MOT 2006... The CLIMB - too late?

Hi all,

This will be my first "official" get together with other MINI enthusiasts...

I literally just got back from the post office 'Express Mail' ing my $103.00 for the days of driving and mingling fun during MOT06...

AM I TOO LATE for the drive up Mt Washington or do you think I'll squeeze in at slot #200? I hope, I hope... My cheque will arrive in MASS before Noon, tomorrow, 4/5/06.

Thanks and we're looking forward to the events!

Dave & Vicky

Last I heard there were a few spots left. If there aren't, you're more than welcome to ride with me!

I wouldn't recommend that..!... her car may wind up in "Limp mode" halfway up the MT.


Dave, last I heard there was like 40 or 50 something spots left... I'm sure you'll be fine..

Dereks info is correct.

Dave/Vicky, you should be getting regular emails from the MINIsOnTop mail server - one this past weekend announced the JCW upgrade raffle sponsored by MINI of Peabody, and also mentioned the number of spaces still available.
If you didn't get that announcement, I recommend you re-subscribe to the announcement list (http://www.minisontop.com/subscribe.htm)

Actually it was an Electric Blue Mini with clutch problems last year, but that was me...It was slipping so bad at the top that I couldn't even pull into the upper parking lot.
