Poison Ivy Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Craig, could you please clarify the "DC and Maryland club members:" part? Does that mean that those benefits apply to DCMM and C3M club memebers, or only to those who reside in DC/MD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that mean that those benefits apply to DCMM and C3M club memebers, or only to those who reside in DC/MD? I am reasonably sure they mean DCMM and C3M. :top: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bert Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 :hahaha: John, "all classics leak a little-that's how we know we have oil in them!" I love it. That reminded me of a VERY OLD joke as to why the British auto industry stop putting radios in their cars in the 70's... because they couldn't find a way for the radios to leak oil too. (I said it was an old joke, not a great one.) I love the classics and can't wait to see Monty again.

IndiCooper Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 yes still at the same location, we have about 10 customer spots out front, all the spots on the side are inventory and the small lot in the back are for service cars, we've talked to the funeral home and there are no funerals saturday so we have the whole parking lot.:rock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 There is more shade in the funeral home parking lot too. Then, a telephone pole would provide more shade than the MoCo MINI lot. There are a bunch of spaces to fit us all, people on Rockville Pike will not know what to make of it.

Bert Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 This came up on an earlier thread but I wanted to raise it here. If you want to wash your MINI before going to MINI of MoCo on Saturday, there are 2 Flagship Car Washes pretty close to the dealership and both locations are just off Rockville Pike on the east side of the Pike. They both have the standard car wash but they also offer 6 to 8 self wash bays with industrial vacuums before each bay. You have to use a change machine to purchase tokens but I might by able to buy a few extra tokens from any DC or NoVA people that have extras that they aren't going to use. http://www.flagshipcarwash.com (check out the addresses) Depending on where you are coming from here are the 2: North Bethesda - the closer one is south of the dealership behind Bagel City, diagonally across from Hudson Trail Outfitters. Rockville - the other is north of the dealership, past downtown Rockville (city center), just past the Giant. Full Disclosure: Yes, I know the owner but I am not getting a commission.
