STXMINI

Thank you, we're looking forward to meeting you!

@1975_mini Can Steve still buy a t-shirt?

I haven't had this happen to me, hopefully some of our more experienced MINI owners can help you out with this one!

I believe it's Post #176 in Springfield, but I'll have @1975_mini confirm that for you

My husband feels the same way, bought the MINI for me, but he has such a great time driving it too. Plus all of the MINI events and MINI lifestyle, we have met some great friends, and had some really fun times in our 2.5 years owning one. Look forward to meeting you both at MTTB!

@tpomalley is having trouble signing up for the event, will someone please add her to the rsvp? I am unsure how to do that @SneakyBaron or @1975_mini

Sorry for the long wait Tom, but I double checked with Corey on this one. You may register per MINI but there will only be one swag bag per registration

We are aware that there is a misspelling in our logo, Corey is working to get that corrected

My dog is still at the vet recovering from her teeth cleaning, so it doesn’t look like I’m going to be able to come.

I've got to switch my rsvp to maybe. I forgot my doggo is having a teeth cleaning/extraction on Wed. if she is home and resting comfortably I will come on down for HH.

Then we will explore Fredrick County, winding our way up to West Virginia for our lunch stop. Our final leg brings us down around Summit Point, and back into Virginia, ending at a great Vineyard. ***Each leg of the Drive is Approximately 1 hour*** Start Point: The Leesburg Public House, 962 Edwards Ferry Rd NE, Leesburg, VA 20176 Pit Stop: Weis Market, 1201 Dutchmans Creek Dr, Brunswick, MD 21716 Lunch Stop: Parking lot Picnic, 85 Maddex Square Dr, Shepherdstown, WV 25443 (McDonalds, Dairy Queen, King's NY Pizza, Food Lion) End Point: Beaux Vineyard, 36888 Breaux Vineyards Ln, Purcellville, VA 20132 Timeline: Driver’s Meeting: 1000 Wheels up: 1015 Arrive at Pit Stop: 1105 Depart Pit Stop: 1120 Arrive at Lunch: 1235 Depart Lunch: 1345 Arrive at End Point: 1500 We understand this is a longer drive and we welcome those that may only want to do one or two of the legs.

It's looking like it's going to be a beautiful day on Sunday, I'm looking forward to this run!

Are we ready to make a calendar event for this?

Sunday Sept 4th 2:00-9:00 Not a MINI event, but is anyone going? Mike and I will be there. We went last year and had a great time, even though it rained all day. https://locomusiciansfestival.com/

I purchased from U-Haul https://www.uhaul.com/Trailer-Hitches/

I got mine done at U-Haul (2020 F60 Countryman) I was only able to get a 1 1/4 receiver but it holds 2 bikes with no issues. The Tech that did mine in Hagerstown said that they are often contracted by the dealerships to add them for clients because most dealerships won't do them.

Sept 21 is an open date. We are having our annual club meeting (25th) and the Tri-State HSB (18th), which puts all of our activities for Sept in one week, what's everyone's thoughts on that?

For those of you not on social media, and may be new to the run, or just forgot, only our 3rd stop, Misty Meadow Farm has lunch type food. (South Mountain Creamery has some baked goods, and the last stop in Virginia, Backstreet Brews, has a small lunch/brunch menu) If you do not wish to wait until the 3rd stop, or wait in the looooong line at Misty Meadow, you may want to bring a bag lunch. South Mountain and Misty Meadow have tables for eating. **I have warned Rocky Point and Misty Meadow that we are coming (South Mountain always seems to be well staffed)

Bumping this up. We are still looking for someone to suggest a place for our September Happy Hour. Any ideas??

Nice turn out last night, thanks again Tom for setting everything up for us.

This looks great Tom, I've deleted the other event, and updated the Facebook event page
