NO! Went from having a oil leak, pulley tensioner, alignment, and coolant flush. It is now, radiator puncture, pulley tensioner, which they will check after the radiator because there was coolant all over the motor, replace bent lower control arm, and alignment.

 

Never is!

 

Hmm...too much torque, may be....

 

Nah, more like too much ice!!! and to many pot holes...This isn't a brand new thing with the control arm...we just wanted to wait till we got the summer wheels back on to do an alignment...

 

How long are people going to be at Murky? I am meeting my cousin for dinner near there, so may be able to stop by on the way home if anyone is still around.

They close at 9pm. More likely there will be some of us stay until they close.

 

Wow, close at 9 a.m.? When do they open? All night coffe party gang, no decaf here!

 

Misha's is cool. Yes, parking can be a tad difficult, but there are parking lots on the same block as well as streetside parking spaces.

You tend to get a mix of students (Virginia Tech's Washinigton Alexandria Architecture Consortium) across the street, Old Town resident regulars, and Vespa Owners

 

I should be able to make it!

 

9pm? This is why Buzz is cool. Great drinks, pastries and they stay open every night till 12:00am!

Misha's is ok, the Vespa folk don't really hang there anymore. One guy with a Lambretta does.

 

Ok, since we got SF back in time we will be there. Just have to see how long it will take us!
I must say I liked having the orange Cabrio we had for a day. We went topless and I got a nice sunburn! But it was nice!

 

Woo..hoo..it's so nice out here. I've arrived here early, sitting out door with a nice cup of coffee.
After 20 minutes here, I saw almost a dozen Minis passed by already.

 

Wish I could join you all... in other circumstances, I would be heading there right now!

However, I've been dealing with a nasty stomach bug the past few days (gradually getting better each day), so I'm headed home to relax and eat my wonderous "chicken broth & rice" mix, since I really shouldn't be putting much else into my body right now.

Have a great time - hope to see you all on Saturday anyhow.

 

Well It's 18:28 and I am here dealing with a budget, I must allocate $9 MIL, and I have gone over 1.5 ..so I will be staying here a bit longer...

Have fun..

 

Good times!! Great to meet everyone that showed up! Too bad we couldn't get parking right next to each other but I liked MY parking spot!!

Saturday is looking better and better!

Thanks again!

 

Glad to see everyone and meet some of you newbies! Welcome! And what a great impromptu monthly dinner! Now I can relax my poor vocal chords...I have a really sore throat and am hoarse! Oh well, still getting over my bug..

 

It was great to meet everyone. We crossed the Rubicon, had our Health Shakes, and are all set for the next event. We look forward to seeing you all again!

Great meet up everyone, we have from a classic Mini all the way to GP. Wow......
It went from coffee to dinner....

I wish I could stay a little longer, but .... duty call.

And for the classic, we kept the parking spot for you as promised.



Thank you everyone, I'm looking forward to see you all again soon.

 

We had a great time. Sitting around the dinner table talking mods was fun as always!

 

Actually, we stand around the classic in front of Murky for almost 2 hours before changing the location to Silver Diner, then we sat.

btw, I forgot that I have this picture.

 

I had a great time! Great people, awesome weather, AND nice cars...what more can you ask for?! It was nice to meet new people and to see everyone else again. Can't wait to do it again, oh wait that will be Saturday morning! Oh and thanks for the link Stace. I will check it out tomorrow when I am not soo tired!

 

That was great! Nice to meet everyone ! (I'm the "new guy", rjyoder4, red shirt, gray hair, 02 MC CR).
And the cars, a classic (nice parking btw classicfreq)
and a very nice GP all in the same evening! and pics too!

I hated to have missed the food and talk, but long drive . . . etc. cinderfella syndrome.

Thanks for the friendliness.

Maxi,

You managed to make my ride go from craptastic to FANTASTIC!! Great pics!! Mind if I use them???

 

Please feel free to use it. It's not a good one though, color is off. Next time we meet, I will get some good ones for you.

 

Ok, I too have a picture of you...With your mini coffee cup!
