I booked a room at the Inn again in one of their outside cabins and that was $79 and that sounds fair to me.

See you all at MOTD 5 in 2007

Yikes! You may have spoken to a newbie, because the "old-timers" sure know about our MINI Cooper Club discount. Ask for Meredith next time. And it is not a MOTD discount! Be sure to say MINI Cooper! As I've mentioned, you will pay the equivalent of one undiscounted day's stay as a deposit. When checking out, the discount is applied to the whole stay. Hope that helps.

 

Just this last time I had an Inn room referred to as a "Garden Level" room. It was another set of stairs down from the "Poolside Cabanas". It was actually a pretty nice room. Quite a bit larger than the Inn rooms that are actually in the Lodge (at least based on the one I saw). The 06 price was $62 a night (I believe, I wasn't paying too close of attention).

 

I think you are right, they were called Garden Level rooms. This year I stayed 2 buildings down from the actual Inn, which is the space where someone in a purple Lotus Elise stole my parking spot the night of the farewell dinner.

That was queenB's lovely Lotus! And how gallant of you to let her "steal" it from you!

 

how many purple cars does she have!? i'm jealous. LOL.

 

....except that particular night the driver was Hotelcalif. I was very late and illegally parked.
We'll just say Moskito was being kind to the elde.............oh, hi Honey.


Between the two of us we actually managed to have three cars at the Dragon to play with.
When people ask me how we managed to do that I can only say that Phil Wicks is a heck of a driving instructor.

 

Well QueenB, I think it was Hotelcalif who let me sit into that Elise "for size" about an hour earlier, so how could I be offended when I find it then a bit later right in front of my room?
I can't speak loudly though that I am considering a Lotus Exige, because I think my MCoupe would be quite upset.


No worries though, I am not after a purple one, I want either silver or orange with black wheels.

You'd best whisper as cars have big ears.

We did a run yesterday in the Lotus with Spindoc. He lead the first drive with the MINIs at the Dragon in 2003. He has passed the MINI to his son and is in a nice Storm Titanium Elise. We had a nice little Lotus rainbow. No Exige though.

Is it off topic if you have the word Dragon in the post?

 

I'm totally fine with seeing your rainbow tribe of Loti, sweetie!

 

It is really funny how many Elise owners have a MINI or Mini in the family. Three of thirteen there have both Lotus and MINI.

 

I was very keen on getting one when they were about to be introduced, but then I realized that my knees are not good enough to get in and out of them! And I learned about them on the various MINI websites I frequented! Many of my early 2002 MINI pals wanted them, so I am not surprised that many Lotus owners have MINIs, too!
