Count me in!

I ended up with two cabins this year and would love to find someone to take one over rather than give it up the reservation. If you are familiar with Fontana, it's cabin #1012. It's a 2-bedroom, 2-bath. In theory it can sleep 6 and 1/2 people - one king, one queen, one uncomfortable queen-size fold-out sofa and a love seat that is very comfortable provided that you're short or like to sleep in a fetal position. If interested, PM me before March 30th.

2009 Cooper automatic, 140,000+ miles. About 1/3 quart between oil changes which I typically do every 5,000-7,500 miles.

Oh no! Wont the natural order of the universe be interrupted by your absence?

Today I installed MINI's retrofit 25w xenon headlights on my 2009 R56. In theory they were not supposed to work on my production year model at all. Not entirely true. The lights work just fine. However, the module that is on the passenger side footwell sends a fault code when I start the engine that the lights are not operating even though they are. (I get the yellow headlight with an exclamation point but it goes away after a minute or so.) A MINI tech buddy tried clearing the fault code but it returns. Best guess is that the footwell module doesn't play well with the other updated module. Has anyone else run into this?

The band will sing to Miss Dora on Wednesday night if she & PawPaw go to Party Gras.

When I was mapping out future Skirtapalooza themes, nautical came to mind...but more likely pirate than love boat.

The MINI Skirts' welcome party will be back. What about the kilts??

The shirts are all gone. The only working link now is for the pics from the photo booth that we had a Skirtstock.

This is the link to the Skirtstock Photo Booth. You can order prints directly from Oh Snap if you see any that you want to keep for blackmail...uh, I mean posterity. :laugh: Skirtstock Enjoy!

We've got a couch for rent in our cabin (#1012 Circle Road). We're arriving Sunday afternoon and departing the following Sunday. If you interested, PM me. --Gigi

Oops. Guess I better start finding you a buyer for your GoPro since I stepped on your potential sale to Brian. Sorry!!

OR...you can buy a $5 raffle ticket or two from The MINI Skirts at MOTD and try your luck at winning a Hero 3 Black while helping a woman in Graham County improve her luck at beating breast or cervical cancer. Just a thought. :proud:

I seem to recall a friend who stayed there saying there was a sign posted by management admonishing guests not to urinate in the sink. How many times does something like that have to happen before management posts a sign? :hmmmm:

Shameless plug for Skirtstock and FREE BEER...

Spotty coverage for Verizon and other cell carriers too. 2-way radioes are a must. There will be a general announcements channel and sub-channels assigned to clubs and drives.

Have y'all seen the crazy cool Skirtstock shirts that Cooperation designed? He is so talented! Nathan opened a Skirtstock t-shirt store on Motoring Alliance if anyone wants a t-shirt. http://bit.ly/VNrJTg

It was before my time too. Barry said 2006-2008.

The MINI Skirts are bringing back the musicians jam session. Will you veteran MOTD goers who remember the jam sessions in the past tell me what you liked (or didn't like) about the jam sessions? Why did they end?

Thanks, Mr. Prez. My transmission is in pieces even as I write. Feeling a little nervous!

I need a second opinion. The patient: 2009 R56 Automatic 102K miles. The ailment: Transmission is slipping between 2nd and 3rd from time to time; not so obvious when in sport mode. The quick exam: Tech found transmission oil in the wiring plug; said fluid was a color he had never seen before. The diagnosis: Transmission oil has infiltrated wiring harness probably due to age. The proposed fix: Replace the 2 wiring harnesses in the transmission. First of all, does this sound reasonable? Why would the fluid be discolored? If this is due to age, is it a common complaint for everyone with a 3+ year old transmission?

Thanks!!! You're such a sweetie to do this.

Me too!! I can PayPal you now or would you prefer I wait till you know if they are still available?

The windscreen/deflector was donated by Ferman MINI of Tampa Bay and was valued at $475. $200 is a steal of a deal!
