduled at GT Peace in a couple weeks. (Recharge AC and a low-mileage Oil Change... and to get other recommendations from tech to do before fall.) What is the opinion of GT Peace as a shop; should I just go to the dealer in Sterling? I started my career with MINI in 2003 and have since worked with a few automakers and within the automotive world for 20+ years now... I, of course, had a boatload of rare R53 JCW parts that I let go of years ago, but now I'll be on the hunt for stuff again --- would love to see if any local members have any R53 items they would like to sell, specifically JCW and/or GP1 related. Let me know! Happy to be in the group. Any other GP1 owners in the area?!

We made it to Watkins Glen yesterday, wet drive but no problems. The forecast for the rest of the weekend looks great. Seneca Lodge has had Harley riders all week, they are rolling out this morning, like a changing of the guard!

Gorgeous photos! I love seeing the event through other people's eyes

Great photos!

I finally got my photos all edited and posted online! https://photos.glennfitzpatrick.com/gallery/8TI64NnDxFwsHDZDn9RkqZZD

I don't see that Carlisle (Ok, Ok, South Central PA MINI Motorists) have an organized drive for Friday to get to WGI as they have historically done .. I'll be heading up from MD, probably staying directly on 15 since my PA friends aren't taking us on intereting backroads somewhere .. if anyone wants to meet up off 15 in Frederick, MD, I'm pretty flexible on my departure time for the day. Could meet at Sheetz on Thomas Johnson Drive - it's directly off 15. Friday looks like rain all day, but Saturday clears up nicely ... if you've never been, it's a fun event.

MC, I use the battery tender brand on my classic, it would be fine a your MINI. The other option is to just disconnect the negative terminal if it is going to sit for externed periods, just have to reset the clock
-
I lived in a house right down the street from here .. sure did miss being able to do this event; enjoying the memories your pictures bring! -

In the same "missed out" boat and making up for it with other events. Thought about MINIs Take Mountain Lake next weekend, but I do not think my foot will be healed well enough by then (the reason I missed MTTS) .. also looking at either Hampton Roads Fall Colours Run or maybe MINIs Take Vermont for a fall excursion .. But none of that is what you asked about ... the Carlisle MINI group for at least the past 8-9 years (except pandemic) has run an event to get to MATG, even before it was a MINI USA sponsored event. They usually meet at Fort Hunter (Harrisburg) area, take a lovely drive up through PA backroads and stop for lunch somewhere along the line. Some return on Sunday, others Monday (on your own return) .. all that enticement and so far I do not see an event posted on either their Meetup page (in the process of being d/c'd) or their FB page. If I see / get more details, I will post them here. MATG is a really fun event for a good cause in a beautiful area .. Friday - Sun/Monday really doesn't allow enough time to see everything in the area (not unreasonable to get to Niagra Falls, Finger Lakes, and the Corning Glass Museum) so if you have the time to make a week of it, do it.
