TGGRRR (Ali) Posted June 18, 2014 Author Report Posted June 18, 2014 Well yeah, but there's nothing remotely close to a decent location to meet over by 50 and the Beltway... Given how much of a pain it would be to coordinate a meet over there it seems to make better sense for me to just meet you guys at the event... But why are you guys going around the Beltway from Tysons anyway? Wouldn't it make better sense to cut through Arlington via I-66 and then over to 395 to catch 295 up to 50 and out? So I'm using my house as a starting place since it's fairly central for N. VA. I live near Passport MINI. To go the way we're going is 62 miles from my house The way you're suggesting adds 20 miles onto it Meeting at Tyson's and going the route I picked puts it at 54 miles So for fun I put my the address of my Dr at Rt 1 and 495 in Alexandria, it did send me the other way around the Beltway at 76 miles, so I dragged it over to pass Tyson's and it came in at 71 miles Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
mbabischkin Posted June 18, 2014 Report Posted June 18, 2014 Where's the icon for egg on my face? Maps are amazing things - and if I looked at one I might be dangerous. With a name like Brits by The Bay I was thinking that it was - you know - by THE BAY... and not almost in the Catoctin Mountains Soooo, all those things I said earlier, ignore that! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

You had me so confused that I had to run the map like 5 ways yeah the name is deceiving. So you're going to meet up with us? I don't know if I'll have Tigger. His super charger needs replacing and he's at Passport. The Super Charger is coming from Germany, but he's drivable, so I have to find out if I can take him while we wait on the part or not. Seems weird to put a Countryman loaner into the car show Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
mbabischkin Posted June 18, 2014 Report Posted June 18, 2014 Well, then mine wouldn't be the only Countryman... Yes, I'll meet you guys in Tysons. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

TGGRRR (Ali) Posted June 19, 2014 Author Report Posted June 19, 2014 I'll have Tigger back for the event. He is drivable but the super charger is wonky and a new one is on order from Germany. So I am getting him back until the super charger arrives! Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman

RichSperry Posted June 20, 2014 Report Posted June 20, 2014 Is there a central parking idea at the show? I'll meet you all there. No matter where you go, there you are!
TGGRRR (Ali) Posted June 20, 2014 Author Report Posted June 20, 2014 Is there a central parking idea at the show? I'll meet you all there. It's at a museum and I'm sure they don't expect every participant to be in the car show so there must be something. Here's the info I have http://www.tracltd.org/BBTB/BBTB14/BBTB_2014_Flyer_Ver_2.8.pdf Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
TGGRRR (Ali) Posted June 22, 2014 Author Report Posted June 22, 2014 I think there are only 4 of us total meeting to caravan. Michael, Ray, Craig and me I plan to leave by 7:45 sharp and hoping that the mall police don't harass us for the 15 minutes that we're there. I'll be at La Madeleine by 7:30 Looking forward to it Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman

TGGRRR (Ali) Posted June 23, 2014 Author Report Posted June 23, 2014 That was a lot of fun and a great day for hanging out. Ray won a prize and at the end they just gave us all of the MINI prizes that weren't won. The Rolls Royce won the favorite in the show. It was a pretty car. There was a black, yes Black DeLorian. A lot of really nicely restored cars and a friendly crowd Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
