Poison Ivy Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Do you mean the Country Club View neighborhood off 123? If it's a red and black clubman then that is probably our club president, cmcveay. I grew up in that neighborhood too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, the blacked out Clubbie is Merlin. There's a "justa" hardtop down Portsmouth a ways. If the garage doors are open, feel free to drop in or check out "Garage Mahal" on FB. We have things going on from time to time. As far as the black trim, I might be able to help you with that. I seem to have developed a reputation as a "chrome killa" and there's a growing following! 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon "Homer" 2012 MB/CR JCW R55 "Merlin" Sold 2009 LB/LB R56 "Archie" Sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHILLIN Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 I thought I saw Merlin going the opposite way on the parkway when I was driving home from work today. Once we passed I knew it wasn't though since it was missing the dark windows among other things It was right around Popes Head where I saw you before though.

TheMichael Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Does Rigsby ever make it to the DEA building in VA? I saw a red R59 a few weeks ago near work and I thought it was cool to finally see one that wasn't parked at a BWM/MINI dealer. :rock: ah, the question is, where is work?
