See you there!

 

This will be great. I like the three group coming together.

 

I'll be there. Will be meeting up w/the Cranberry caravan.

 

We're in, joining in Monroeville.

 

Count me in, will be meeting up with Monroeville group.

 

If you can base anything on a 7-day forecast, the weather is looking to be a nice fall day!

If you haven't already, please make sure to register: http://www.pittstopmini.org

 

you can't pay for better fall weather just like today.
but then I looked at weather.com

I would love to, but unfortunately I don't have access to Internet Explorer

I will be dropping Deb a line after work today to confirm instead.

 

We hope to resolve that issue in near future. If it helps, you can also send an email to:
secretary at pittstopmini.org.

 

To be honest, it was something I was going to bring up this weekend. As the "new guy on the block" I don't know that I feel comfortable nominating myself for the IT position...
..but I would love to volunteer my services to whomever assumes that role.
I feel fairly confident I have a few skills that may be of use

 

I've sent you a PM.

 

Ok, registered/paid myself + 2 guests. Hopefully it all went through OK. Sent email to secretaryATpittstopmini.org just in case.

 

Great

 

I'll be at the monroeville point.

 

Hey the MINI of sterling guys and DCMM will be at Summit Point (AutoX) , WV about two hours south of us. I will try to get some of the left overs to come our way. I think their is going to be alot of people that way due to the thread being a skicky

 

I'm in. Meet you guys in Monroeville.

 

New Guy meeting with you guys in Cranberry (sheesh! in 45 minutes! Gotta motor!)
