sherri,
I believe that is the general connecting theme is crowns, unless someone has other ideas. Feel free to build on the idea and decorate festively.
The only other idea I could come up with that was british themed was the christmas carol. not really sure how to pull that off though.
For all,
would we like to get together and make crackers before. I have supplies for about 100. I will be putting my minions to make a few as a test run, but if we want to get together just let me know.
also crackers generally have a korny xmas joke inside, here are a few:
What does Santa suffer from if he gets stuck in a chimney?
Claustrophobia!
Why does Santa have three gardens?
So he can 'ho ho ho'!
What does Miley Cyrus have at Christmas?
Twerky!
What do vampires sing on New Year's Eve?
Auld Fang Syne
Why did Santa's helper see the doctor?
Because he had a low "elf" esteem!
What happened to the man who stole an Advent Calendar?
He got 25 days!
What kind of motorbike does Santa ride?
A Holly Davidson!
What is the best Christmas present in the world?
A broken drum, you just can't beat it!
How did Scrooge win the football game?
The ghost of Christmas passed!
Who is Santa's favorite singer?
Elf-is Presley!
What do Santa's little helpers learn at school?
The elf-abet!
How did Mary and Joseph know that Jesus was 7lb 6oz when he was born?
They had a weigh in a manger!
I have a buch more but you get the idea:rofl:

Sounds Great.:top:

Aw I totally wish I came!!! I have bronchitis thanks to a jerk coworker who didn't cover his mouth when he coughed and wouldn't go get antibiotics. So I decided it wouldn't be wise to risk it. It looks like you guys had a total blast!!!!
You definitely would have added to festivities, it was a fun evening. Hope you get better soon.
-
Great run Alex and Ali too.
Ali navigating is like your GPS having ADD. "At the next round about take the WEEEE!!!!!"
We pulled into our hotel to find 10 to 15 Porsches in the parking lot. At breakfast I found out it is a club, all in their 60s.
The tour was great lot of history and humor mixed into the story telling. I would definitely recommend to anyone.

LOL...well, so much for being special
One of your stubby antennas would be perfect for the mini gift swap this year.:top:
-
This has to be some kind of record lol
Nope, I got you beat Alex. When I got home I realized I won a 4th white me.you.mini bag!!!

By any chance did anyone take a pic of my car??? Never seen my car rolling and thought maybe someone take a pic
Catalina was grabbing some shots as we got on 395 from landmark. Craig had a gopro rear facing on helljumper he may have caught you a few time as you were coming by.
You have to give Ali a pass, she will remember the name of your car first. Lol

I still don't get the whole crackers thing.
they are a traditional xmas gift in the united kingdom, much like candy canes here.

I'm not that illusive
I should have put a comma, the illusive descriptor was targeting the paceman, I have seen many more coupes in the wild then the paceman.:top:
-
We have a good variety of Minis, only missing the illusive paceman and a coupe
-
Well that was fun! :motor: Thank you to everyone for setting it up. I can't wait to see the pictures and videos.
I couldn't stay for lunch but I am curious if I won anything. I am sure I didn't because that is how my world spins.
Thanks for coming out, and you already won you have a classic to motor in anything you want.:top::top:

I didn't make it out to the parade caravan today but I was just at kilroys and didn't see any MINIs
We are all parked out back
-
Catalina, is the MINI shirt with the gears in a women's cut. Want to put in tickets for it but want to make sure it will fit Corey if he wins
You worry about your tickets, I will worry about mine. I don't plan on sharing anything I win. [emoji57]

so, chances are I'll be one of the first people there, so I'll try and snag a bar table or two for us to occupy.
Channel your inner kid on the school bus from Forest Gump, "Seat's taken!!!"

Just had a spark plug blow out of cylinder 3 this afternoon
.Ouch, sorry to hear:banghead:
-
We could also do some sort of British theme to go with our MINIs
Brainstorm away :idea:
A possible uniquely British thing is CROWNS!!!!
Everyone is a king on Christmas! The paper crowns are made of tissue paper and unfold into an actual crown. Adults and children alike don the crown making it a colorful sight. The paper hat was added to the crackers in the early 1900s and the tradition has carried on.
Crackers not the saltine but the twisted paper tubes.

Actually, that would be early early shift. The happy hour is next Thursday.
I need to work on my reading comprehension skills

I get off work at ten tonight is there a late late shift.

If there is no professional photography what if we have people use their cell phones and upload to Instagram with the #DCMetroMINIs tag?
@dcmetrominis will tie them directly to the account and if you #mttb6 they would be group be the event. I think, I am no Instagram expert.

Who's this "Sarah" person?
Sorry, Sara:top:

I may have once told a cop that I didn't see my speedometer :motor::top:
I was doing 45 but wasn't really paying attention as I can down the steep hill there. He was coming the other way I glanced at the speedo and saw 54, oops. He flipped his light as we passed each other so I pulled into that turn off and waited, try to score some brownie points. No luck.
-
We saw you when we were going back up and we were all curious about it. Go big or go home!
Yeah I heard the radio heckling as you all went by. When you have bright orange mirrors and rally lights I don't think the ranger believed that I lost track of my speed.
-
1 mile an hour under wreckless, thank you mini for the 3 mph buffer on the speedo. First ticket in 10 years. 35 is really slow especially on the downhills.

My wife brandy will give you a call once she gets back to the house should be within the hour
Greater Manassas Christmas Day Parade

Sherri,
Unfortunately I am pretty busy this weekend, but I will be at the board meeting on Sunday to discuss the parade event. I can bring the cracker supplies with me if you were planning on attending.
All,
I did some more thinking on the concept for the parade of how to tie all these cars together. I was thinking an exploded xmas cracker. The common components in a cracker are candy, a joke, a trinket (toy), and a crown. So I was thinking a front and rear MINI each with half a cracker like it had been broken open. The other MINIs between I was thinking two with a joke theme, two with a candy theme, two toy theme, and two crown themed. That would be 10 vehicles.
Since Sherri has a Crown Tattoo I feel you are an expert and get to be a crown themed car.
If those identified as drivers please claim a theme, by posting on here. First come first served.
Cracker front: Corey
Candy x2: Melissa & unstable
Jokes x2: Ali & edge
Trinkits (toys) x2: mbiedzinski & Ray
Crown x2: Sherri
Cracker rear: Brandy
I have been asked to present everything to the board on Sunday for the final thumbs up. Please get your ideas or concerns posted by Saturday afternoon so I can be sure they are included.
