TGGRRR (Ali) Posted November 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 I had a blast and was happy to offer my navigating expertise to Alex. The stories were fascinating and the guide was an awesome story teller. We were all really happy that it was indoors but those pew benches got really hard after awhile. Now I have no desire to stay in one of those quant little inns in town.... Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBeest Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 It was a great afternoon. Thanks Ali and Alex. And thanks Haemish for letting me borrow your radio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1975_mini Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Great run Alex and Ali too. Ali navigating is like your GPS having ADD. "At the next round about take the WEEEE!!!!!" We pulled into our hotel to find 10 to 15 Porsches in the parking lot. At breakfast I found out it is a club, all in their 60s. The tour was great lot of history and humor mixed into the story telling. I would definitely recommend to anyone. 1975 Mini 1000, 998cc A+ w/ K&N air filter, 10" Mamba wheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandy_Brown Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Here are a few of the pictures I was able to capture from yesterday. Being the sweeper had its advantages, and disadvantage of none of my car. Passport got some good photos too. Was a great time. Here is the link to all the photos: http://s1299.photobucket.com/user/buckshot2191/library/DCMM%20Runs/Harpers%20Ferry%20Run http://www.dcmetrominis.org/forums/image.php?u=1132&type=sigpic&dateline=1367319111 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephatron Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Aw I totally wish I came!!! I have bronchitis thanks to a jerk coworker who didn't cover his mouth when he coughed and wouldn't go get antibiotics. So I decided it wouldn't be wise to risk it. It looks like you guys had a total blast!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miniwife Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Roy and I did the drive again yesterday. He had a lot of fun driving it and I had a lot of fun looking at what I missed. We parked in the lot at White's Ferry and had a look around for a few minutes and watched the ferry going back across. There are 3 flood stage markers painted on the 2nd story of the building there. Can you imagine the water that high?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
