Poison Ivy Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 So, I got an MRI today and I have two bulging discs in my lower spine so the parade and especially the unicycle is almost certainly a no-go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBeest Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 Sorry to hear about your predicament Catalina. Hope you get better soon. I'm in FL and return on Dec 2nd. I can walk or bring DBEEST to parade. Let me know what you need and I'll be there first thing on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYRican MC40 Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 I was talking with Brandy on Sunday (should have made the comment earlier) and she mentioned lunch after the parade. I was thinking we can go to 234 in Manassas and there are various places to eat. We tought that Logans Steak house would be a good option. Any toughts?

DBeest Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Just got back to DC so I wasn't able to make prep party. Don't have time or a home to work on a theme / decorating my car so I'll walk. See you at 7 at PT Tuning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TGGRRR (Ali) Posted December 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 So it looks like rain. I'm planning to take some clear packing tape and sealing my signs. We should waterproof our decorations to the best of our abilities Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbiedzinski Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 How is everyone applying stuff to their cars? I'm concerned about damaging the paint or leaving residue afterward. Additionally my decorations were designed to be used with the top down and no rain, so I'm not sure what to do now. I have a big stuffed bear I was going to tie onto the boot too, but I don't want him all wet either. Suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali also said gaffers tape which I will have some there. Gaffers tape will probably work better in the rain and won't harm the paint. Blue painters tape will leave less residue but I know from autocross it won't stick well in the rain. If you're really worried about your paint apply a light coat of wax or detailing spray first to help with removal later.

mbiedzinski Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 There's a diner called the Jukebox Diner on 234. The food is decent, but more so I've seen them host some car events in their parking lot. They'd probably enjoy seeing all the Minis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TGGRRR (Ali) Posted December 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 I'm looking at the weather and it looks like we should be OK while we prep the cars, during the parade we might get light rain and the heavier rain will be in the afternoon.

TGGRRR (Ali) Posted December 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 I have waterproofed all of the jokes and chatted with Mike at P-Tuning. If it's raining we can pull the MINIs inside, dry them off apply decoration and then send them back out :top: I know Haemish and I will need to do that.

unstable Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 Are we going to be able to get to the staging area from P tuning? I just looked at where P-Tuning is on the map, and they are past the end of the parade route, which means for us to get to the staging area we need to drive up the parade route. Do we know what time they are closing the roads? Brian 2006 British racing green with black roof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
