Event Title: Luray VA Run-New Date! Event Date: 10/20/2024 10:00 AM to 10/20/2024 02:45 PM Event Address: Please join us for a Sunday run to Luray and back through Virginia’s rolling countryside. Our drive will begin at the Walmart in Haymarket where we will head west through the rolling countryside of Virginia. We will make a quick bio-break in Front Royal before heading to one of the finest twisty roads in the Shenandoah Valley. Nicknamed the Valley within a Valley, Fort Valley Road will wind us along Passage Creek before rising to Edith’s Gap Lookout where you will see a stunning view of the valley towards Luray. A quick 90 degree turn at the base of the mountain, over the South Fork of the Shenandoah River, and we will arrive in Luray, Virginia. At this point, we will have a bite to eat in Luray before beginning our drive back to Haymarket. We will wind our way over the mountain and under Skyline Drive before cruising through the quaint town of Washington. We will continue traveling on some twisties until we reach our destination of The Farm Brewery at Broad Run. If you would like to head to Luray Caverns and break away from the main group, just let me know when we stop for our bite to eat, and I will give you directions to the Caverns. So, if you like quick twisties, beautiful scenery and relaxing old town charm, you won’t want to miss this Little Virginia Journey.

Hi Andrew, welcome to DCMM, I'm sure the gearheads on here will be happy to engage with you on all things MINI repairs

We're excited that you found us Mike. I think you're going to love your MINI, for a car guy, the JCW is the way to go, lots of power packed in that lil' MINI. The one thing that new MINI owners probably don't know about is the MINI community. We are a very active world wide community with events ranging from MINI Takes The States hosted by MINI USA themselves, down to local clubs events in every state. Please let us know if you have any questions
