I won't be able to make the micro-run after all, but I am still making lunch at the British Pantry. Edge - you offering to use the same route as we did the last time at MoS? That was fun.....

 

I think it's called Old Georgetown Pike. It's the 1st exit off the outer loop of 495 in Virginia (American Legion bridge), just past the GW Parkway.

 

micro-run before meet-n-greet, where and when are we meeting? did i miss something?

 

I'd still like to know where we are supposed to meet at the dealership as well. I know parking is VERY limited at MOS.

 

For anyone who is interested in the "McLean Mansions tour & Twisties Run", which is a short (~20 miles), winding through the scenic road of McLean area:

The Meeting place: Linganore Dr. & Rt. 193 (off 495, on the shoulder of Rt.193), McLean, VA. 8.30 am.


As for where we meet at MoS, most people park in the MINI sales lot. Any space that isn't blocked off is fine, even if it says it reserved for someone. The only time anyone had a problem was when the parked on the road alongside MoS, next to the Volvo dealership. Volvo didn't approve of the intruder.

 

OK, I have cobbled together 2 different routes from MoS to The British Pantry and printed them out on 20 handouts. Both routes are based upon parts of the Spring Fling run, and minimize the use of Routes 28 and 50.

Which route should we take? That kinda depends on the group consensus. Maybe some can take Route 1 and the others can take Route 2. There's about 3.4 miles difference in the distance, and the longer one is a bit more fun. Both routes are of course much slower than just using 28 and 50... but that's the boring "highway" route, isn't it?

See you folks on Saturday.

 

I checked the route today and we're good to go! They've added a helpful speed bump on one of the roads. I guess they got tired of Chris speeding through there!

See everyone in the morning! Don't forget your radios, set to channel 7-21.

 

Just one !!!

After tomorrow they're going to add 5 more.

Have fun everyone.

 

For those going to the British Pantry, I reserved 6 shepards pies and 8-10 spaces. Most likely you will be sitting outside. Just mention "DC Metro Minis" when you get there.

 

I really wanted to come out to MoS to see you guys, but I have a dental emergency that needs to be taken care of...hopefully tomorrow. I think I have an absessed tooth..it's bloody killing me.
I wanted to have a cream tea at the BP too...darn.
Have fun and drive safe, hear?

 

Enjoyed seeing everyone today!

Saw a lot of new faces. Hope to see yall around again.

Thanks for the offer; it really only makes a difference for shots of the individual cars. And thank you for the help with the camera as well. (I swear one day i'll learn how to actually use all the features it has.)

 

FD3SDriver,
Thanks for all of the hard work! I also had a great time.

 

FD3SDriver,
