If there is anyone that did not order a shirt the first time, we are looking into doing a second order. We need a minimum of 24 shirts and we have 13 on the list so far. If you are interested, please email your order to me at greencactus2007@gmail.com and put "MTTB 2nd Shirt Order" in the subject line. I will confirm with you whether or not we are able to do a second order. If you filled out a form at the event, there is no need to send me an email. Please submit orders to me by Friday, November 23, 2012. Please choose from this list: Mens or Ladies Short Sleeve Crew Neck: $15 (s-xl), $17 (2xl), $18 (3xl) Mens or Ladies Long Sleeve Crew Neck: $20 (s-xl), $22 (2xl), $23 (3xl) Ladies Short Sleeve V-Neck: $20 (s-xl), $22 (2xl) Pullover Hoodie: $28 (s-xl), $30 (2xl), $31 (3xl) Zippered Hoodie: $36 (s-xl), $38 (2xl), $39 (3xl)

There were 64 cars!

I just tallied up how much we raised today. $1382!!! This does not include proceeds from the shirt sales or the restaurant. Thank you to everyone who participated and donated!!

I think we have some serious problems if there are cows on the Beltway!

If you're going to be working in Arlington, it will be a lot more convenient to live in VA. I also work in Arlington and lived in DC (Adams Morgan) for awhile. The commute wasn't bad at all because I was very close to Rock Creek Parkway and it was a reverse commute. It took about 15 minutes. However, if I took the Metro, it was closer to 45 due to having to transfer lines. I live in Alexandria now (right on the Alexandria/Arlington border) and my commute isn't too bad. Driving it's just under 30 minutes and that's due to traffic. If it's not rush hour, it's closer to 10. If you're looking for a MINI shop in VA, there is Mach V in Sterling and MINI Dynamics (they come to you!).

I wasn't going to buy any. Way too expensive and too much work to paint a whole car, but yeah, research before spending that much.

Wow. That's not good.

I found a plasti-dip alternative. It's really expensive, but if you're wanting to do the entire car, it might not be a bad alternative. Also, it comes in any color you want! http://www.alsacorp.com/paint_wrap/paint_wrap.html In case you don't want to get rid of all of your chrome, you can use this... http://alsacorp.com/strechchrome/index.html

I thought you both got something too, but I couldn't remember.

They didn't do 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Mario and Luigi (Catalina and Geno), "The General Lee and Uncle Jesse" (Craig and Lona) and the Delorean from Back to the Future (Steve) won the "big" prizes. Everyone did a great job and we had an amazing turnout. Can't wait for next year!!

There are more, but these are the ones that were on my phone.

I already sent David a number, so we're fine. However, RSVPing is always important!

The second batch of Paypal invoices was just sent. If you have placed an order and have not received an invoice, please let me know. Today is the last day to place your orders!!

No. After doing that once it became clear that was not safe. We are usually in one of the center lanes.

The app is great until my iphone battery dies. I'll just make sure to have both, just in case. The app has an air horn, too. :top:

We have met the minimum for the t-shirts!! If you have ordered, you should have received an invoice or an email/pm asking for more information on your order. Please let me know if you ordered an did not receive one or the other.

Here is the link to the Wikipedia page for deer whistles. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deer_whistle

When I lived in Indiana I had deer whistles on my car. I had just as many close calls with them as without them. While I don't think they hurt anything, you wouldn't want a false sense of security because you have them.

I was just working on the t-shirt orders and we are not even close to the minimum order, which is 24. I will not be sending invoices until we reach the minimum. If anyone has not placed an order, please do! The deadline is October 24! Please PM me your order. There will not be any extra shirts for sale at the event, so you must pre-order.

If you have ordered a t-shirt, I have not sent out invoices yet. I hope to send them out on Sunday. I will post here when I do send them.

Not the best picture, but you get the idea.

Cricket did that two years ago.

Tigger is dressing up as an elephant???

It's 1" wide, which I think is too wide for Tigger. It's from Prostripe. I'll bring it with me on Saturday. Well, I'll try. It's in a box, so I'll bring it if it gets unpacked.

Ali-I have gunmetal pinstripe tape that is the same width as the beltline. It's yours if you want to try it. It's a big roll, so I'm sure there's enough for a few MINI's.
