Here it is Alan

How do we attach them to the car? Masking tape?

This morning as I parked my car in the garage I saw them directing a nice chocolate brown (I don't know the official color name) MINI into a spot near mine. Well you know I killed some time and then introduced myself and gave her a card. It was so new she had paper plates on it. She said she used to be a member of the club, so hopefully she comes back. Then rotten day at work, with a crazy PM Then heading to an appointment down the GW Parkway and I spy a Horizon Blue MINI, the driver tooted and waved. I was so happy and waved back. As he passed me I saw the JCW badge. About 10 miles down the road and after passing 4 non waving MINIs I saw him again as he was stuck in traffic in the right lane and I was passing. He waved again and yelled something, but I couldn't catch it. I had an SUV up my butt, so I couldn't slow down enough to chat. The waves made my day! :wavey:

Just living up to your license plate

booooo :tomato:

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

From what I saw last night it looks like it's just going to be partial rain, not a big ugly wet day. So I'm hoping it will all be fine.

How do we add all the cool new ones to our collection?

Oooh yeah, Craig and I can start a detailing service during the government shut down. (like how you just got a partner Craig?) I will be working on Tigger sometime Sunday, others are welcome to come over and join me. I'll look at my schedule and see when will work. Probably in the afternoon. Celia is coming over anyway for me to sew her Shnuggie design so we could be detailing and sewing at the same time. Does Sunday afternoon work? If so, we can do that. Just PM me for my address as I don't really want to put it in the public forum. Ali

And they will all wave :itsme::motor: :wavey: :motor:

Soon we'll have more handsets then drivers. I am going to be testing out my new hands free handset configuration. I've tested it on a tiny run, but not on a full club run. Ali

I even got a pic and posted it on FB

One emoticon that I'm waiting for a chance to use is this one, it will be good when someone is espousing on and on about something... :alberteinstein: So if someone could please go on and on about some point, it would make me happy

Uh, at Gordon Biersh

More, more, we need more!!!! :wavey: Like one for detailing the car would be nice wax on, wax off

I will bring two extras also

You can definitely stomp on it more! :motor: The backfiring sound you are hearing is built in to the Gen 1's, I think I read in the owners manual that it's to mimic the sound of the classic Mini. I love the sound. I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of your principal. Hopefully we'll get to meet you at another run. Ali

I remember it well because it was Mark's first run and we were switching off driving. I remember it being different routes because we had different stops on the way there and back. Like on the way there we stopped at a grocery store, and on the way home we stopped at a Fire Station with General store. Does that help?

Last year we motored to the tavern, had a nice lunch and motored back to the start location. I think the way back was a different route then the way there. I'm sure Haemish will pipe in soon, esp if I skimmed something and got a detail wrong :embarassed:

I don't think we're going to a vineyard, I think we're driving by them and going to Griffith Tavern Ali

If I'm not mistaken, Alan is the guy that coded all the extra emoticons!!! :thrasher: My emoticon hero :proud: :highfive:

Alan has proved his manliness by not being afraid of the emoticon! Look at all the manliness in the Emoticons :viking::thrasher::bandit: YAY Alan :top:

:itsme: I had a siting recently

How else can we express ourselves? :party: :hmpf: :marshmellow: :motz::trytofly: :dead::y: :bootyshake: :cheers::ciao: :aetsch: :alberteinstein: :bawling: :beer: :highfive: :girlslap:

I have a hose and we usually have some open parking, we could handle a few cars (4 - 6) coming over and working in the parking lot. I can ask my neighbors if we can use their spots for a few hours so more then one car can reach the hose. Right in the heart of K-Town, but not exactly Annandale, we're in Alexandria near the Pinecrest Golf Course Ali
