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.

Yep - 3rd Gen (F56 (2D) & F55 (4D)) vs. 2nd Gen (R60 (Countryman)). The 3rd Gen Countryman will be released early next year, along with all of the same technology updates.

Well, they kinda do - it's called a JCW Countryman.

Me. No point for me, except on the way back. Thankfully I have my return pass from the last time I used it.

Ceramic will last longer (less fading or peeling) and also blocks more heat (40-50% more!) at the same percentage. No issue with technology blocking, as it is non-metallic. Worth the premium, IMO.

I doubt it. He'll have both rolls there with him, and he'll cut from the roll you ask for.

It does. I have the R56 JCW rear sway bar on my R53.

If the shoe fits...

<cough> Ahem.

That was a short but sweet run - thank you! I wish we could have stayed for lunch, with with the pups, and the fact we had to get out to Charlestown, WV for a family cookout, it just wasn't possible. Thank you Alex and Ali for organizing it! :top:

It's only Wednesday... I won't know whether or not we're coming for a few days.

Excellent! Yeah, it's easy to forget... but it really helps with the count for events. In particular, the "Maybes" ought to update either Yes or No once they know for sure (and include the # of guests, if applicable).

Don't forget to update your RSVP above. :top:

OK, thanks Alex. Unfortunately, since she doesn't have her own DCMM forum account, there was no way for me to RSVP Yes and simultaneously have her RSVP as Maybe.

Unfortunately I don't have an immediate answer... she wants to come, but there are a few other factors at play. I'll follow up with her this afternoon when she gets off work and see if she has any more indication... and I'll explain that you need to get the reservation locked in today.

Awesome! Welcome indeed! If you like, we can move this whole thread to the "New Member Welcome" forum in the Members area.

Welcome to the DCMM Forums, Erik! We hope you like it here and consider joining us as a member. Hope to meet you at an event soon, too! :top:

Seems to me this is just as much a club dinner as a "happy hour"... but that's fine by me, because I generally order food either way, no matter what we call it!

You and I are on the same page, brother. Gas, bio intake and bio output, all in the one stop. :top:

Cool - just making sure. When I hear "gallery" I usually think "fancy pants".

There's no dress code, right? :angel:

OK, I've created a route sheet for this... Susan and I will be doing the practice run on Thursday (5/12). Anyone is welcome to join us - or if you'd like a copy of the route sheet to do it on your own, I'll print a few extras and bring them with me.

That does sound fun. :top:

Yep - hi again, Craig! :wavey: My morning was less than productive. I actually got up early today, threw on clothes and got Mr. OEM to PMoA before they opened (3rd in line) for my service appointment. I have been trying to set up a pre-MOTD service appointment for almost 2 weeks now, making clear each time that I needed a loaner car. We had it all set up for this morning - my SA, emailed me yesterday (even though it was his day off), to say that he was having one of his coworkers set aside a loaner for me. Well - when I get there this morning, and I'm in line outside, he calls me and tells me that someone took the loaner. Basically, another of his coworkers raided the "reserved" loaner and left me hanging. So - off to Enterprise it was. I didn't get a car for an hour after I checked in Mr. OEM. Painful! Then, ironically... as I was sitting in the rental from Enterprise, before I even drove off the lot, my SA called me back and said he had managed to obtain a loaner, and asked if I could come back. So... I took the Enterprise paperwork back in, and they gave me a ride back to PMoA again so I could get the loaner. I have said for years that PMoA doesn't have enough loaners. I have said this multiple times to the General Manager, David Hellmuth... and each time he defends himself by rattling off some large number about how many loaners they have. Regardless of how many they have now, it's still not enough! They should be able to keep up with the demands of their customers, and they just don't. I counted at least 10 service customers (including me and Craig) this morning who needed to be picked up by Enterprise for a rental. Anyway - rant over. My hopes for an early start today (including getting to work early) were completely shot by this nonsense! :hmpf: P.S. Oh, and get off my lawn! :argh:

Great idea - we're in! :top:
