I presume that spectators need not RSVP with Passport?
-
...not unless you consider ~5 mph "driving".For this one, we don't have to be able to drive in costume, right? Meaning that I don't need to worry about obstructing airflow or other mechanical thingys like tires. Looking at some pics from previous events, it looked like the cars got dressed stationary - so that opens up the options quite a bit :-).
EDIT: Whoops, wrong event... I somehow thought we were talking about the Christmas parade. Nope, no driving! Park and then decorate!
-
Shawn Peace was my SA for a while when I used to take my MINI to MINI of Sterling for service. Good guy.
-
Thanks to everyone who came out and played with me! Also thanks for Rey setting things up and helping me out! You guys have a great Mini group!
:congrats: :top:Woah, you created an account. You are one of us... -
If the others fall through, I am interested (in the entire set). I especially like the fact that they are custom-fit for 1st Gen MINIs.
...then again, they seem to fit quite well in Smokie, too!
-
As much fun as I am having up here, I am bummed that I had to miss this... the very first club picnic I have missed since joining DCMM about 11 1/2 years ago.
I'm glad it went well though!
-
Nice rhyme, BTW. :top:Save the dateNovember 6th for MTTB8

Alex - it's great to hear all of the positive feedback on your run - sounds like you did a bang-up job! :top:I'm a bit late on this...but thank you to everyone who came out to this and made it a successful run. The weather even seemed like it cooperated just enough. Big thanks to Craig for leading and being my chauffeur. Thanks to Ali for flutter sweeping. I might have one more run up my sleeve to plan for this year. :top:I hope to make it to your next run. Hopefully I won't be out of town next time.

Well, you'll all be in good company... I read back on the thread and I counted 7 "non-crab" people so far.I went once with Alex and found plenty of really good food that was not crabs. I also really liked the restaurant in general
-
All these non-crab eaters (not criticizing that fact, I'm not a crab eater either)... I hope you realize just how much of a crab place Cantler's is. I mean, it's 98% crab shack, 2% other food.
I've only ever been there once, with friends who wanted to go, and I definitely felt like a duck out of water because I was the only one in the place (not just in our party, the whole place) who ordered a steak instead.
Don't get me wrong, I'd happily tag along there with friends again if I could (and I didn't take up someone else's spot), because although I don't like seafood, that doesn't mean I'm going to be a bad sport with friends who do.
...just be prepared for the overwhelming crab atmosphere!

Ah, OK... wow - that's a long way out of the way... but maybe it is because they want to minimize people getting stuck in heavy rush hour traffic.Their route doesn't go near I-95 (fortunately for them, but unfortunately because it would be awesome to see them). They're going a lot more west and stopping mid-way in Culpeper.http://www.minitakesthestates.com/docs/dailyRouteSheets/MTTS-2016_Day3_0711_Rich-Balt.pdf

Ali - aren't you guys coming up I-95 on your way to Baltimore anyway? Why not just pick up Max on the way? Problem solved!Is there someone going to Baltimore but not staying over? I'm spending the night in Baltimore but Mark has to work on Tuesday. He needs a ride home from Baltimore(...or is it just not that simple?)

Consider me in for 2 R53 shirts, one blue, one pink... especially if the pink one is a v-neck.Lets get a pre order for R53 T Shirts and i'll get them done! Minimum 10...
-
I'm interested but I'm holding off for a hopeful future R53 front end...
I think you'll find that most people (there will be exceptions) would prefer to have the front end of the specific model they own. Us MINI folk can be a bit quirky like that. :angel:
-
Crap, that really sucks... I hope you got the license plate of the Volvo so it can be pursued by both law and insurance.Let me know. Was just ran off the rd by a damn Volvo and hit a curb. Gearbox now has a hole. :/I don't have a gearbox to offer, I just wanted to make sure you knew that the manual gearbox changed from the pre-refresh R53s (2002-2004) to the refreshed R53s (2005-2006 and also 2007-2008 R52 S convertibles). I don't know if they are interchangeable (they might be!), but the gearing ratio changed with the refresh - it was made shorter, for better acceleration... but that also means higher RPMs (mostly noticeable at highway speeds).
Just a heads up. You can look up all of the part numbers at www.realoem.com.

