cameroon Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 Awesome, congrats on your new MINI and we're looking forward to see you and your new baby there. Thanks, I definitely hope to make it. If I don't have my Mini by that point then I'll just hide my Hyundai Accent around [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

cameroon Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 I think they've some mod on their suspension, light weight rims, good tires and ......... awesome drivers. Actually I guess I could see that, power-wise an Accent might be competitive with say a JustACooper. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Maxicooper Posted February 25, 2009 Author Report Posted February 25, 2009 And with its lighter weight, yes. Accent is competitive compare to MC.

Maxicooper Posted February 25, 2009 Author Report Posted February 25, 2009 No strict rule at all. They love to have spectators, to be honest. For me, joining CDC events is more like picnie with friends. Always fun !!!! There will be couple of MINIs joining the event. It will be fun just to watch.
cameroon Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 Cool, so will yours be one of the MINI's joining? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Maxicooper Posted February 26, 2009 Author Report Posted February 26, 2009 Fortunately, those pictures have been classified for further study. But you will see "live" one on the 4th.

Maxicooper Posted February 26, 2009 Author Report Posted February 26, 2009 From the FAQ on the website it looked like you could run the event without being a member, it just cost an extra $10. Is it more complex than that? You're right, you don't need to be a member to join. The difference is mem
cameroon Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 You're right, you don't need to be a member to join. The difference is member can make a reservation before hand and at lower rate. If you live near Frederick, they will also have their first event on Mar 28th and 29th. @ Harvey [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
