UPDATE - SOLD!! I've decided to sell Cricket's boot box. Here's a link to the new ones at MINI: http://www.shopminiusa.com/PRODUCT/400/BOOT-BOX---UNION-JACK I'm asking $50. The Union Jack is scratched and peeling, so I will recover it in a solid color of your choice, if you want. The box itself is in great shape. As far as I know, this will only fit 2nd Gen hatches. I'll add pictures when I get home tonight. Pick up would be in Tysons or Poolesville.

I didn't see you. People were crazy this morning. I was just trying not to die. :stupid:

My plans changed, so I'll meet you in Leesburg for lunch!

Every year I went, I made sure to have a flashlight or 12. I'm pretty sure I took a lantern one year. Never once had a power outage. :stupid: A hatchet? Was this something he normally carries? :top:

You probably did. Traffic was awful, so I took the longer but moving option. I don't usually go home through Leesburg! Sorry to hear about the JCW. That's never good.

I wondered who that was! I waved back, but you probably didn't see me. I flashed my lights, too. :motor::motor:

Barry just posted on Facebook that Fontana has several cabins and lodge rooms available. If you call, talk to Lacy or Lona.

Thanks again for leading this! As always, it was a lot of fun, even if the weather wasn't perfect.:motor::motor:

That's it!

There's a rest area on 66 just after Manassas. That's where Katie and I would meet when we drove together.

I'm pretty sure we've only hit the limit once and that was a few years ago. Even then, I don't think we had to turn anyone away.

Cugini's is hosting an Art Show and Vendor open house, today, Saturday April 1 from 11am to 3pm. If you are looking for something to do, this looks to be a lot of fun. I'm here with my vinyl cutter and DCMM members get a nice discount! Here's a link to the event: https://www.facebook.com/events/1209855339129932/ They have a great beer list right now, especially if you love IPAs! Last night was their Hopfest and a lot of the beers are still on tap. *Usually Cuginis events are 21+, but today all ages are welcome!

If we're short, I'll order another one.

It didn't occur to me that I could just buy the clips. I thought I'd have to replace the entire headlight ring! I just ordered some from Out Motoring. Now Cricket won't look as weird. :top:

On my way home tonight, there was a 3rd Gen Brg/black Cooper on 495. She pulled along side of me and gave me a very enthusiastic wave and thumbs up. It made a yucky commute a whole lot better! :wavey: :rock:

I love these! I'm not sure I'll make it to the Dragon this year, but I'll be getting a shirt!

I need it to secure the inner nut that is fixed to the brake bracket. Here is where I'm getting my information, I don't just know that off the top of my head. https://www.northamericanmotoring.com/forums/tires-wheels-and-brakes/168597-r56-front-rotor-replacement-diy.html

Here you go! ces.landsend.com/DC_Metro_MINIs The new logo hasn't been added yet. It will be coming soon.

Does anyone have an 11/16 slim wrench I could borrow? That seems to be the only tool I need that I don't have. I'm willing to buy one, but I'm running out of time to get one.

I have a bunch of MINI shirts to get rid of. I've got them with me, so I'll bring them tonight. They are mostly women's size XL, but they really fit more like a Medium/Large. Free to anyone who wants some, I just want them to go to a good home! :top:

It's going to be really nice today, maybe we can sit outside?

It's for the solar sensor for MINIs with the automatic air conditioning option.

Sorry for nearly causing you to go deaf! I rarely see anyone and if so, it's usually impossible to wave due to traffic. I might have gotten a little excited.

That's exactly why I did it!

I'm pretty sure we aren't going to make it to this one. August is a busy travel month for us.
