Did ya hear my new exhaust?
GreenCactus replied to TGGRRR (Ali)'s topic in Maintenance & Modifications
MINI of Falls Church has one, too. -
Claymore traded his MINI for a M Coupe last summer.

Amazon has a package with Adobe Photoshop Elements and Premier for $70 today. It's their "gold box" deal. Just an FYI in case anyone is interested in these.

I was going to put it on Craigslist this week, but if you're sure you want it, I'll hold onto it. I'd rather deal with someone I know. :itsme:

Free: Queen-Size mattress. I've only slept on this for a couple of months, before that it was very rarely used in a guest room. I decided it's just too firm for me, so I bought a softer one. It's in good condition, no stains and no bedbugs (eew). It's free, but you need to pick it up. I'm in Falls Church.

Considering all you have done for DCMM and the MINI community, it's the least we could do!

Mike - what mount do you have for your ipad? I've been looking for one of those.

Very few extras will be ordered and ONLY the men's crewnecks. How to order: PM me with what you would like, please be sure to include which shirt and sizes. Once we have reached the minimum, you will receive a Paypal invoice. Shirts will be distributed before MOTD. I will take them with me if I have to, but it's much easier to get them out before we leave.

I've seen a few near Woodbridge, along Rt 1. I used to use one in Rockville, off of 355. Sadly, they are not common in NoVa.

I agree, but I signed up anyway. I created one.

Annual Post-Holiday Party at The Black Squirrel
GreenCactus replied to GreenCactus's topic in Events
If anyone is planning on taking Metro, there are a few options. Take the Red Line to Woodley Park - Zoo - Adams Morgan, walk south from the station to Calvert, East on Calvert to 18th Street and south on 18th. It's about a 15 minute walk. You could also take the Green line to either U Street or Columbia Heights. They would be about a 20-minute walk from either, with U Street being slightly closer. -

Some say... The Stig is a regular at the Black Squirrel. -
If we did one contest per month we could make a calendar with the winning photos. We would need some help, as this stuff starts out fun, but if the same person is responsible for organizing every month, it gets tedious. Since we have the photography day next Saturday and we're going to be in a garage, how about the February theme be "Indoor MINIs"?

Also, the garage is less than a block away. There shouldn't be an issue with finding parking unless you want to park on the street. Since we have the entire floor to ourselves, there's no need to worry about not being on time or not having a seat. It's lounge seating, so small benches and tables and a bar. -

FYI... If you are under 21, please let me know if you are coming by Sunday afternoon. I need to give the Squirrel a list. Thanks!
