    That sucks, If only Helix was going to the Dragon I know Mike would swap them out.

    I know :( I was devastated when he told me he wasn't gonna be there. He was going to swap them out for almost half of what Way was going to do it for and Way was lower than everyone else prior.

    Trust me all of us going to the Dragon from Philly were busting his balls last week when we went to Helix to see Jan tuning cars on the Dyno and hang out.

    That is disappointing. I was planning to have them do some coding on my car. Wonder who's going to be in their slot on vendors alley.

    I was ‘involuntary separated’ from my employer along with about 1000 others.
    In my case, the severance package is not too bad; however, I struggle with being able to justify the outlay of funds MOTD requires while not working.
    My bride believes I should still attend MOTD; however, I cannot justify the money.
    Regrettably, I’ve decided to cancel my trip to MOTD.
    Anyone know of someone who might want a room at Fontana Village before I just release it?
    Hope you have a great event.

    We need to arrange a walnut blast party. So many DI cars in need of it. Even the German bread-van will need one eventually. DI is a great thing, with one huge drawback- CARBON :incazzato:

    Howdy all... the 2018 MOTD thread isn't up, so I'm posting here....

    I'm a soon to be MINI owner again... picking up a 2005 MCS JCW this weekend. My wife looked at me this morning and asked "Have you made reservations for the Dragon next year?" (I love that woman).

    I just called... Fontana is sold out. Anyone have a room in a cabin for me?

    EDIT: Cabin found with my old MetroplxMiNi peeps! See you on th Dragon!

    Listen to Dave. A reservation opened up for me a week before the event this year. I made my reservations for next year when I checked out.
