Tigger has 92k on him and going strong. I invested in a custom paint job a year ago. I maintain him very well and I have kept an extended warranty on him to help with any repairs that have come up. I still want coilovers and will get them as soon as I can afford them. I just plan to keep him as long as I can keep him running. Do you plan to keep yours long-term?

We did great!!! I'm exhausted, probably should have put the top up but it was such a nice night

That was soooo much fun. This scrooge is feeling happy and merry.My favorite was the house in Alexandria with the coordinated music, reindeers leaping through the woods, the house roof raising and dancing trees. WOW!!! They didn't have lights like this when I was a kid. It was a fun adventure. I hope we do it again next year

Oh wait, I can't get slugs, there's no room in the back for anyone it's full of photography lighting equipment.

What a great idea!!!

They will give you a cabin just to get you to stop calling

I hope you guys get in. Keep calling since different people seem to have different answers. What gets me is every year we see a few empty cabins, how does that happen? One year the cabin across from us had some bikers that got the cabin that weekend. Last year the cabin across from us was empty the whole time.

Ahhhhhh geesh stupid cold has seized my brain.

Thanks Al "Lack of care, spinach or knowledge" ? Is there a typo here or some new auto term relating to green leafy veggies that I should know?

That's how it feels to me You know I found new little things about my MINI for a few years. There's all kinds of goodies that you don't notice at first

I have a first gen '06 which is from before they made a sport button. But when I drive my husband's '09 I always use the sport button because it makes the steering feel more like my first gen's steering. I like the weight it adds

Thanks for setting this up Justin

People go down on different days but almost everyone goes home on Sunday. Usually smaller caravans get arranged. The trip is 550 miles each way and I personally don't like a huge caravan for that long. You get into more road rage issues. My husband Mark and I actually spend two days heading down but come back in one day. I hate that drive home... When we get closer, there will be caravans forming up. We organize it in the MOTD thread or the clubhouse. Some people don't want to advertise on a public forum when they are leaving for vacation so then it gets organized in the clubhouse for privacy. Caravans can be 2 - 3 cars and rarely over 10 for this trip

Craig and I are doing Glamour Shots of the MINIs again this year. The sign up process will allow people to make an appointment when you sign up for the event. So if you wanted to do it this year get in there fast for the good times. The best is the early morning light when we might get fog.

Ok, well I'm glad we got that sorted out. I'm going to delete this thread because it doesn't belong here. I just wanted to let the people that are subscribed know. Cambo - I think you found the ski trip thread in the membership forum so you should be good.

Get on the list for Fontana, you might get in. Then make back up plans to be safe. Here's a good list of recommended places http://minisonthedragon.com/lodging.php

And we wonder why the newbies get confused on the details....

It came to my attention that with all of our Dragon brains we don't mention the date of the Dragon here. MINIs on the Dragon is always the first weekend of May and it starts on the Wed prior. Many of us go the entire week The official website is http://minisonthedragon.com/ Accommodations are difficult in Fontana Village but if you book early enough (like now) you can get within 15 - 20 miles of the location. Any newbies that have questions please post them here

Woo hoo we're at 21 Should be a good time

I confirmed our reservation for 5:00. They will not seat us until the whole party has arrived so please be prompt or we all have to wait. If you can't make it please update your RSVP. I told them we have 18 for yes but a few for maybe. When we get there tomorrow I will assume that anybody that is still set to maybe is a no so that I can provide a firm number. If you are coming but might be late, please let us know Looking forward to seeing everyone

Mission accomplished!!!!

Team Annapolis and team Mo Co are in National Harbor

We ran 3 minutes late, just left Annapolis
