The Christmas Story

For the December meeting we will meet at Panera on December 13, 2008 at 9 am. At 10 am we will leave Panera and head for the Christmas Story House.
(this will be highway driving, I know several people have put the MINI's away for the winter.)

http://www.achristmasstoryhouse.com/

We plan on begining the tour at 11 am.

There has been some discussion about going to Grumpy's. Do we want to go there after the tour for lunch or do the West Siders want to go before the Tour?

Please let me know what you think about Grumpy's.

Also, do we want to do a gift exchange?
If so, I suggest each person bring a wrapped car related gift valued at approx. $15.00 and we will play a game to determine who gets what present the presents.

Grumpy's has a great breakfast by the way...

Anyone driving home via Route 6 East from Cleveland can see a real leg lamp at my aunt and uncle's house. My uncle Marty makes sure it is in the front window proudly displayed each Christmas.

Where do they live along Rt. 6? My parents live on a side street from there.

I was thinking that we HAVE to get a pic of a MINI either in the driveway or in the street in front of the house and submit it to NAM for the calendar next year!!! Hopefully there will be snow that day for the photo's artistic integrity...

I vote for Grumpy's for lunch.

OMG-check out the website...there is some cool stuff on it! There is in theme essay contest you can enter about what you really want for Christmas just like Ralphie had to write. Let's see, what should Moose and I wish for? I wonder if Santa can fit a Clubman in his bag so we can really fit in with the group...

Hmmm, I can get there buy I don't know the address. So with the help of Google Maps I can tell you they are a couple of houses West of Briar Hill Drive on the North side of the road.
The house is white and has a stone cottage on the West side of the drive way. I'd bet that they would laugh if a bunch of MINI's pulled into their driveway (I'd get a call right away). The drive is a big "U" around the house, so it holds plenty of Cars.

Well, as a matter of fact, I have a leg lamp proudly displayed year round and own a Mini!!! Pictures galore welcome! I'm actually hoping to put up my Christmas lights soon and use my house, along with the sweet illumination of electric sex in the window, as our Christmas card front this year.

Now, the bad news...yes, you guessed it, Bob pulling a Bob, I will be out of town for the drive that was my idea!!! I'll gladly throw something into the gift exchange though!!!

Lol-I was talking about a picture of MINIs in front of the Christmas Story House...I can see how confusion happened...it made sense in my head at the time...electric sex, hmm...we better be careful we don't cross the thread containing the acronyms people came up with for CVNP with this electric sex one cause things can go wrong oh so fast when you combine the two!

Bob, don't you like us anymore *sniff*sniff*? We won't bite (hard).

Hey, I swore I posted to here yesterday, but it's not here...

I still love y'all (well, except maybe for Cheeko Mowse), it's just that I'm busy...especially on Saturdays during curling season!!!

I'm afraid I'm stuck here in freezing Memphis. You see, one of my coworkers dared me to stick my tounge to a light pole here at work...


Thanks for the invite though. I may see if we can't scrounge up a few members for a road trip next year. Y'all have a good time!

Please do! The more the merrier and we love meeting new people! I had to do a double take at your name...my husband's name is Mike and he has a Datsun 280 zx...for a second I thought it was him and that he didn't want to share a log in with me anymore (even though he has yet to look on this site-he relies on me to pass on the news!)...

Hey, I look at the site from time to time...

As a side note, isn't it wierd that Kelley has us both as one login? It makes it look like she is talking to herself... lol

I am very excited about going to the House. We could stop and take photos at all houses with the leg lamp in the window.

She talks to herself all the time. She answers too. She argues with herself and loses. She has REAL issues but boy can she bake.

Ahhh, is that all I am good for?? And with as much as Moose is gone for work and school, it is either me or the dog to talk to...at least I am good listener to myself
