  1. Was it you???

    in Visiting & Questions

    I had a dream that I saw Cricket and waved, What does this mean? I'm dreaming about waving to MINI's :wavey:

     

    That's really funny!! It could be worse, you could have dreams that the MINI gets wrecked or otherwise dies, like I do.

  3. PMoA - Night at the Theatre

    in Events

    Posted

    I signed up to see A-Team and Iron Man 2.

     

    The more important question is, is there a 'permit' fee to bring my own food and drink into the theater? ;)

     

    I checked the theater's website last night for this exact reason. There

  4. Regular Maintenance

    I get Cricket's oil changed every 5000 miles. I take her to Mach V, it's around $85, which is much better than what the dealer charges.

     

    I'm not aware of any problems directly caused by only changing the oil when MINI tells you to (that doesn't mean there haven't been any), but I just can't bring myself to wait that long.

    I've uploaded most of the photos and the clue sheet. However, since this forum is so busy with events lately, I posted them in the Clubhouse. I don't want anyone's event to get buried!

    I had a very spirited run last night around 11:30 on Rock Creek Parkway with a BRG/W Cooper. When we got to Calvert, I turned right and the other MINI turned left. When I looked over, she waved! :wavey:

     

    I saw a ton of MINIs today. None of them waved back, though. However, I wasn't driving Cricket, so maybe that was why? :stupid: If you see someone in a Zipcar waving frantically at you, wave back, it's probably me. :motor:

    Thanks to everyone who participated yesterday!! I'm glad everyone had a good time. That makes all the work worth it! :biggrin:

     

    Thanks to Ali, Katie and Craig for helping, too! I could NOT have done this alone.

     

    I plan to post the pictures soon, hopefu

    Hi,

    Just wanted to clarify something--at the end of the hunt, at Union Jack, do we turn over the camera card to someone? Or do they just look at the pictures on the camera to verify we found whatever we're looking for?

    Everyone is welcome at Union Jack's, even if you don't participate in the Scavenger Hunt. I'm planning on being there by 3pm, so feel free to stop by.

     

    *Please do NOT RSVP is you're only coming to UJ's.

    Hmmm. Placed an order and paid but no PM. Should I be worried?

     

    That's weird, I sent a PM to everyone. In any case, I have your shirt (it's been to the Dragon and back!) I will mail it tomorrow when I mail the new member packets.

    Hey Laura, Glad you all made it down safely and I would guess you are enjoying a cold adult beverage by now. Just curious how long it took Katie and you to get to the MOTD? See ya Wednesday, Brian :top:

     

    It took us a little over 9 hours, I think. Since we stopped for the night on Saturday, it's harder to know exactly and I didn't keep good track of it. Today, we left from Abingdon, VA about 8:30am and we arrived at Fontana around 12:15pm.

    You guys should have the I-40 option directly from I-81, as it is scheduled to open up on Tuesday. I'm probably going to do it this way, since I'm leaving on Monday:

     

    I-66

    I-81

    I-26 to Asheville

     

    Then on from there (40, 74, 28).

     

    A word of warning to anyone else who decides to take that route though... I've done it once before - there are lots of speedtraps on I-26. It's a shame too, as it has some nice fast bends up in the mountains - beautiful drive.

     

    Cruise control is your friend. :smile:

     

    Katie and I have arrived!! This is the route we took (I think... Katie led). We did see a few LEOs on 26, but too bad. I would still probably take it easy.

     

    I was surprised at how quick the trip was. It's possible this was actually faster than the "usual" route.

     

    So far, the weather is beautiful! I've only seen one other MINI so far (besides mine and Katie's) and I've yet to figure out whose it is.

     

    See everyone soon!!

    I have the shirts!! Everyone who placed an order has been contacted via PM to arrange delivery.

     

    I do have extras for anyone who did not pre-order. The following sizes/colors are available:

     

    Royal Blue: 3 large and 1 xl

    Navy Blue: 1 large and 3 xl

    Green: 4 large and 1xl

    Purple: 3 large and 1 xl

    Red: 3 large and 1 xl

    Gray: 3 large and 1 xl

     

    I will be taking some to the Dragon, but Cricket is getting pretty full so if you know what you want, please let me know so I'm sure to have it for you.

    The shirts should be ready on Thursday!!

     

    This means I will be bringing them with me to MOTD. I will send everyone who ordered a PM with my schedule so it's easy to find me to get your shirt.

     

    I'm happy to mail them to you on Friday, but there would be a risk you wouldn't get them in time.
