Yes, I'm arriving Tuesday eve, staying with the Shadwells in a cabin (don't know where yet!). I'm attending the Welcome dinner, Deep Creek drive, Fireworks, Dragon Parade, Cherohala/lunch, River's End for Dinner, Panoramic Photo (happy to help with that this year if possible), of course the ice cream run, and the Farewell Dinner. Had to try some new events this year.

I might be interested in the other bedroom, if you're still willing to share.

Dan, So how are these different from the springs currently on the Clubman? Mine's an 09.

So how do you use PayPal for this? There's no instructions on how to pay for this event. I already missed out on the t-shirt thing because there were no instructions on how to do it.

Yes, it's mine. I took your excellent advice on tires to Mach V and they fixed me up quite well, don't you think?

Thanks! I have checked in in a couple of days, so I'm behind but I'll be reviewing your spreadsheet and maybe trying to find Mach V this Saturday. Really appreciate the help on this!

Thanks for the advice so far, and I'd like to see that spreadsheet. I'm pretty sure I want all-season, not necessarily RunFlats, and I'm thinking of new wheels anyway because I'm not crazy about the "standard" wheels I got, so 16 or 17". I saw some nice ones on TireRack.com.

Well, I also have a AAA card, so I guess I could get along with not having runflats--never had them on any other car--but I've never compared "section widths" or "diameters" before. I also wondered whether I'd be better getting 17" wheels. My driving is mostly commuting but I do love those Mini runs!

So, for those of us who don't know that much about tire options, I could use some advice. My 09 Clubman S needs a new set; it came with Continental ProContact SSRs 195/55/16. The dealer and TireRack seem to both agree that that's the best replacements, and I want all-season tires since I live in a condo and don't have room to store an extra set. Opinions? Recommendations?

I should be able to make it but not til about 11. Save some crumbcake!
