I’m in Roadster Negotiations right now... Gretchen doesn’t want to go, so I have to see if Sonja is available.

Event Title: MINIs Take Poolesville Drive and Fundraiser for MTTB
Event Date: 11/02/2019 02:00 PM to 11/02/2019 06:00 PM
Event Address:
RSVP on the event here: MINIs Take Poolesville Drive and Fundraiser for MTTB
Let's raise some extra money for MTTB by showing off our MINIs in Poolesville!
We will be meeting at Starbucks in Leesburg (1011 Edwards Ferry Rd NE, Leesburg, VA 20176) and then cross over the Potomac on Whites Ferry. (The Ferry is $5 CASH one way). We will then take a scenic run though the backroads of Poolesville before heading to Cugini's where we will show off our cars and hopefully raise more $$$ for Operation Second Chance with a 50/50 Raffle.
Timing:
2:00pm - Meet at Starbucks in Leesburg (1011 Edwards Ferry Rd NE)
2:30pm (approx) - Meet at the Maryland side of Whites Ferry
2:40pm - Begin Poolesville Run
3:30pm - Arrive at Cugini's
End time - I said 6:00pm, but you are welcome to stay later or leave earlier. There are several other restaurants in Poolesville if pizza isn't your thing. Also, Markoff's Haunted Forest will be open later in the evening for anyone who wants to be scared.
*Cuginis is a bar and kids are not permitted on the bar side, however, there is a back room and a dining room where kids are allowed. We will likely be in the back room. Dogs are only permitted on the patio which is very small and also the smoking area.

Sunrise valley Dr, right near Reston town center
Are you in Commerce Metro, by the Wiehle-Reston Metro station?

I might be able to make this. If I'm in Tysons, I won't, it just takes to long to get there. I might be working out of Reston next week, so if that's the case, then I'm more likely to be there.

Thanks guys. It was a lot easier than I thought. Today I'm going to attempt the hood stripes.
Where did you order the stripes from? They look great!
I'm planning on wrapping my chrome, too. I have the 3M 1080 in Satin Black. I keep saying "I'll do it this weekend" and then I don't.

Due to the potential for rain and lack of interest I have decided to cancel this event.
If there is anyone that is still interested in going, please PM me!

I'm keeping an eye on the weather for Saturday. If it's raining (or rain is likely), I'm going to cancel. Since the winery is outside, it would not be much fun if it was raining.

Event Title: CANCELLED!!Run to Windridge Winery
Event Date: 09/07/2019 10:00 AM to 09/07/2019 01:30 PM
Event Address:
CANCELLED!!!
There’s a great new winery just outside of Poolesville, so let’s go!
Start: Carderock Park Carderock Recreation Area
We will start at Carderock and take some fun roads for about an hour to Windridge Vineyards in Darnestown.
The venue is entirely outside, so dress appropriately! Bring a picnic as they don’t serve food. Well behaved, leashed dogs and kids are welcome!
After the winery, we’ll decide what we want to do. There are lots of good roads and good places to eat nearby.

HydroMax is one of the best products I've ever used!

Last Saturday, Michael and I were heading up to Frederick and on some of the back roads around Poolesville and another Roadster came flying by! It was a Pepper White JCW with Maryland plates. It was really fun to see another Roadster, especially around there. (Yes, the driver waved)

My building is having a blood drive through Inova on July 24, 2019 and we are very short of people.

Free!!!
I have a Thule roof rack that I used on my R56 a couple of times. I bought it second hand and it’s in rough shape. Includes the fairing, but I don’t have the keys for the locks.

Set of Hawk HPS brake pads.
HB560 F. 677
Purchased for a 2007 R56 S with stock brakes. Box is a little beat up, but pads are still shrink wrapped.
Detroit Tuned is currently selling these for $110 (same as I paid a few years ago). Asking $65

my car is in the body shop until Wednesday so I'm going to miss the rescheduled date...
You should come anyway! Not necessary to have the MINI with you.
-
I got a wave from a Volcanic Orange 2-Dr F56 on the beltway this morning. It had black stripes and "37" on the side, like the JCW Racing Team cars. I think I've seen that MINI around Poolesville, too. Is it anyone here?
-
I just looked at the website and it says they are sold out. :(
-
He tinted mine, too. Highly recommend!
-
Is this still happening tomorrow?
-
I like it!
-
I did a quick search and this is apparently a known issue on cars with larger sunroofs and there seems to be a class action lawsuit against BMW (it was not clear if MINI was included). It would probably be worthwhile to call MINI USA to make sure they are aware of the issue.
I agree that your insurance should take care of it though. I'm glad you're ok. That had to be really scary.

Is changing the center trim on the grille to red on a non-JCW Mini frowned upon? Is it as bad as adding an "M" badge to a non-M BMW? I'd like to personalize my Cooper S and I like the look of the red center trim on the grille, but I don't want to be a poser (as the BMW fans call those who add M badges to non-M cars).
I think it’s your car and you should do what you like. You’re putting red trim on it, not putting a JCW decal. Personally, I think the red will look great!
