TGGRRR (Ali) Posted December 11, 2012 Report Posted December 11, 2012 How come the RSVP won't let us add a guest? Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
GreenCactus Posted December 11, 2012 Report Posted December 11, 2012 How come the RSVP won't let us add a guest? When creating an event, the default is "0" guests. I edited it, so you can add a guest now.
minime331 Posted December 12, 2012 Report Posted December 12, 2012 For the gift thing do we get assign a name? STella- 14' Focus ST Roush CAI, Cobb access port stage1 tune, custom Ptuning 3" exhuast, Levels FMIC, Turbosmart BOV, rally armor mud flaps, more to come.
Poison Ivy Posted December 12, 2012 Report Posted December 12, 2012 Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's not a secret santa so it's not gifts for an individual pre-determined person. It's a gift exchange so you draw numbers. Those who bring a gift get to participate and draw numbers which is the order that you get to unwrap or "steal" a gift that has already been unwrapped.

er. Posted December 17, 2012 Report Posted December 17, 2012 Pardon a stupidish question, but what's the Garage Mahal? Is that someone's house?
68wmcs Posted December 17, 2012 Report Posted December 17, 2012 Pardon a stupidish question, but what's the Garage Mahal? Is that someone's house? It's the McVeay garage, a lot of people have gone there to mod their MINI's. And so it's been named the "Garage Mahal". 03 BRG MINI S: Sold! 05 PW Scion xB: D2 Coilovers, XXR 531 16x8, Yakima rack, Yakima basket, WINK, Plaid interior, and a whopping 108 HP!

cmcveay Posted December 18, 2012 Author Report Posted December 18, 2012 Pardon a stupidish question, but what's the Garage Mahal? Is that someone's house? Not a stupidish question at all! As Mike said, Garage Mahal is just the name we've given to the garage attached to our house. We frequently open it up to members who need to do work on their cars and, at times, we host events like mobile window tinting and most recently, a very, very successful "Paintless Dent Repair Party". I've got a pretty good collection of tools (some MINI specific and others are general). Thanks to the generosity of a club member, we also have a Bently manual for the 2nd Gen MINI that's kept up on top of the tool box to answer questions. The "Garage Mahal" even has it's own facebook page where we post pictures of events that take place. 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon "Homer" 2012 MB/CR JCW R55 "Merlin" Sold 2009 LB/LB R56 "Archie" Sold

Stephatron Posted December 22, 2012 Report Posted December 22, 2012 She's the coolest. Sometimes I put a sticky note on her and send her into someone's cube with a message HAHAHAHAHAHA you are my hero. I can see you doing that.
Stephatron Posted December 22, 2012 Report Posted December 22, 2012 I won't RSVP just yet because I am uncertain of my work schedule but I think I will be there
smoke789 Posted December 29, 2012 Report Posted December 29, 2012 I'm getting really excited about this year's party. It's only a week away! We have our gifts ready for the exchange; already wrapped. We're still working out what we'll make for the pot luck. ... besides Sangria.
TGGRRR (Ali) Posted December 29, 2012 Report Posted December 29, 2012 I'm so excited about the party!!! :rock: Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
smoke789 Posted December 30, 2012 Report Posted December 30, 2012 So... 18 cars so far. I think I'll go give all my neighbors a courtesy visit this week. :vroom:
Brian0758 Posted December 31, 2012 Report Posted December 31, 2012 I am so ready to hang out with my MINIacs . Still trying to figure out what food to bring. Looks like there will be plenty of desserts. If you haven't done so please post what you are bring. Might have to bring a sleeping bag since the end of 2012 has been stressful and I need to have a few adult beverages :rock: 2012 Jeep Rubicon
Poison Ivy Posted December 31, 2012 Report Posted December 31, 2012 I was really looking forward to attending, but my mom informed us that she got all of us a cabin at Massanutten for that weekend to celebrate my birthday. I hope you all have a great time!
smoke789 Posted January 1, 2013 Report Posted January 1, 2013 Catalina, I'm sorry to hear you won't make it. Family trumps! Hope we'll see you at the next event.
TheMichael Posted January 3, 2013 Report Posted January 3, 2013 Well, gee.... only a couple of days away and I have zero idea on what to bring for the potluck. Perhaps some homemade bread?
