All Activity

Well I do hope you all have a great time and next year we do want to go and maybe we can find a place that's big enough and we can split the cost of everything because we really do want to hit those roads and have a good time with everyone. You guys be safe

Sorry you're not going to make it this year Scotty. We had the same problem with finding a place, especially since we didn't want to stay at Fontana again. Our rental is a good 25 min drive from the events at Fontana because we booked so late, but we figured, hey, we're there to drive those back roads anyway!

We wanted to go this year but it's just not going to work for us, I was trying to find a place but everything is either full or very far away or super $ and the wife has to go to Peru in July and of course my job just doesn't give me much free time.

-Mike and I will be there, but we're in a VRBO off of White Oak Rd near Robbinsville. It'll be DCMM MOTD Eastern Headquarters because @Laura H and @evantyler will be our roomies, and of course little Minni dog will be there too! -We're signed up for the Welcome dinner, Cabin Crawl & Bingo-save us 4 seats! -We're arriving on Tuesday leaving on Saturday -Let us know if there's a DCMM family dinner again this year, and count us in please

How funny was it that you were there when I called them today?

No worries Corey I went out there yesterday and just got there early and they gave me a spot right up front, it was nice and they took pics and all that so kinda representing for the club.

Scott sorry I was out at the track so I missed this. An of the external events we share we will either include the info to sign up, if there is nothing directing you to a sign up they are just show up.

Hey all, Brandy and I will be down at the dragon this year, how about you? When do you plan on getting to Fontana Village? Are you staying offsite or on the resort?

Have a question about the cars and coffee tomorrow at mini, is there any further signing up that needs to be done other than what I did here on the events section? I did go to their website and was not able to submit a sign up. Not really worried about having my car up front or anything like that but I do want to just attend and check it out and have a good time.

Of course I'm going to love this because I have the same car in the "S" version!

Here you go

To the place I belong We have a full group of MINIacs for tomorrow’s Run to Old Town Winchester. Weather looks decent and the twisties are calling our names. We are looking forward to meeting some new folks in the group as well. I have attached the GPX file in case you want to make sure I don’t miss a turn. See you tomorrow. Country roads, take me home DCMM - Winchester Run.gpx

Thanks @STXMINI!

Welcome back! Look forward to seeing pic of the new MINI. Always love seeing a JCW F60

We take our MINI to Premier Autowerks. They are certified BMW mechanics and are in Frederick

Thank You! this is SUPER helpful. Yeah it's a rare car and I've been looking out of state as well. As for blind spots since I'm a first time driver, I'll definitely get some add-on tech like cameras everywhere, etc...

After a long hiatus from the club and MINI in general, I secured a lovely Nanuq White F60 JCW yesterday (Pics to follow). Still undecided as to whether I'd like to bring it club events...but hey, the first step was coming back to the forums. I look forward to catching up.

Hey guys, I need some work done on my Mini, along with a full safety check - about to drive cross country to see family. Anyone have good mechanic experiences in Frederick County MD? Used GTPeace in the past, but would prefer not to have to drive to Chantilly if I don’t have to. Appreciate any recommendations. Thanks!

Hey guys, new question along same lines. I need some work done on my Mini, along with a full safety check - about to drive cross country to see family. Anyone have good mechanic experiences in Frederick County MD? Used GTPeace in the past, but would prefer not to have to drive to Chantilly if I don’t have to. Appreciate any recommendations. Thanks!

Over the weekend I booked NY hotels… probably make a week of it with MTVT. Just need to decide where to noodle around between the 2, maybe Montreal?

Where: MINI of Sterling - 21710 Auto World Cir, Sterling, VA 20166 When: 22 March from 11am to 1pm RSVP on the event here:

CA - would be fun, but like everyone else just to far. NY - We have book our hotels and plan on attending FL - Up in the air on this one. though interesting views, the first drive has to be staight accross the swamp, and the second drive will be down route 1, when that first n14 craps out on the causways through the key it could quickly become stop and go traffic. Note for those that have a military tie they can exploit, Naval Support Activity Key West touches the park that is the end point. Cheap lodging ($115 a night) and the also have cabins. It will also help you get around trying to park down there.
