Since it's almost the end of Feb, I'm doing the Feb. sign-ups this weekend, and I should be all caught up.
Don't worry, your name(s) will be posted, I promise.
no worries!

we're just keeping you on your toes!

wow! looks great...congrats

did you request the black plastic driving lamp covers? they gave me white covers but I want the black ones to match my car...lol.

oh, i notice they didn't slap on a front license plate frame. are you going to do so? I know VA is pretty picky about that but my MA went ahead and drilled the holes and stuck on the frame before I even got a chance to think about it

License plate? Yeah I watched them drill into my nice new JCW front end Ah well

I didn't request the black driving lamp covers, but I guess I should note the casing around the lamps are not chrome as I expected - they are black too! It looks great! Apparently it's a new option...?

It seems like your jacket matches your new MINI as well.

Very interesting website, Dave! =D

I just wanted to say hello to my soon-to-be Official DCMM friends =D I submitted my membership info earlier today =) A bit about me, for those that dont know -- I live in Rockville, MD with my boyfriend. My boyfriend and I both moved to the area from our colleges in Va; he in Aug 06 and me in May 07. I will be picking up my new mini from MoS this upcoming Tuesday!

I look forward to meeting you guys at the next run/meeting!

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!

As of next Tuesday, Laura (GreenCactus) will be the club's new membership liaison. I have been the liaison for almost 14 months, and it's time to pass the torch.
Laura, bless her heart, agreed to take this task on. She's in charge of the newsletter, she thought it would be a good idea, so she can put the names of the new members in the newsletter.
Laura, you're a peach but I hope filling both positions is going to be too much..
Since Laura's going to be taking over next Tuesday, the next batch processing will be delayed until then.
Thanks for your patience...

Katie

The name is Jee and I'm picking up a 02 MCS from a person in PA.
It's stock, 35k miles..

Is any one coming to the CDC Auto-X in Bowie on the 30th?
