GreenCactus Posted December 5, 2011 Report Posted December 5, 2011 How about a happy hour before the holiday weekend starts? When: Thursday, December 22, 2011 at 6:30pm Where: Public House No. 7 6315 Leesburg Pike Falls Church, VA 22044 For those of you who have not been here before, the pub is located across Rt. 7 from Red Robin. It's next to a Sunoco station (with a touchless carwash!). There is plenty of parking. Bonus: You get to meet my parents (if you haven't already).
GreenCactus Posted December 11, 2011 Author Report Posted December 11, 2011 Ali - I have a job for you!! You need to name my parents car. They've had her for over a year and she still doesn't have a name. She's a purple (I think it's called "cinnamon") Ford Edge.
TGGRRR (Ali) Posted December 11, 2011 Report Posted December 11, 2011 Oooh Ok let me think on this. I don't know what a Ford Edge looks like but the color is cool. Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
Edge Posted December 11, 2011 Report Posted December 11, 2011 Ali - do these help? (direct from Ford's site) I don't think it's a "full" SUV, but a "crossover": "Mr. OEM" - 05 JCW (TK, GPIC, SS, GPTA, R56 RSB, StBr, R56 BBK, GPWhls, SV, RS, R56 GSI, IES, StrWhl, GK, HG, LBIT) MCS, HB/HB, Packs: 1, 2, 3 & 4.

GreenCactus Posted December 11, 2011 Author Report Posted December 11, 2011 Yep! That's it! Same color, too. It's definitely an SUV, but it's not huge. They get a lot of snow, so they need something with decent ground clearance. A Countryman would be perfect for them, but they bought this before the Countryman came out. However, my dad has a 2004 Sebring Convertible that might need to be replaced soon. I know he really likes the MINIs, so there's a possibility he will look at them when he's ready to replace Roady. Two things he's said about MINIs: After taking an entrance ramp pretty quick, he said, "Um, you don't slow down for turns." All of the MINI owners are really nice! I had no idea it would be like this. (after MINI Takes the States).
astarte Posted December 13, 2011 Report Posted December 13, 2011 have him get a coupe roadster--I'm loving Legend of Isis and she's insanely comfy (mmm punch leather seats of happiness and a burbling exhaust) and the trunk is crazy big.
GreenCactus Posted December 19, 2011 Author Report Posted December 19, 2011 My parents had to replace their heating system unexpectedly and will not be arriving until Friday, so they won't be able to make the happy hour. However, I'll still be there, though it might not be at 6:30. I have to let the dog out, unless I can run home at lunch.
TGGRRR (Ali) Posted December 19, 2011 Report Posted December 19, 2011 I can be there by 6:30 Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
TGGRRR (Ali) Posted December 20, 2011 Report Posted December 20, 2011 Are we meeting in the back room or the front? Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
Poison Ivy Posted December 20, 2011 Report Posted December 20, 2011 I say the back of the room. It has more character and is closer to the bar... coming from the gal who only drinks mimosas! :-)

GreenCactus Posted December 20, 2011 Author Report Posted December 20, 2011 Since we're going to be a small group, I say we try for the back room. I'm not going to make a reservation, since there's only a few of us, but if RSVPs pick up, I'll let them know.
GreenCactus Posted December 24, 2011 Author Report Posted December 24, 2011 My parents arrived yesterday. I am happy to report that Ali's naming services are not needed. Their car has been named "Louise".
