Hungry for Mexican?

We need to get together, meet our new members and get all our cars in a parking lot to be admired.

Anyone up for meeting at our original clubhouse - the Tortilla Factory in Herdon - one night during the week of March 21 or for lunch that weekend?

I hear tales of a time just before I picked up my MINI when the future DCMM gang brought 100 MINIs out.

If enough interest, I will plan and post it.

Although I hope to meet a bunch of you at MINI of Towson next Wednesday, I definitely might be up for Mexican that week... but only if it's prior to Friday the 25th, since I'll be going out of town (WAAAAAY out of town) then.

What about lunch on Saturday, March 26? I spoke with the restaurant already and they think it is a fine idea. Folks who wanted to do a little driving could meet at MINI of Sterling/Wegman's and go our exploring either before lunch or after. Maybe say 1:00 pm?

I will start a new thread if there is agreement!

New member here...

During week for sure... Weekend maybe, depends if I go for a run to the Spring Carlisle show on the weekend.

Would try very hard to make it either was as I'll have had my new MCSC for only a couple days at that point! Would be my first multi MINI outing after actually taking delivery :smile:

Yes, Virginia is a very scary place... The signs are in a foreign language, there's those weird security checkpoints at the borders, and if you don't get a visa beforehand they might not let you in!

If there's no solid plans yet, I'd love to work something out with hafid! I'd be great to meet the man behind the camera! :smile:

He's in the DC area next week. More details in this thread!

I'm ahead of you on this one, Paul. I've got his cell phone and we are trying to figure out the best evening -- since his plans tend to change. But he's game for Mexican at the Clubhouse.

Hugs,

OK, time to plan DINNER

Ok, I've waited all day for any response -- so I'm just going to do it MYSELF.

For the next TWO Thursdays --- (Mar 24th AND Mar 31); MINIvan#2; me; Michael and the BOY will be going to the Clubhouse at 7pm for dinner. If you wish to join us --- come and join us. Let me know, so I can get a table big enough.

Come and join us.

Hugs,
PB

"The DCMM Clubhouse." aka The Tortilla Factory is located at
648 Eldon Street in Herndon.

For those of you with Nav, the restaurant is actually listed there. Do a search for restaurants in Herndon VA and scroll down a bit...

Yes, we will meet again on the 31st --- plus we should have a visit from Hafid for the evening too.

There was a lovely small group there tonight -- with tons of chatting in the parking lot.

Let's summarize:

1. My getting our car story was TOO long.
2. Our new friend, Mark, thought his story was bad -- until he endured ours.
3. Paul's car was the OLDEST one there.
4. Writing on Paul's car is fun.
5. We hope our new friend, Janell, knows that we make fun of the Navy to make fun of Paul -- and she's exempt (as of right now) from our bash the Navy comments
6. Two cars met for the first time on the boat they road over on together.
7. We had a blast. Need to do it MORE often.

See the gang again on the 31st!!!

Hugs,
PB
