OMG... I think you'll have to deliver those in person. I believe you could easily break Chef in with a drive to NC and then to Nashville and back to PA... It wouldn't take *too* long!

I tired to pitch a Dragon trip to my girlfriend and it went like this:
me: "when i get Chef there are group MINI trips. One is to this super cool road with lots of curves that is hella fun to drive. It is in NC and its called the Dragon"
her: " Let me get this straight. You want to drive to NC, so we can get to a place where we will drive some more ? I dont think so"
I might be able to convince her to go if we get Phish tickets for Asheville. We are also talking about Bonnaroo.
Either way, i will certainly post some pics of the HC MINI Marsh Cupcakes.

Hmmm... sounds like my conversation with my husband and kids about Dragon (and we're only 5 hours away). Then I mentioned that the Inn we're staying at is known for it's world class fly fishing. Now I think I have to buy a Thule Carrier for my roof racks for 5 fishing rods, waders, boots, hiking boots, maybe some pfd's as it's also known for fabulous kayaking... I know I'm going, but I may sneak out and leave them home!
Bonnaroo is later in the summer, and from where you are in PA, the fastest route is to Harrisburg and take a left on 81 (south) which merges into I-40 around Knoxville - head west from there until I-24 and head East on that for about an hour. I grew up in Roxboro (between Miquon, Conshohocken, Chestnut Hill and Germantown), and I used to make that trip 2 or 3 times a year. There is a way to sneak over to the Dragon from 81 (from the Blue Ridge Parkway), although it would put you out of your way a number of hours. But would be worth it.
Let the GF know that there are things to do for the NON-Mini people... It's a beautiful area, there's some great little "mayberry-esque" towns, watersports, you're not "too" far from Dollywood (shudder)... and this is all from someone who's not been to MOTD
But you MUST bring cupcakes! There are a few of us who will be there with appetites!

All those cupcakes and cookies made me think of making brownies with Hershey Chocolate melted in the middle as an inbetween layer. Hey question for my fellow Chocolate Clubman's . Anyone have the problem i just noticed, moisture in the rear third brake light above the barn doors? looks like mine is leaking? Would this qualify for a Mini Dealer / Factory rental car?

I def saw a thread on NAM about water in the Brake Light. Do a search and I am sure you will find it.
I picked up Cheffry on Thursday and have had 200 thrilling miles since then.
The crew @ Otto's MINI in West Chester PA seemed to love the cupcakes i brought to celebrate his "birthday".
Also, I am pretty new to this message board community thing and I cant figure out how to show you guys the pics of him in all his glory. Help!

Our car is an '09 Hot Chocolate Clubman S, Black roof and C pillars, auto, heated windscreen, comfort access, chrome line, glass roof, heated front seats, cream line interior w/hot chocolate ray cloth, xenon lights, rear fog hifi stereo, bluetooth, white direction lights, cold-climate and a few other little things. Didn't go for the leather(to sticky in the heat and cold in the winter), no nav(we were told that it is not user friendly) and no back up sensors(we figured we could see what's behind us). Did we forget to load it with anything?

OMG MINISCLUBMAN.... Nice clubbie but you have left out one serious thing. To be fair to your wife, she wouldn't have thought this one feature would be so important (it's a woman thing you know), but you seriously can't have a cubbie without it... I have an 09 HC clubbie and made sure mine came with this one thing... couldn't get it factory installed, so it was dealer installed.
You're missing the Clubman Auto Wench:
