Most liked posts in thread: Dragon-ites

It's the Smoky Mountains and the weather can change from turn to turn Mountain to Mountain.

I have run the Dragon when it sunny and comeback to Fontana and it's pouring and vise versa.

Either way it's a great time rain or shine because people tend to drive slower in the rain and not crash as much.

P.S. The best part about the rain is the slow ass Harley riders on those huge bikes the size of a Countryman stay off the roads.

 

Just remember a rainy day in The North Carolina mountains is better then a sunny day in New Jersey.

 

What I live for, pretty much.

 

It's not, Fred. Not at all. See you next week!

 

Time to go yet????

 

Some say Dragonites are people going to the Dragon. They're kind of like argonauts that chase Jason around, except they chase backroads in Tennessee instead. Others say they are particularly sharp hemorrhoids that cause excruciating pain when sitting suddenly on solid surfaces.

Dragonitis is that list you made.

Nate is going to have a conniption fit and beat you with his grammar stick if you do this again.

 

I have Dragonitis.

It also makes it hard considerate on work.

 

Hope you all have a fantastic time! Someone please mail me a stale donut...I shall relish it.

 

I've left Fontana in the rain and stood down at Tapaco Bridge 40 minutes later in the sun. The beer and food doesn't know it's raining!

 

Oh its not just you...i havent been to MOTD in 2 years so it will be great to see all my old partners in crime...and i will be packing the Viking helmet again... wish i could be driving my classic mini but alas the repairs to her are taking a bit longer than previously thought but no worries...next year will be her year

 

Damn, I may be bailing on my planned Dragon trip anyway...

I might be flying to Cali and buying a car instead. :lol:

 

You can think of it as 3 days of rain! It's 3-4 days of MINI's Friends Food Beer Cigars, need I go on??

 

The weather is the least of my concerns. I am leaving at 12:00 today to pick up my new-to-me 2005 R52S tomorrow morning at 9:00 am. A 4 hr. drive home and then tires, alignment, oil change, coolant flush, and brake fluid change. Then, install gauges and CD player. And hopefully sell a VW project that will never get finished, somewhere along the line.

Finally, I leave for the Dragon Wed. @ 6:00 am. Let the adventure begin...

 

365. It's what I live for......how pathetic is that!

 

I'm worried about the weather forecast. Seems to be alternating back and forth from no rain to 80% chance of rain.

I'm not driving 11 hours to drive in the rain for 3 days.

 

Being as conniption noun con·nip·tion \kə-ˈnip-shən\ is a type of fit by definition.

:a fit of rage, hysteria, or alarm

Use of "fit" is superfluous and tautological in nature.

 

you're killin me with the tautological. I haven't heard that since grad school!

Showers is one thing.

3 days of rain with no sun is an entirely different thing. I'll be weighing my options up until 12am on the 29th.

So there. Plus it somehow sounds more formal, and in that particular sentence, I was going for a highbrow technique.

And tautology is something I embrace. Us tautologists make boxes with wires and dials and other impressive looking stuff on them and put them on our heads to get rid of bad juju. We also have a KFC triangle thing, and the chicken is excellent. Plus you get to hang out with Tom Cruise. You might want to try it.
