Got TAPE?

Hey there!

<Nothing like waiting until the last minute...>

Does anyone have a supply of black-out tape for the beltline they'd be willing to part with/sell and you'll be at the breakfast tomorrow morning? You bring the tape, I'll bring the cash.

Better yet - is it a quick enough job to apply it in a quality way DURING the morning? I'd give you a few bucks for your trouble and you'd have my undying gratitude and appreciation.

Heck, we could make a "Black Out Clinic" out of it.

Yeah, yeah, now I bring it up

Anyway, if you can bring it, I'm the one with the all Jet Black MCS MINI, black door handles/gas cap, tinted custom tail lights, etc.

Thanks!

John

Westbound is towards the Potomac.... I think. basically come off the beltway and take a right. i'm bringing a radio - Dan (PGT) knows how to get a hold of me. I apologize in advance for my very dirty wheels.

Great time, everybody! Thanks to everyone who brought food and organized the runs before and after. Excellent meeting, too. Great job, folks, and thanks for serving as officers

I'm still amazed at my little Just-a-Cooper. Filled up before the run this morning, drove 189 miles, and filled up when I got home. Took all of 4.963 gallons All that fun on less than 5 gallons of gas? That's amazing

Cheers!

~Ed

I hope everyone enjoy a small run this morning.

Some said it's a little too short, we might wanna add another 5 miles into the route.

Thanks to everyone, it's been another successful breakfast meet. Pleasure to meet everyone: new faces, old timers. Looking forward to meet you all again soon.

Yeah, I goofed big-time But still, had a great run through Olney, Ashton, lots of little roads and very little traffic, so it was okay. Not as much fun as if it had been with you guys, though. I'll do better next time
