Then stop for lunch at Almost Heaven Smoked BBQ, Mineral, Va.

And join the Cooper Vineyard's 5th annual MINI-Cooper Rally.

I just bought our tickets (although I'm not optimistic Dave will be able to make it).


I bet you can get at least three cases in there. Don't forget about the backseat!

I will try and meet up with you all for the drive down there.

I have never done a rally before, it sounds like so much fun!

I have contacted them earlier and they said the tasting is included in the ticket fee.

I'm afraid I won't be able to make it after all -- have fun folks!

Hey there we had a great time today at the DC Metro MINI Bar-B-Q and Cooper Vineyard Rally... I just have a few pics here



of some MINI's we saw down there, I guess I was busy sipping, not guzzling the wines they had available to us....love that Noche Chocolate Sweet wine Yummm
Next year we'll know that it's a full bar-b-q meal at the vineyards too
See you at Sterling next month

Thanks to all who came out! We had a great time (and great wine).

Off now to enjoy some Viognier.

I spoke to Jackie, one of the owners, and she confirmed that this was by far the largest turnout to date, with well over 200 tickets pre-sold.

Had a great time yesterday. Ending up staying all weekend at Lake Anna and finally got to get my jetski out.

I was talking to one of the ladies at the Winery and she said they counted at least 110 Minis. Heck of a good turn out

See ya, Brian

This was my first rally with DCMM and it was .....a good time with good people. Take a look at this link for some photos I took of this event. Of special interest is the homemade spare tire rack on the back of a MCSC.

Great pics!

This was a lot of fun, even if the run there wasn't particularly exciting. I'm glad I could make it.

I wish i could make it.

Btw, I also wish you could make the Tuesday event as well.

I'm not sure Laura + guns + my BlackBerry is a good mix.

"Pull!"
*blast*
2 minutes later:
"Hey, where's my BlackBerry?"
"What BlackBerry?"

Well better late than never, and I must admit not one of my better efforts but it was so stinkin hot I didn't feel like shooting much, nor putting my camera mount on the car!

Here's some of what I did shoot.
