STXMINI

Sorry you're not going to make it this year Scotty. We had the same problem with finding a place, especially since we didn't want to stay at Fontana again. Our rental is a good 25 min drive from the events at Fontana because we booked so late, but we figured, hey, we're there to drive those back roads anyway!

-Mike and I will be there, but we're in a VRBO off of White Oak Rd near Robbinsville. It'll be DCMM MOTD Eastern Headquarters because @Laura H and @evantyler will be our roomies, and of course little Minni dog will be there too! -We're signed up for the Welcome dinner, Cabin Crawl & Bingo-save us 4 seats! -We're arriving on Tuesday leaving on Saturday -Let us know if there's a DCMM family dinner again this year, and count us in please

How funny was it that you were there when I called them today?

Of course I'm going to love this because I have the same car in the "S" version!

Welcome back! Look forward to seeing pic of the new MINI. Always love seeing a JCW F60

We take our MINI to Premier Autowerks. They are certified BMW mechanics and are in Frederick

WTTS looks like an awesome summer contingency plan! -NY: Normally we wouldn't miss a chance to head to Mike's hometown of Buffalo (Although late October is a huge roll of the dice weather wise) but we'll have just returned from our two week, 60th birthday celebration vacation in Italy the weekend before, and we really don't want to head right back out the door the next week. -CA: Having been to all of the places in CA, I think the CA event will be the best, but I'm not going out west again! -FL: My Pops live near Ft Myers, so even though Florida is a weird choice, we may do that portion if only to see him before the event. Still on the fence, but booked hotels rooms just in case

Not sure if I created the event correctly, but I wanted to start the conversation here in DCMM. -The only state that works for our fall schedule is Florida. But for just 3 days? With the prime season cost of hotels? And places I've been to many times before? I'm just not sure it's worth it But, if a MINI gang of DCMM-ers are going to FLorida, I could be talked into going

Sorry about that, I should have said that I'd create the event on the calendar, thanks for the reminder!

We're going to retire from the April Great Falls run because it's just too far for us, it's a popular run so I hope someone else will step in and do it this year. That being said, I think we'll revive the "Run For the Roses" on Sat May 16th, it's an open run
