I did have to go to work but I will be bailing early I need to get some grass cut and then finish up with some shopping. Then I plan on packing up my clothes and getting the MINI loaded. I am thinking about heading down on Sunday and either getting a room at the Lodge or maybe stopped somewhere on the route. :top: I am sooooooo ready for some curves :motor: and frosty beverages:beer: in the evening.

Not sure if I could do Monday since the their hours are only 11-4. We can figure things out when we are all at the Dragon. :top:

While at work not wanting to be here, I was thinking about food I would love to have lunch at the Filling Station one day during MOTD. Their Cuban has been voted " The best Cuban sandwich around " :rock: Here is the link to their website . . http://www.thefillingstationdeli.com/ Anyone interested :questionmark:

I quit looking at the weather because it is so hard to predict around Fontana. Being surrounded by the mountains it can be raining all around the area but the Village is dry. I am so so ready to get outa here :banghead: and head down :motor: I am know thinking it might be worth leaving Sunday, staying somewhere about halfway and then plan on an early arrival on Monday :questionmark:

I saw her interior leather when we installed the harness and you might want to retract that offer or plan on a long day

I would be in very very bad shape if I did not eat :eating: any solid foods

Very quiet day at the office so I am making a list With the number of people attending I am trying to decide if I should bring food this year :questionmark: or should I just stay on a liquid diet :beerglass::hmmmm2::beerglass:

Are we going to have a contest on how many pairs she brings this year

If you are arriving early, I would plan on joining the rest of us since we do a few runs before the crowds show up on Wednesday :motor:

I might help get rid of some of that :top: Plus I heard that Lona loves Rum

Great job with run and thanks to all the organized :rock:

I just replaced mine at 50K. I threw a code and Jan at RMW said that it was a sign that the damper was starting to wear out. Since 2 others in the club just replaced theirs I decide to do preventive maintenance and replaced with a ATI. You are more the welcome to take a look at the old one and decide if it is worth using.

Over 1100 attendees

Anyone else having problems downing loading the route sheet :questionmark: I click on the link and it says "you do not have permission to access this page" :banghead:

Just over 4 weeks until the Dragon :party: And boy do I need a week off to chill with my MINIacs

I was pleased with my times considering this was the first time I every autocrossed :top: Too bad I ate 1 cone on my best run

Phil, Once the times are posted for the afternoon session, can you post the link here so we can find them? Thanks Brian

Here are of photos http://www.watsonsontheweb.com/5503506 that a member of National Capital Chapter of the BMW Car Club of America took during the runs

Did you miss the second half of the day? They set up a full course during lunch and before running it, we did a walk-thru with the instructors and they explain what we should be looking for. What a blast it was :rock:

Had a blast today :top: Don't know about the rest of you but I AM TIRED :sleep:

MINI washed, tire pressures adjusted, all fluids checked, interior organized :top: I think I am good to go:motor: Just need to remember water, lunch, chair and a cooler in the am

The only mod currently on my list of stuff I want to do is a GP intercooler Once I have some money saved up I will bite the bullet and buy it :top: The other mod on my "when I win the lottery" is a Quaife differential :biggrin:

Not unless you do some engine mods

Hey Audrey, I agree with Craig that you really should try to go to MOTD :top: You would get to hang out with a bunch of cool MINIacs and do a few runs. You never know what the gas prices will do and you will probably spend the same at MTTS :motor: Plus you can save some cash by taking some runs with me :itsme:or I am sure, other DCMM'rs would love your company See ya soon, Brian
