Very tempted to join you all--but I still need to get the rest of the stripes installed on Dora's boot. And you never know when I'm stuck working on some class project or something
Hence I won't send in the actual RSVP until I'm 99.99% sure I can make it (is that the threshold?
)

Well, almost an entire year into our membership w/ DCMM, looks like the fiancee and I will be coming along on this run!
It's been a hectic year with our wedding quickly approaching but it's about time we joined up for one of these!
Count the fiancee (MiniEnglishRose) and I both in for this one!
Are we going to be able to keep up in our non-S automatic R56?

The way our runs normally go, you could ride a bike and keep up. 
We get moving and then someone(s) get stuck at a traffic light and we wait for them. Then we make a wrong turn, we have to regroup. We turn a 2 hour run into a four hour run. So do not worry !!! Besides, Justacoopers are plenty zippy to keep up with the S's. 
Glad to have you join us... this is shaping up to be quite a good run.
Don't forget to decorate your MINI for the St Paddy's Day holiday. A nice little prize awaits the best dressed MINI !

We would have the most ironically dressed Mini for St. Patty's Day...considering ours is bright red and has British Flag mirror covers
This will also finally give me a chance to use the 2-way radios I bought almost a year ago when we first signed up

With the restaurants... yeah, I tried two Irish places and neither of them wanted to mess with a group more than about 10 people.
And Dr Evil does have a British theme... but not an Irish one !

The Still was fine, just filling the parking lot of an Irish Pub (serving the lads with the dark stuff) with Union Jack Laden British cars on St Pad's day doesn't seem like a good idea.......I do go to the 4th of July celebrations and fireworks wearing my Union Jack....someone's got represent the other side 
and what about those unfair taxes ? Seemed like a bloody good waste of tea....

Wow.... we're up to what.... 22 MINIs !!
Cool !!
But I might have to move back the lunch reservation. We vets know that the more MINIs you have, the longer the line, the more the group gets broken up by red lights, stop signs, groundhog crossing, and what not. Hello, Bullock's ? Make that 1:00 for lunch !

I missed this last year cuz I was out of town. I'm gonna come this year cuz I've heard how much fun it is.
Hope y'all don't mind a car with a big freakin' Union Jack on the roof....not exactly kosher for St. Patrick's day..
