OK Weather looks good so I expect to make it.

 

Welcome aboard, and you're right it is a lot of fun! We all look forward to meeting you.

 

If you do not have a 2-way radio, I will have an extra with me. Also, depending on your driving style, its slower at the front and a wee bit quicker at the back. Always keep a MINI in front of you and a MINI in your mirror !

Cheers,

Mike

 

Yeah, 2-way radio ... don't forget. It will become very handy.

Thank you, Mike.

 

I also have an extra radio in case someone needs one.

 

Just RSVP'd thanks to Maxicooper's invitation on a different thread.

looking forward to it. it'll be my first time doing something like this...be gentle

 

Welcome..welcome..
Can't wait to have a close up look on your MCSc "Sidewalk"

 

Hey thanks! looking forward to seeing the rest of the Coopers at the "run".

just joined the DC Metro Club a few mins ago.

 

Darn ! I knew that I forgot something... me first run as well... no 2 way radio.... only a transceiver that my son used while he was flying out or Martin State for a while. Marylander, WELCOME !!!!

 

I have a transceiver and a headset from flying too, tune into 122.8 and we'll talk

Just kidding of course, we use channel 7 with subchannel 21 on the "radio-telephone" (Brit lingo for 2 way)

 

Uh-oh

 

From WJZ :

Forecast Details from the Weather Team

Sunday - Cloudy with a chance of rain and snow. Highs in the mid 40s. East winds 5 to 10 mph. Chance of precipitation 30 percent.
Sunday Night - Cloudy with a 40 percent chance of snow. Lows around 30.

Only 30% chance of rain during the day..... keep the faith mates... keep the faith.

And after looking at Spitfires NAM name so often.... I'm thinking about changing mine to be 303 Sqdn.

 

With the Weather Team's, or for that matter, any of the other weather prognosticator's record of accuracy, I think the more rain, snow and general dreariness they predict the better chance we have for a sunny and warm Sunday.

I'll wait until Sunday morning and see what it looks like.

 

Looks even better now.

 

Looks like we'll have lift-off !

Wensley is spankin' clean, my nose is stopped up, its nap time and we're wearing sunglasses !

See everyone tomorrow

 

Been working all day, haven't got a chance to clean Maxi.

I think i might have to be toward the back of the caravan.

See you all tomorrow.

 

awww...i wish i could go

but I wont actually have my mini until this Tuesday

(and how long does it take to get your membership info? i joined earlier in the week )

 

We mail out the membership oackage once a month in winter, you should receive them shortly.

 

I just happen to have a spare seat if you'd like to ride shotgun and perform radio duty.

Just show up at Wegman's if you'd like to come along.

 

Oh, for the MINI lovers who will join us tomorrow, I heard that there will be some fun game going on during lunch, to test if you all really are "MINI fanatics".

 

>>>> bringing crib sheet with notes for the "game".

 

Sorry no cheating..

but I have the answers......and for the right price , I might give a little help
Getting ready to see you guys in a bit -

 

I'm hitting the road with Maxi, not very clean though.

See you all there.

Thank you Mr. Mellow Yellow for staying home. The weather was beautiful.
Your check for 35 cents is in the mail.
Seriously, sorry that you and Bev and Ed had to miss the run.

Maybe we can get together some weekend and I'll take ya'll through it.

 

Thank you to all that took part... you made the first run of many by me and my son immensly enjoyable ! When I joined DCMM, I was told that all the members are super nice and that the runs that Bill organizes are a blast... today proved that both statements were true.

Thank you again to all of you .... and the collection to buy Spitfire a flight in a real one will be commencing shortly !
