My wife and I had a great time. Thanks to everyone, can't wait to do it again. I'm not sure if we'll be able to make it for the naked version because we have family coming.

Sorry we had to duck out early, we had to get back and we live right off rte. 50 in Aldie so we left there.

Did anyone get a photo of the school bus Mini at the Wegmans? I was telling a co-worker and she wanted to see a photo.

Thanks Brian

I did speak to him about it, but he literally has no time - he's been trying to get his school approved by the Loudon County board.

Yeppers, Abby & Titan, they're the best - thanks. They very occassionally ride in the MINI but they're not too thrilled about it (they can't stand up - too tall, too long). They prefer the SUV where they can stretch out.

I've been eyeing those Clubmans though

I didn't realize you were videotaping behind me while I was lagging back and then speeding up - HA! Busted.

Awesome video - at one point the wipers are beating in synch with the song - how'd you do that?
