Hey fellow DCMMers, we need a run leader for April's open run. As you know, we only had a HSB for March because of the AutoX event, and April is shaping up to (only) have a HSB because of lack of help. Corey & Brandy will be off to The Dragon, and while Mike & I are NOT going to The Dragon this year, we are busy with our daughter's wedding, so we can't plan a run. We really need someone else to step up and volunteer, as this is an ALL volunteer club. It does not have to be an all day run, and if scheduled on the 8th/15th/29th Lorri & Mike can help with the run. ~Thanks, Lorri (STXMINI)

We created a YT channel to wrangle all of the DCMM run videos that are posted on member's private YT channels. You can find the new DCMM channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6CfKtGq4rnA1EUvvqtOnUQ Don't forget to subscribe If we get 100 subscribers, I can change that loooong URL to a custom one that is shorter. ' ** If you have videos you'd like to upload to the channel please contact @STXMINI for access to the account.

Hi Teddy, Are these for a specific MINI?

I'm finally getting around to posting video from MINI Takes The States 2022. Mine are heavy on the drives, with a little bit from each morning rally. I've got day 1 & 2 posted on my YouTube account. I'm also going to be redoing my old DCMM run videos so that they load in higher quality. DAY ONE: https://youtu.be/MGA__BE2A5k DAY TWO: https://youtu.be/iOs4t7vB10A

That looks great, and your Waze map looks bigger then the one that shows up in my OEM nav system

Hey friends! I may be missing some people when sending out the monthly newsletters each month, so I'll be posting them as PDF's on the public events page, just in case you didn't get it. (If you didn't please make sure you let me know so that I don't miss you the next month.) The newsletters are a condensed version of everything that is happening with the club each month, and for those that are not on social media. DCMM February Newsletter.pdf

Welcome! And congratulations on such a fine looking MINI. Looking forward to meeting you at one of monthly events soon!

I had a feeling this would be the date for the Mistress Run. Old Glory DC Rugby has their first home match at 2:00 on this day.

I'd planned to do another push for interest on SM on Sunday (A good day for eyes to see it) any updates I should post about?

Fun day today everyone! Thanks for being willing to come out on such short notice. It was a great turn out for a hastily pulled together run. Thank you to Tom for sweeping, and to everyone for the much needed (On my part ) socializing at Vanish

I'm really sorry to hear about your Aunt. please take care and cherish these final hours. Hugs

That's perfection! Thank you very much.

I've tried all morning to do the OsmAnd gpx file route maker and my poor eyes just can't do it. So it's a PDF instead Sorry young people... New Year's Day Run.pdf

The details are set! I'll post the actual route tomorrow. Please remember to his the "Going" button here:

Awesome! Mike and I are working on details now. Will post later this afternoon.

Event Title: Impromptu New Year's Day Run Event Date: 01/01/2023 12:00 PM Event Address: IMPROMPTU NEW YEAR’s DAY RUN START: 962 Edward’s Ferry Rd (Leesburg House) END: Vanish Brewery 42264 Black Hops Ln Lucketts VA WHEN: Sunday 1-1-23 / Noon About 1.20 hr run ~The STX's are throwing this together and will lead. ~It's an open run -I’ll post the route on Friday RSVP on the event here:

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.

I'll leave this up for one more day and if there isn't any further interest I'll cancel and see you all in February!

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??

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?

Thank you!
