Save these Dates - October 7 and October 15

Why?

Because two DCMM events are in the planning stages for these dates.

October 7 - a leaf peeping driving event in the Western MD area. Details to follow in a few weeks.

October 15 - I hope to annouce a very special event with MINI of Sterling in the next week or so. Would involve left turns only.......

I told you, you should have opted for factory JCW when you had the chance!

too close to my ten year anniversary. Maybe I can find a traffic circle close to my home and do 10-20 laps.

October 15 update

Update!

MINI of Sterling confirms that this event will happen. I should have details in the next couple of days and I will make a separate thread. The event is a track day/driving school -- very similar to the events MINI of Towson has sponsored for the past two years. Those of you who have been know what a great time the event has been and you really do learn a lot about your MINI and your driving. Plus -- you get to go really fast!

More details to follow in a separate thread.

9.2.06 - post edited. I am not sure of the exact track and location, so I took that part out. But it is a track day event.
