They are closed for this season during remolding. They gave no notice. It sucks.

 

Is this the correct time/place MAY 1-5 Minis on the Dragon at Fontana Village Resort?

Arrghh 2000 mi round trip :(

 

Yes

 

I need some Darogon Therapy!

 

Ready to go! I have been to MOTD for the past three years, Car always has all season runflats. Am looking forward to seeing the difference on non runflat summer tires.


215/40r18 Extreme Contact Sport, OEM wheels

 

MomMINI, what front plate mount do you have? thats the best sitting one i've seen.

 

It is the craven speed platypus mount.

 

That's to far for me to drive, I'm trying to find another way (Amtrak car carriers) it's looking difficult. any ideas out there?
I'm in Taxachusetts.

 

WOOHOO- I found a room at Fontana. Looking forward to a great time. I will be hanging out at the Motoring Alliance tent on Vendors Row...so stop by and say hello. I love to put names with faces.

 

 

 

Great news. I know there are some homes down there in the area also, I have stayed down at the bottom of the hill right outside Knoxville near maryville for a good price when all of the places on the Dragon sold out.

 

Good choice of tires. I had those on my first Clubman before I traded it in. I just got some Michelin Pilot Super Sports for my coupe this Monday, along with an oil change. The only thing left for me is to go beer shopping. Then I'll be all set for MOTD!

 

I am looking forward to it

 

Glad you found a room! Right in the center of the action is always fun. Noticed you are from Ohio, what part?

ill be in Fontana Mon thru Thurs, hope to see you down there.

 

I'm from Cincinnati, Oh. I'll be hanging arount the M/A tent on Vendors Row so stop by and say hello. I love to put names with faces.

 

Sorry I'm going to miss you colinmini. My Daughter wouldn't let me check my Grandson out of school before Thursday afternoon, so we won't be there until early Friday morning. I'll see you on vendors row Teddy. Taking my car in for an inspection sticker and erl and filter change this afternoon in prep for the trip. Scheduled to have my new wing installed Tuesday. Getting rushed in the homestretch here.

 

Hate to miss you folks, and I wish you the best.

Leaving tomorrow from Massachusetts to Tennessee.

I promise not to use up all the Spring...

Cheers,

Charlie

 

Thinking about installing some rally lights from mini mania for the dragon. What you think?

 

You will need them down there it gets pretty dark at night when no MINIs are around, now the midnight run was crazy because everyone was lit up. You could see everywhere,

 

Well I pulled the trigger. Will be here next week.

 

Yep, the night run is a trip! Last time I did it was in my '07 MCS. All I really saw until we got to the dam was the tail lights about 15 feet in front of me and the headlights in my rearview mirror and doing my best to maintain the spacing. Didn't actually see much of the road itself. High pucker factor at times.

 

I wouldn't try a fast night run on a bet.

Not even close.

Sh*t happens, or at least that has been my experience thus far.

Two years ago that took two local lives.

Cheers,

Charlie

 

Yep. It was one and done for me.

 

Thanks for the warning. I have a hard time driving at night as I've gotten older. I got a set of lights from Zack Ta that turn night into day. They are really focused and whit bright. I wish I could remember the components and statistics.
