We can. Just walk in.
-
Well, it is more convenient to buy them ahead of time.

I love Rustico, but on a Friday night it might not be the best option if we end up with a bigger group. It's always very crowded and I'm not sure they take reservations. Also, good luck on parking in the lot. However, there's lots of street parking, so it's still not a problem.
-
Parking won't be an issue, it's not in Old Town. There's a huge lot and I've never seen it full.
-
It could've been me! I didn't see any MINIs tonight, but I was focused on traffic, so it's possible I missed you. I was on 395 around 5:30-40. I still have my autocross numbers on and my plate is "CRICKET". If you did see me, I'm sorry for not acknowledging.
-
Have him check for parking tickets. I'm not sure how it works in other areas, but in DC, there is no cross check when a ticket is issued. That's how I found stolen cars when I worked for Zipcar. Here's the link to the DC website: https://prodpci.etimspayments.com/pbw/include/dc_parking/input.jsp?ticketType=P

Just to clarify, the cling that is the problem is the 10th Anniversary cling, not the regular DCMM cling.
-
I got a wave from an EB/W MCS in Crystal City this morning! It made sitting in traffic not quite as bad.
-
I just took mine off and the same thing happened. I've got a lot of clings on Cricket and this has never happened before.
-
I've taken 522 before (by accident), it's a fun road!
-
I haven't seen it, but I live down the street from where it lives. I'll drive around a little tonight to see if I can find it. Most places have garages, though.
-
I saw him today and he had the top down!! No wave, but I was in my office, so I wouldn't expect one. I got a wave yesterday as I was getting onto Rock Creek from a dark silver MINI with a really nice black and yellow graphic on the side. I think he had Florida plates... I passed a red Roadster on Rock Creek (under the Kennedy Center) tonight, but no wave. Though, I didn't either because the car in front of me was being difficult.
-
I don't care for them. However, it's not my MINI.
-
I see this guy too. I've never seen the top down, even when it's a nice day and he never waves.

Could the maybes please update? There's a big difference between 7 and 18 cars. Thanks!! :top:
-
I got one this morning. I didn't answer, but I called the number back (it was an 855 number) and found out it was Passport. Shortly after that, I got an email from Andy, one of the MAs, asking if I had attended the event. I told him I had and I haven't gotten another call.
-
I haven't heard anything otherwise. I'm sure PMoA will just move it inside if it's still raining this afternoon.
-
It is all paved and most of the roads are in very good shape. There are a couple of roads that are a bit rough, but nothing out of the ordinary for a "back" road. I think the worst part is the speed bump on the road after we exit the ferry.
-
It doesn't hurt that the weather is supposed to be nice! Maybe we could all go for a little drive after? :motor:
