>>i want to go, but if i catch them sticking a bumper sticker to my "S"
>>there will be hell to pay, i'm now part of the MINI Renegade Club (MRC)
>>

There will be no stickers on my MRC MINI either. Others have ordered rally type numbers for the cars, no thanks.....I prefer to be stealth (yeah right!!).

Koolmini, I hope you go. There's a caravan going from NJ/NY leaving on Friday morning with a pack of about 6 MINIs.

at Mt. Washington, they used to have people put those stupid "this car climbed Mt. Washington" bumper stickers on your car in the parking lot
btw: i wasn't going to put any decals on my car, but i ended up with a silver Dragon

where and when are you guys meeting?
and where are you guys staying friday night?

We're meeting at about 9am in the Suffern area. Most people are staying at the Royalty Inn, but a few of us are staying at sunnybrookcottages.com.

I'm leaving for NC tomorrow, for more details of the NY caravan, contact David Rose at jennysup@yahoo.com.

I think a silver dragon is most appropriate.

Or a sticker that said, "this MINI kicked Mt. Washington's A$$"

Attention all MOT participants:

Suggested to CCM that he hire Paul Winter for MOT--his kind of event Solstice, wind on the top, and all...

CCM didn't know who he was ....johnsecco envies his long white hair.....do any of you know of him? Am I really THAT old?

I know Paul Winter; his studio is in Litchfield CT, where I grew up. I love his music, but I have no idea how widely known he is.

Also wanted to reiterate my boundless frustration that I will be unable to make this meet.

Y'know, Chris, until I finally meet you properly I'm going to always picture you as the guy who kept walking past the door inside that dive next to Gossman's, staring at the three of us standing expectantly by your car. Could have been a waiter but there you go. You are so wrapped up in this region I too think it's a shame you're not able to make it.

The stickers are vinyl clings for the inside of the window and they look fantastic.
They are easy on and easy off. There is no way we would ever put a bumper sticker on a MINI!
Tshirts also look great. You can see pics of the t's and clings over at mini2.
Important to note that this event was closed on June 7th.
We have 68 MINIs and 132 people registered.
See you on 6/21.

You could organize an event yourself, then make sure you did not miss it!
Not to steal the limelight from those who (I understand) did some very hard work pulling this event together, but I'm not sure that the above sentiment is all that helpful. It seems to convey a sense of exclusivity rather than the inclusiveness that I would hope colors other MINI events. IMO.

I don't think that was me. I walked across the bar and back once to use the bathroom, but that's it. Still kicking myself for not realizing it might have been youze guys.

Someday I'll figure out how to get a pic of me online so I can post it in that mugshot thread.

Beautiful! Southern New England gets 3+ inches of miserable rain, and you guys get a very rare clear day on top of Washington! Looks like an unbelievable time.

God loves the MINI. Guess the weather provided answers the question WWJD?

Glad everyone got up and down safely. Wish I could say the same about my golf.

Go to Google and Search for Mt Washington. They have a live camera and featured you guys and gals. Happy Motoring.

MaxaMini,
We knew about the webcam.
As soon as we arrived, various people did an ET and "phoned home" to get someone to capture the pic - successfully:
:smile:
