See you there.

Everyone is welcome.

It's a casual hang-out with a cup of Coffee (or tea ) and mini talk.

Of course you are welcome, along with everyone else who can make it. It has been awhile since I have seen a classic up close and personal! I will be there, thanks for making it on Thursday and not Wednesday Maxicooper! See you on Thursday!

I already know that Thursday is going to be a rough day at work. If I can make it, I would love to hang out that night.

I hope that the Arlington location is cleaner than the one in Capitol Hill where the place is pretty dirty and service is lousy .. a client of mine is not allowed to come back because she used to put too much cream/milk in her coffee..:(

But I might come by Thursday pm. and drink bottled water.

Haha.. you'll see me Thursday as long as my new gas cap arrives in time.. speaking of which, if anyone sees a lonely gas cap on the 95 north between woodbridge and 395 junction, please help it find it's way back home to my gas tank!!

Will you be there?!?

I'll try, but I just got the call from TATE about the clearbra install and that could change my plans.

tate schmate!!! besides, your GP is made of steel!! No rock could hurt it!!!

Also, would anyone have any objections to me bringing my camera and videotaping for my Mini/MINI video podcast?

Some things I want to do are:
- Vehicle sweeps (hopefully they're all lined up!)
- A few interviews with members and/or officers

Thanks!

Awesome., Looking forward to see you there....

Actually, I did stop by the place today. Nice, not too crowded (I went there pretty late though), Coffee is ok and plenty of parking.

I'd love to see a classic Mini on the streets of Arlington. Heck, park it between two new MINIs, rear wheels to the curb to show how tiny it is!

I am going to try and stop by. I may have some DVDs... I found the ETK DVD for MINIs through 12/2006, trying to see if I can locate all the MINI Commercials and copy them onto one DVD.

Looks like Thursday is going to be a real nice day. Sunny & 60's.
I will try to get a parking spot, the one right in front, for the classic Mini.

Night shots of R53, R52, R56 and the classic, great photo op indeed.

I guess thats my status, (new member), haven't received the official card yet, but my check is at least in the mail.

I'd like to join you all for coffee,
Sounds like fun - meet some other MINI owners, and see their MINIs.

I'll be there - with a freshly washed 02 CRMC.

Craig

Going to the Dragon next week for the 1st time. Won't be able to go in May. Might be good to hear a story or good tip or two before I plunge in. Any Dragon Veterans going?

Depending on whether or not I am feeling better, I may drop by. Not TOO far from me! And since the last time you all met, you came up with a nice run, I may just drop by and pick some brains for upcoming events.
