STXMINI

Did @SneakyBaron take this pic? It's awesome!

Will a bottle of wine at Big Cork do it? lol

Don't forget that drive sign ups are tomorrow morning at 9:00 am!!

CLUB MEMBERS: We're looking for someone to lead a Hop, Skip, & Brew in March PROS: Short run, you pick the date, we'll help you with set up, someone will help while on the run, you'll be known as "Capn' Fun" from now on CONS: ...we're still thinking...

Thank you Laura, I'll put you on the calendar

Nice looking MINI!

That sounds great. The dates are completely up to the drive leader, we do both Saturday and Sunday runs. Not sure if Corey will be here on Sunday the 27th however (Hopefully he'll weigh in) due to his responsibilities with MINIs On The Dragon which starts April 29th. If he's not, I'll make myself available to help with your first run if needed, I'm not leaving for MOTD until Monday.

That's fantastic! When you have a date in mind, let me know, meanwhile I'll put you on the schedule You're going to have a great time at MOTM, beautiful country up there and a well planned event.

Great! Thank you @Brandy_Brown I got it on the schedule

Oh she (He?) looks like she's going to be a lot of fun on the backroads. Looking forward to meeting you both. We have a few runs already set up to start the 2025 season if you're interested. As as a Forum member the first Open run is on Feb 22: Mistress Run, but if you're considering joining (Paid membership) check out our Member's only runs here, and join us on any one of them to see if we're a good fit, "Try before you buy" We'll see you out there.

We are also registered, looking forward to hanging out with everyone!

Love that!

@Widdie We're definitely going to miss Jill! @Duke I think we all need to see it then!

I think the Hawaiian shirt crew needs to make another appearance at MOTD

Nice!

@Brandy_Brown We will need Rey's address please

Ok, Chef Michael said he's making Paella, and we'll do a double white elephant too

Ugh, hate to pile on, but you all know I’m not the cook in the family. I’ll try to get the Chef to tell me what we’re bringing asap. We’re participating in the white elephant gift exchange, but question, is it a per person or per couple gift exchange?

That’s awful Evan, first and foremost I hope you are ok? I’m very sorry this happened to you and to your new MINI. Hopefully it can be repaired or replaced quickly and you can get back on the road soon.

Nice! Let me know when you want to go live with the Social media push

Mike refused to go unless I promised we could do the Corey Hellbender again

The best place to start is the MOTD website. A little dated in the looks department, but very well laid out for information! The most fun place to stay is at Fontana Village because that's where all the action is. I'd start by giving them a call to see if they have any rooms or cabins available (I got lucky last week and snagged a cabin) don't forget to tell them you're coming for MOTD because they offer a discount. If they don't have anything available, ask to be put on the waiting list, but keep checking back with them. Cabins & rooms open up all of the time as reserved rooms get released leading up to the event. Next: Register on the MOTD website between Jan 17th-Apr 13th. And register your BF too because on a lot of the day drives there is a "Person" limit (Not a MINI limit) so each "Person" will need to RSVP separately to any day drive you want to join Next: Read over all of the day drives and events and be ready to sign up for the runs you want when drive registration opens on Feb 15th. Some of the more popular drives (Like Corey's Hellbender drive) will fill up immediately, so try to snag those first I am not an introvert, but I do have anxiety to the max, I create a spreadsheet of each day's activities so that I'm not overwhelmed. There's so much fun to be had!

We initially thought we weren't going to make it to MOTD this year, but our plans changed, and when I called Fontana they had a cabin open, so looks like STXMINI is returning to the Dragon this year! Anyone else heading down?

We have been working hard behind the scenes to bring you new DC Metro MINIs merchandize. Our new store is NOW OPEN! ←Click here

Members! We would love to have a few more people step up to lead runs this year, Of the 100+ members last season, only 5 non Board members led runs If you're interested in leading a run, the calendar is wide open! Choose your date and let us know if you need help with the planning. (If someone has chosen the month that you'd like to volunteer for, no problem, we can have multiple events in the same month) We'd like to once again thank @Widdie @Brandy_Brown @GreenCactus @MINIFIED & @Egadd for helping to fill out our 2024 calendar, we appreciate you!
