Dom is registered and says he'll be here.
Penn now has 3 "stripper pink" Minis. All of them are stock Coopers except for the custom paint.

It's should be mid 70's for the highs, and in the 50's at night. I can get warm on the top floor of the parking garage, and remember to wear sunscreen.

Probably on Wednesday, I'll put a widgety thing on the website with the 10-day forecast from Weather.com. You might have to click it to get the 10-day though. Their widget builder isn't as friendly as some others. If anyone can point me at a more easily customized 10-day forecast that I can drop in, please let me know.

Wash water in the garage?

Sorry if this is a repost...

Just wondering if there will be a faucet somewhere in the parking structure to fill up my collapsible wash bucket to give my baby a quick bath during AMVIV? I'm hoping I don't need to fill it in my room and lug it - filled - to the garage.

Also, what is the radio channel being used? Since I am also not 100% sure when I am arriving... last on the wed night I think.

Always channel 7, sub 21, it's the official unofficial MINI radio frequency.

No hose bibs available in the garage - during the last few AMVIV there was a 'detail' company for hire.
There are a couple of "U-Wash" car wash companies nearby and Agro has them listed (with maps) in the official AMVIV booklet handed out when you arrive. I just bring my products and pail and use the U-Wash water.

Nothing special - any radio that has sub-channel or 'privacy channel' capacity.
Usually a Motorola that can be purchased at most Costco / Sam's Club or Radio Shack / Target / K-Mart.

The shopping has commenced.

I have a set of Cobra FRS / GMRS radios that Morten and I are taking on our caravan down. Would they work?
