We are so glad you all got to come! It was great meeting you. Give another big thanks to your son for helping give out the goodies

I'm sure we'll be seeing you again soon

forgot to thank MiniMiller & MP for leading our little MD group on that last final leg to the Tortilla Factory.

Just after passing over Route 7 is where our convoy was joined by Lilana and friend in her LY/B MC.

Thanks again to our host Mike & Donna and the Tortilla Factory.

Moonpie-- I'm sorry we didn't get to talk with you too but I think we talked to your husband (who has lived in Reston forever, that is, if I have the relationship right) I was sitting up front--a John Malchovich look-alike

and father of the Cub Scout who read off Raffel ticket numbers. Don't you have a drk Silver/black MINI? I'm sure we've passed on the roads around Lake Anne. My wife thought you looked familiar and was trying to figure out where she'd seen you before and realized that it was behind the wheel of a MINI...of course!

Tom F. · Jan 28th, 2003, 01:35 PM

We had to leave a tad early, but had a great time. What an impressive display of Mini's!

We did miss seeing a Velvet Red and/or a red interior, but my wife had never seen Silk Green and she wants one badly.

Loved the sounds of those Borla exhausts!

Thanks very much,

I remember your son, but not you all, there were so many people, wish I'd worked my way around the room more!

Yup that's hubby, have you guys lived here long?

BTW your son did an excellent job!

We've been living in Reston since 1982

And I'll be sure to pass the compliment on to our son... You'll have to keep your eye peeled for a Chili Red/White MC that is constantly tooling around Northpoint Village and Lake Anne.

Be sure to Honk!

Donna, Mike--

I haven't gotten the Herndon Observer yet but I got the Reston Times delivered last night and went right to the Weekender section but alas no coverage on our MINI Meet

Any idea when the article was supposed to be in.

Mike & Donna in Ca. · Jan 30th, 2003, 11:39 AM

It will be in next weeks issue. So keep an eye out for it

MoonPie · Feb 2nd, 2003, 04:18 PM

coolies Donna! looking forward to it.

is Mike going to make some of the pics he took available on the MINI Yahoo site? eeeeeeee oooooooooo...J took some good group shots, and a few of you and Christal up front, not sure where to post them.

Mike & Donna in Ca. · Feb 4th, 2003, 08:46 PM

As soon as the paper comes out tomorrow, Mike will be able to post pictures. Because he was at the lunch - working for the paper - they are the property of the paper until published

So tomorrow it is - I hope the article is good - haven't seen any hints of it so I have no idea what it's going to say

Mike & Donna in Ca. · Feb 5th, 2003, 01:33 PM

Okay All,

Here is the sneak peak to the Luncheon newspaper article coming out in the Times series today

http://www.zwire.com/site/news.cfm?brd=2553

When into the site, Click on "The Mini Cooper Mystery Tour". There is also a Photo Gallery

Enjoy!

PS - Jonathan & Carolyns tag was changed accidently on purpose

sdmidget · Feb 5th, 2003, 05:35 PM

Nice job.

Picture of BRidGEt (RSD MINI) in the gallery too!

RULES!!

Grinder · Feb 5th, 2003, 09:04 PM

"Carolyn Miller of Reston (plate MOTOR4FUN, chat room tag "Moon Pie")"

So *that's* what your plate means!!

Nice pics of Paddy and MoonPie!:P

Not a fan of my pic though...I look all red and why am I in that heavy coat??

Grinder · Feb 5th, 2003, 09:05 PM

Oh, also...i haven't seen this keychain before. How much was it?

Grinder,

Not sure on the cost of the key fob. On the other side is a compass

It was a give away when we went to MINI Meet East last year in Charleston SC

paddy · Feb 6th, 2003, 12:41 AM

I can only guess that your heavy coat caused your face to become flushed. It is either that or MP told a really good joke.....

MoonPie · Feb 6th, 2003, 02:09 PM

LOL! Paddy, apparently you are my hubby, hehehehe...er according to Deej

you are NOT in your 60s, if you are, then I'm in mine too, hehe

(I was tickling Grinder he blushes when you do that, try it next time!)
