Hey MINIacs! I'm considering the purchase of the 'chrono pkg' gauges 4 Scoopie. Once I get them (after the LEDs are changed), is there any1 here familiar w/swapping from old 2 new? If so, would u consider doing them 4 me and, if so, what would u charge? I'm not gonna get them 'til the end of March/mid-April, so there's plenty of time. TIA!

That is sooo cool! I want 1, 2!!! :top:

While picking up lunch (had 2 work yesterday) at Houlihan's in Herndon yesterday, I spot a lovely PW Cabrio in the lot. As I was walking into the restaurant, I notice a nice young lady w/a blue jersey on that smiled and I smiled back. Go in, pick up lunch, and lo & behold, she's sitting in the MINI! Naturally, I had 2 stop & say hello (her tags were from IN) and compliment her lovely MINI. I was wearing my MTTB 2012 shirt (when working wkends, I always wear my MINI gear, since I haven't been able 2 make many events, it's the only time I get 2 wear them) and mentioned the upcoming MTTB to her. She seemed excited, since she's also Military. She said she just moved here and just may make the event! I gave her a card, so hopefully she'll check out the site and join up! Her name is Heather, btw ... I totally 4got 2 ask her MINI's name, tho ...

Oh, she came back home today! :rock::rofl::motor::congrats::top::ridinghorse::wavey::party::star::tee::birthday::cheers::beer::highfive::dancing2::elephant::dancing:

Saw a blue Countryman today w/the tag: MINIMYS ... :laugh: ... any1 know who that is (female driver)? Love the tag! I couldn't wave cuz I was drivin' that blasted Hyundai ... :banghead:

Saw a CR R53 on the toll road this am w/the tag ZIPNRED. It passed me b4 I could wave, but I've seen it b4 and got a wave. Also saw a HB Clubbie on the same road & got a wave (regular VA tag). :wavey:

Got a wave this am on the 495 express lanes from a PW/B Clubbie w/the tag: BNS&TST ... ha!

Got a lovely wave on the Beltway yesterday on my way home ... PW/B 2nd Gen w/vanity plate, but don't remember what it was.

Ditto!!!

I sent an email ... hope they can fix my CF overlays once & 4 all! :top:

Welcome, Jasen! :wavey: Looking 4ward 2 meeting u & your MINI!

Welcome! :wavey: What's your Mini's name (can't believe I beat Ali on this!)? It'd be gr8 2 see pics as it comes 2gether!

I may be late; still at work & the system picks TODAY to act up, so it's throwing everything back. Grrrrr! If I'm still here at 7, I'll just see it tomorrow. Ugh.

That should be cool, Haemish. :-)

I have yet 2 hear a pop or burble from Scoopie ... maybe cuz she's auto? :questionmark:

Just looked up the Rave theater & the showtimes after 2pm are: 4:10 PM, 5:10 PM and 7:00 PM if u guys wanna make dinner in time. If I can get out early enough, the 5:10 show is feasible; otherwise, 7 is perfect! I'm SOOOO looking 4ward 2 this movie!

Hey, Ali! We sure did! ?

Saw a CR on the toll road this am; pulled over by police. Not sure if it was the same 1 I spotted a coupla months ago, tho.

I hope Scoopie & I will make this 1! Had a blast last time!

Ran in2 Haemish @ PMoA this am! :wavey: It was good seeing him and David! Scoopie's in 4 her 2nd Insp I ... she's over 92k miles now!!!

Oh, wow ... that could've been him, Greg. I just don't know ... he was already pulled over when I saw him.

Didn't get a wave, but saw a SB/W MINI pulled over by a trooper on the WB side of the toll road ... ... hope they only got a warning!

Got a wave from a LB MINI yesterday w/the tag 'Braker'. :rock:

That was my understanding, as well ... MINIs aren't supposed to 'warm up' 4 however long we did w/other cars back in the day. I just wait 'til my temp gauge made it 2 the 1/2 mark b4 turning the heat on. Prior to that, I turn on the bun warmer, which makes it a bit more comfy 'til the car completely gets warm. :top:
