No, I'm not a member of C3M. I have been to the website though and saw that there's going to be a meet up at The Pub Dog in Columbia on Sat, 9/24. Sadly, I had already bought my bus tickets to and from NYC for that day hours before I saw that meet up. I was pretty crushed about that.

I told my buddy about the Columbia meet up and he was saddened also. He's going to NYC with me that day. He also owns a MINI.

not today but last weekend, finally installed the trailer hitch I had been waiting patiently for since I bought the car in April. Took about 2 hours including a half hour rain delay. Now I can finally carry my bike again! Although unfortunately this is Miami, it's the middle of the rainy season and also mosquito season so there's not much biking fun to be found. Been wanting to go on some trails in the everglades but they are all muddy and the mosquitoes are unbearable even with bug spray.

But at least I'm ready for when the weather gets better!!!

Tonight my Mini paid me to do a mod. I was installing the armrest and when I lifted up the seat rail there were three quarters and a nickel underneath. Thank you, Kirby!

It wasn't today because of torrential rain but Tuesday I had a really rough day at work. Cary "took" me to my favorite winding, 9-mile rally-turn-laden, amusement park stretch of road and my day ended with a satisfied smile!

This "monsoon" we've been experiencing has been far greater this year than last, it seems.

I agree with Minted-rose..horrible downpours and other weather conditions this year! Cary, I got Rose to join our Central Maryland Mini Motorists (C3M), why don't you check us out at www.meetup.com? Fun people who share our MINI enthusiasm. We do some really fun runs!

I will indeed. Thank you. Since Cary joined the family we thought it would be really fun to go motoring with other enthusiasts but haven't had much luck finding a club. A friend suggested DC Metro Minis and also directed me to NAM. DCMM sounded like an interesting club. We wanted to try and hook up with them first to see if we liked the group before joining and so i contacted them at their website. It appears we must join the club officially and pay dues first! disappointing. When is your clubs next outing? We'd love to come and meet folks.

Sorry others for the unrelated post here.

Sept 24 - 3rd Qtr. Meet n Greet at The Pub Dog, Columbia, Md; 4:30. I won't make that one, as I'm doing the run on the 25th. You can see the scheduled runs when you go online. Looking forward to meeting you!
