Hey Melissa,
I bet Mach V motorsports could handle that easily. try them at http://www.fastmini.net
Others may have additional suggestions.
Down here in Hampton Roads I"d suggest Atlantic Auto Werks, but that's a ways away.

Everybody has covered most of the things ya need to know so far, so I'll just agree and say we're a two MINI family too. The kid has a 07 pearl yellow MCS and we have a 09 Clubman S. I got ours, because when he went away to college, I lost my fun car. Of course we had to have the F150 totalled to get the MINI, but the stars lined up right and a big ol' Buick found the front of the truck. With the truck paid off, it was MINI search mode "on" and we ordered our Clubby. With the daughter chils getting her license soon, it looks like we might become a three MINI family. Sounds like a good reason to get a Cabrio!

Waiting for more details! It'll be good to actually go north for an event! West and south is getting a little old! Can't wait!

maacodale... little did you know, but Craig is actually an honorary lifetime member of DCMM. We are very well acquainted with him.
He doesn't get much time to come to events, but he has always been a wonderful supporter of t -
For T shirts try Craig at Evergreen Graphics. He does shirts for a bunch of MINI clubs across the country and has done our shirts for a while. He is absolutely awesome. Give him an idea of what you're looking for and he'll knock your socks off. If you w

Have we decided if we're starting at National Harbor? If so, are there any nice hotels around? I plan on heading up Saturday evening.

We had a NC state trooper escort on part of the MINIpalooza run a couple of weeks ago. Probably 10 miles or so on the highway. That was too cool!

Any chance of getting a police escort for the beltway?

This sounds like a blast! Count us in!
Wait, I'm an old oval track racer. Please tell me we're doing the outer loop. Not sure I can do right hand turns for that long!

Awesome! My wife is so excited to hear the difference it makes on her car. What other mods have you done to the Clubby?
as of right now, that's it. I have a set of springs at the shop waiting to go on once I get off my butt and order a set of Hotchkis lower control arms. The Kids MCS has the ALTA CAI and their Cat back exhaust. I will be getting one for the Clubbie in the near future. His car definitely pulls harder than ours. I know he's lighter, but that shouldn't make that much of a difference. It's gotta be the exhaust.

We have the ALTA CAI on our Clubman, and it's the same as the one we put on the kids 07 MCS. Makes great noise and gives you a seat of the pants feel on acceleration too!

Oh yea, another Laser Blue MINI in the world! We all know Laser Blue is the best!

Hope y'all have fun and wish I could make it. Looking forward to the pictures!

I'm not sure about the UV resistance with electrical tape. Plus, I think it will shrink over time. That's what makes it good on electrical connections. I'd call any shop that sells paint and body supplies. If you have a Mattos up that way they're good. (I spend about 3 grand a week with them!) You can buy 3M tape in several different sizes and probably 60 different colors.

I have this pic with stock wheels taken a while ago at Yorktown Battlefield. We have cannons down here in Hampton Roads too!

This must be a good MINI Saturday! Y'all have your Ice Cream run, Hampton Roads Club MINI has our dinner at the VA Diner with a drive over and a ferry ride back and Tar Heel MINI's has their dinner down in Washington NC.
Hope y'all have a good time! M

Sounds like a plan Laura! We have 4 MINI's from Hampton Roads making the trek up your way starting at 6AM. That should give us plenty of time to get there.
