    I’ve got to ask Mark and see if he wants to. My MINI is all bundled for winter. If we come I’ll be in the Audi and Mark would bring a MINI. I know the rule non MINIs in the back

    Mark said it sounds fun

     

     where are you planning to start?

     

    The start would be a general consensus, Leesburg or Poolesville since we'd probably be using an existing route. I wouldn't mind if other cars joined. I was just thinking it's going to be a nice day and maybe some of us would like to get out of the house and socialize, since we've probably been cooped up with the cold weather and the holidays.

  6. New Year's Day Run?

    Looks like it's gonna be 55° Sunday afternoon. Any interest in a short run to a brewery for lunch? I'd be happy to lead. I would probably just recycle one of the HSB run's from last year, and make it a little later in the day, probably a 12:00 start??

  7. Sound system upgrade for GP3

    Greetings!!

    I'm a recently registered member. I drive a 2021 JCW GP3 and just completed a sound system upgrade but having lots of problems either with voltage or bad wiring. Can someone direct me to a good stereo installer that might be able to help me? Thank you

     

    Just curious, because it's a 2021 could you not take it to the dealer and have them look at it under warranty? Or have you tried that route already?

    OK, so it's (very) late, but I just confirmed today that I can indeed make it to MTTB tomorrow. However, the ability to RSVP appears to be disabled (?), presumably separate from the "packages" that are sold out... ?

     

    I'm not sure what to do at this point besides show up and handle it that way. I saw it looks like I can still buy a lunch ticket, but I'd hate to do that and waste it if the numbers are already finalized/capped. 🤔

     

    Both the lunch ticket and registration are still open. I know some people have been having trouble registering with their phones, which is on the OSC end. Both links still work with a PC though. If not, we are going to be taking donations at the event. Corey has ordered extra lunches just in case, and you can also pay for that at the event.

    I think I registered? I won't be able to attend the whole loop but will stick with you guys for a bit. I'll be in a Pepper White R56 S. Hopefully I'll be able to attend more events in the future!

     

    I'm not sure if Corey has updated the registration list yet this morning, but I don't currently see your name. Please come to the event and we'll get it sorted there.

    Anyone else having trouble registering at the charity link?  I've tried to register multiple times and it won't go through (says "High Risk of Fraud").

    --MCFox

     

    I don't see your name on the registration list MC, are you still having trouble registering?

    Tagging @SneakyBaron @1975_mini in case you need help.

    I last drove my car last Tuesday evening. I parked in the garage and went inside. The next day I went out to the garage to pack the car for a road trip. There was a beeping sound emanating from the center console area of the car. The car was off and had not been run since the previous day. I started the car and the beeping persisted. I'm not sure how long it was beeping before I discovered it. I had to go out of town so I went in my husband's car. My daughter told me on Friday that the car was no longer beeping. Has anyone else experienced a beeping sound emanating from the center console area of the car while the car is off? I will need to take it in next week but thought I'd ask here to see if this has happened to someone else. Thanks!

     

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

    My wife and I are looking forward to the event, which will be our first event as first time Mini owners.  I love a pickup, but these are fun to drive and Victoria is really happy I was able to find one for her.

     

    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!

    Looking forward to this event.  

     

    Quick question, one registration per car? Or is it one registration per person?

     

    Lunch is clear, one ticket per person :) 

     

     

     

    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

    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.
