I'm hoping to come for a few days, but like Devin and Corinne, I want to see about MTTS. I also have a few other trips planned for the summer, so we'll see how things work out.

The first stop will be Ocelot, in case anyone wants to join us there instead of MINI of Sterling.

I set up a separate event for this. Mark- I agree with you and I think Ocelot will be our first stop.

Event Title: Brewery Hopping Event Date: 12/16/2017 11:30 AM to 12/16/2017 02:00 PM Event Address: Post Meet and Greet Brewery Hopping! After the Meet and Greet at MINI of Sterling, let's go check out a couple of the nearby breweries! We will depart MINI of Sterling at approximately 11:45am Here are some of the nearby breweries and what, if anything, they are serving for lunch on Saturday: Ocelot - Food Truck - Thai Beltway Brewing - No Food/TBD Crooked Run Sterling - Mexican food Lost Rhino - Serves food on site Old Ox - Food Truck - The Frenchman Solace Brewery - Food Truck - Flavor (southern food) We can decide as a group where we want to start and go from there. The intention is not to go to all of them, this list is just to provide options! RSVP on the event here: Brewery Hopping

Yes, I'm working on the logistics now. We would not arrive at the Meet and Greet until about 11:30 and head immediately to the brewery.

You do not need anymore tires/wheels. Spare or otherwise.

Would anyone be interested in visiting one of the many nearby breweries after this?

If you come to me, yes. Otherwise, no. It can be tough for me to get away if it's not around lunchtime.

Great! I work in Tysons, but could probably get out to Dulles on Thursday.

Yes, I still have the boot mat.

This has been sold! I bought a donut spare from another member last Spring and since it's a 4-lug, it won't work with the new MINI. It's this one from Detroit Tuned: http://www.detroittuned.com/mini-cooper-spare-tire-4-lug/ I'm asking the same as I paid for it, $60. I never even took it out of the bag. Pickup in Tysons or Poolesville.

I listen to a lot of books.

It looks like the Potomac Porsche Club had some events there in 2016. https://pcapotomac.org/activities/autocross/autocross-results/prior-years-results#2016

I had to go to Germantown last night, which is much farther than I normally go on 495/270. I really don't know how you do that everyday.

As always during the week, it depends on traffic.

I saw Melissa last night on the Beltway. I'm pretty sure she didn't see me (or know it was me). I was 2 lanes over and there was a ton of traffic.

Is there a theme to the decorations or is it a free-for-all?

Anyone want stickers? Stickers were only available today to those who donated in advance. However, for the next week, if anyone would like one, they are $3/each and the money will be donated to Operation Second Chance. If you you would like one, please send me a PM with your name, mailing address and how many you would like. I will send you a PayPal invoice.

Yes, I do!

A parking lot within walking distance is probably easier. You can't really drive at speed with decorations on your car.

That's what I'm looking at too.

Does anyone with an F56 have a sway bar? I’m looking at getting one, but they seem a lot more expensive than the 2nd gen ones. I’m curious if it’s worth it. I know this car will never have the same setup as Cricket, but it’s really squishy.

I know this is an old thread, but now that I have an F56 I’m interested and can bring lots of good IPAs!

If anyone needs cardboard for their costume(s), I can help! I have over 1,000 medium and large UPS shipping boxes at work. UPS won't take them back and I have to get them out of the office. I hate to just toss them in the trash. If anyone wants them, they'd need to pick them up from me in Tysons. Of course, you can also have them to ship things.