I can continue getting your swag in Pittsburgh. I know it's just one more site, but in case no one else is as nice
Aww - thank you guys!I can get you stuff beyond Pittsburgh. I love the swag too, so I'll just grab an extra set whenever I can.
Ali can start it out for me, and by Baltimore she can hand off to Chris, who can hand off to Melissa by Pittsburgh. I have updated my MTTS registration for the whole thing.
Thank you, all 3 of you... I truly appreciate it - so kind of you.
I'm going to make sure I can attend MTTS 2018. I've always wanted to do the whole thing one day... maybe that will be the year. :hmmmm:
-
Do you have any other MINI shapes? Or only the Countryman/Paceman face?Hey guys! I am currently doing a special! If you buy 2 shirts you will get a free key chain. If you buy 3 shirts you will get one free and a keychain.Each Shirt is $20.00
Colors, Pink, Blue, Red, Black, Gray.
Going to be a vendor for this site, I also can get quotes on suspension if anyone here is interested!
It would be really nice to have an R53...

Awesome - tell her Haemish says hi (my name is rare enough, and I'm sure she'll remember me since I keep coming back).Valerie is still running things. Brian D'Andrea is my instructor (guess he has been teaching here since 2003 or something). Not sure if he'll be your guy or not, you're further up the chain than I. I was told the same thing about getting away from your normal environment, helps to be removed so you can focus on studying (which is why i have limited myself to only this site for internet )Good luck on your exam(s)! :top:
-
Nice! I've gone there for training 4 separate times since 2001... always the same venue. They do have classes here in the DC area but I believe it's best to get away from your usual environment so you can better concentrate. I'll be back there soon for the MCSE Server 2012 2-week boot camp.As a matter of fact, yes i'm here for Training Camp. Here to hopefully earn my CCNA. First time here and a lot of things are really making sense as I haven't really had proper training on this networking stuff.Good luck on the CCNA! Is Valerie still running things on-site?

As I posted in the RSVP, unfortunately I am unable to make it to any of MTTS this year, because I'll be in an intense technical training brain "boot camp" during the entire 2 weeks that the event takes place.
However, I am still interested in the MTTS "swag" that comes up for these events. I'm willing to pay for a multi-city membership in order to cover whatever swag is in each city... but that would require that someone is willing to pick up my badge and any associated swag for me.
Is there anyone who is going to a bunch of cities that doesn't mind doing that for me at each stop? If so, let me know which stops you will be doing, and I will register for those stops.
THANK YOU Ali! I'll go ahead and register for those legs today... and I'll update my registration further if anyone else is able to pick up more legs. I totally understand and excuse any "Track-to-Track" people from helping me out though, because I don't expect anyone to deal with the added hassle for a full 2 weeks. :angel:Haemish - I just saw this. I'm not going to many cities but am happy to do this for the portion that I do. Atlanta to Baltimore -
Bushkill? What a coincidence! I've been there a number of times, and will be there again soon... I wonder if it's for the same reason... it's a pretty small place, now I'm curious - it wouldn't happen to be for The Training Camp, would it?Today, before heading to Bushkill PA,

I'll try to make it.

Yep - 3rd Gen (F56 (2D) & F55 (4D)) vs. 2nd Gen (R60 (Countryman)).The 2D JCW has an updated engine and interior. Nothing wrong with the JCW Countryman, but the updates are the reason I went with the 4D instead of the Countryman.The 3rd Gen Countryman will be released early next year, along with all of the same technology updates.

That was a lot of fun, Craig! Thanks for setting that up - it was great to get out on a run again, it had been too long.
