TGGRRR (Ali)

Can you post a picture? My husband could use a spare set of rims for his winter tires, but they need to fit over the JCW brakes.

Looking forward to seeing you Dale. Are any others from your group coming along?

I've seen the same MINI on the way to work twice now in the last few weeks. It's a BRG S with bike racks and a license plate that says MINSANE He waves!!!! :wavey: I also noticed some custom exhaust pipes

GREAT!!

Sadly, they closed last Wed.

Goodie bags are packed, all participants will get some waterproof sunscreen, a sunsense detection bracelet, a black cancer bracelet, pens, a magnetic black ribbon, some fun MINI swag (tattoos or trading cards) and literature all delivered in a nice reusable bag (you can use this thing for groceries)

Fred is a great name, can't wait to meet him. I used to love that show back in the day.

I just had a blast at Passport MINI. I was there to drop off flyers for the rally. Met two MINI owners who are coming to the rally and interested in joining the club. I gave them the whole club talk and they were excited about it. They didn't know we existed. Ali

The owners at Public House #7 have signed up to be an official DCMM vendor. They are offering club members a 10% discount when they come in and show their membership badge. Public House #7 is an English pub in the 7 Corners area of Falls Church, VA For more details hit their website http://publichouseno7.com/ :beer: :eating: :eating: :eating: :beer:

Oops, I just noticed you said maintenance. I always forget about those. My information is for repair. I just bought one and got the best deal through AAA. I called one place that I randomly found on Google and had a horrible experience, so bad I hung up on the guy. I also spoke to Passport who were coming in pretty high and I spoke to the guy at Atlanta MINI who was just a few hundred over AAA. All were offering 0% interest. I went with the 48k platinum coverage. I think it ran just under $4,000 but Tigger is an '06 with 60ish thousand miles. I have a $100 deductible, but if I go to an AAA certified shop it's only $50.

OUCH! Sorry to hear that. Hopefully you can come to another event soon. Check the calendar, we have a lot coming up Ali

I just want to update people on the event and am hoping I get some of you excited to come and support a great cause!

Mark and I just re-ran the route. It was fun and all my ground work was good, I had very few errors in the first draft of the directions, yippeee. We did discover that one of the roads we were using was totally destroyed in a construction project, so had to do some quick re-routing. Good thing we're quadruple checking our route. We want you to have fun, not get lost. We hit the twisty part of the route and flew through it behind a few motorcycles, some fun roads there, esp when you're not looking at the back of a mini van or an SUV. The route took us about 2 and a half hours and we stopped for a break, I would think you guys will take about 3 hours minimum to get through it. You have plenty of time to pace yourselves, take a break and get a snack, even back track if you miss something. This is a fundraiser and we really do need more participants. If anyone wants to invite their friends to drive in their car, please invite them along. At the end of the route we'll have some fun social time at the pub. Two weeks till we rally!!!!!

He's right as I am replying from Howie the Mac, but I could have just as easily replied from my phone Sammy Samsung :wavey:

We can help you name it if you want I hate to see an unnamed MINI

That was a lot of fun! Thanks Craig for creating a fun run for us into Fredericksburg. It was great seeing everyone Ali

Just did my 6 miles, going to shower then meet up with Quitta. We're riding together in Blur today.

I saw the other HO that lives in Shirlington. She was topless too and we both waved. I see her all the time but never when I can give her a card.

Excellent use of emoticons Quitta

Welcome to DCMM!!!

Hmmmm I wonder what you're doing wrong

I wonder if this is a First Gen clutch pedal thing. At Passport they said they had never seen it happen. Ali

Quitta and I are here

The special is $232.00 for 5 hours worth of massages, What a deal!!!

thanks Craig Passport said it costs about $30. I think it started when I was clutching with a barefoot because the back of my flip flop was catching when I shifted. You're probably right that it got out of shape when it twisted. Annoying I was just wondering if I'm the only one that has had this odd little issue. If I am, then you guys should know, don't shift with a barefoot. Ali
