I'm planning on staying overnight... Understand most wont, but that's my plan. Plus I want to enjoy a day off and not get up at the crack of dawn!

I think I'd want to meet up no earlier than 8:30. Apparently this has morphed into a thing now! Awesome. I'll do some detailed planning this week and post "an agenda" or something.

No worries, this wont be very formal... just a good thought for a long weekend.

Nope, no changes to this thing yet. Going to keep it original for value sake.

I do this on the side for arcades and small business, so naturally the next step would be to expand into the car realm. I have a lot of colors in stock and can pretty much make anything as I have the full suite of vector programs and a close friend that is an Illustrator expert. Examples below. Thanks! Sizes (30" wide by however long you need!)

These were going to be put on my '09 MCS when I upgraded to the Brembo Brakes, but I ended up upgrading the entire car! These are brand new never used in the original packaging. $200 OBO.

I have the original 4 16" RIMS from my '09 MCS that I need to get rid of. Asking $100/each OBO. These became pointless when I upgraded to my '13 JCW GP so I'd rather get them off to a good home. They are not on the car any longer. One tire is probably flat, so keep that in mind. Great for a second set of RIMS to support Winter/Summer Tires and to keep all Mini Gear on the car. Thanks!

I'm arranging the Dragon Back trip for 5 July. I am going to get up early and drive out that way... stay the night and do some National Park Visiting the next day. Apparently, it's pretty beautiful out that way. Plus a couple hundred bucks in food, gas, and lodging is worth it. Everyone is invited to drive out if they want to come... I mean seriously, whats a better way to celebrate freedom and democracy from the UK than driving our English Born cars?

5 from Falls Church.

Naturally! Looking like a solo trip since all of my buddies drive trucks!

Thanks all! I'm loving it so far. Already planning a trip to The Dragons Back in SW Virginia over 4th of July!

Thanks, <24 hours so far and absolutely love the GP. The S was great... but the GP is AMAZING.

Hi everyone, I am Jasen. I have been a proud Mini owner since 2009 when I picked my Cooper S up fresh off of the boat in Stamford, CT. It was a real beauty. I had grand plans to do a lot of upgrades to it this summer... until two days ago when I dropped it off at Passport to get the JCW Brembo Brake kit put on it.... Instead of getting the brakes installed when I dropped it off I ended up buying JCW GP #381 and trading in my S. Incidentally, I joined the forums a few days before upgrading... so i went from a hobbyist to a no-kidding enthusiast making Mini the first car I ever bought two of! Look forward to sharing stories and seeing what happens with the club. Most likely will join to partake in some of the driving runs, outings, etc. Jasen
