This was the year to get moved, we got a new cabin too

After the year of the mice we have been upgraded permanently to a 3 bedroom Hemlock

It's fixed thanks @Donross

So Amelia is less than 2 weeks old and the cell phone charging cable got caught up into the seat rails and jammed. Mark tried and he can't get it out, it's in there good. I tried adjusting the lever and wiggling the seat, pulling on the cord etc. I'm guessing I need to take her to Passport and I doubt stupid things by owner are covered under my warranty

We can add comments on pictures now!!! Yay

USAA offered 3.49% I got 2.89% with Congressional. Then we got a quote on our 4 MINIs and it was $300 cheaper for a 6 month policy. I couldn't use the buying service because I bought a 2019 and they're not in the system

I've been with USAA for years. Congressional blew them away on my new auto loan rate and insurance rates. I didn't think that USAA could be beat.

Congressional was able to manage my application through email, online and short phone calls when I had a connection. They made it work in spite of my vacation in the mountains. They gave me an excellent rate. The rate is so good that the dealership could not match it and they tried hard. They said it's rare that they can't beat, they got close but couldn't beat it. Communication was excellent and Congressional made the whole process go smoothly." How do I get started? Head on over to https://www.congressionalfcu.org and click "Join Today" on the banner.

I just had a full bonnet clear bra installed

At the end of each generation they create a GP. This one is the GP1 made in 2006 which was the last year of the first gen hardtop hatch. They were limited edition and numbered and a big deal. Then in 2013 the GP2 came out, it's a real beast. Then they release the GP2 reserved color Thunder Gray for regular cars in the 3rd gen and there was DRAMA. Well deserved drama as they expected the color to stay reserved. The GPs are special. The fact that there's a GP1 with 14 miles is a crime and amazing.

I'm not sure it's a 3rd gen thing. Is mostly for 2nd gens, 1st don't have the problem as bad

I think I found it "Play sound to phone"

I don't know if I get other sound, I didn't try anything else. I don't listen to music on my phone. Jeff told me to use MINI connected I have to plug the phone into the USB directly which I didn't try yet. We might need to get together and maybe you can help me figure out the car better.

I paired my Samsung Galaxy S8 with my new 2019 F55 and it's working fine except I noticed that when I run Waze I don't get any sound directions from the phone. In my Countryman I did the same thing and would get sounds from the phone but not though the car's sound system. I don't care how I hear sounds but I do want to hear directions. Any ideas?

Carrier pigeons are better than mice A group boat ride would be a lot of fun

We do need a few club events. The club used to host a run but that was a lot of work. We used to do a Monday night club potluck, but it grew huge and became the Early Birds dinner at the Hub. The hardest part about the club events can be when some people arrive later and others are earlier. Once the event is rolling it's hard to get people together.

Of course you're welcome to join us Corey @1975_mini see I have the etc.... for all the people that I forgot but you know you are invited

yeah, not a la spaghetti dinner. More like cabin dwellers and the regulars that come visit. That's IT!!! Like you, me, Craig, Sierra, Hilary, Corinne, Brandy, Celia etc....

They're usually a little over $100 and they do a great alignment

OK, the mice were bad in our cabin, that was not fun but other than that. Best weather ever on a Dragon week. I had a blast driving other people's MINIs and playing with everyone. It was fun and exhausting as usual. Sierra and I have an idea for next year to get DCMM folks to do our own paint time. We'll do it our way by figuring out the costs and having people pitch in. Buy canvases, some paint and brushes (or bring your own brushes). Then submit a picture to me and I'll get it traced onto the canvas in advance. We're trying to get a better cabin for next year so we could do it on our porch with a view of the mountains. Anyone interested?

That was fast

I love it! I work in DC but not near Capital Hill. I would love it if we can figure out how to meet up

I'm not going to stop!!! It's beautiful here this week. Best weather in years
