  • MOTD 2018 – Blood on the Dragon

    Another year, another great time. (more…)

  • MOTD 2017 – The Year of the Blackout

    The car and I mostly survived another MOTD. Ohio chipped my windshield on the way down. And we lost power for a little over a day in Fontana Village and some crazy winds that took out several trees. Otherwise it was beautiful as always. Great friends, great drives, great times!

  • Dragon Survived (somewhat)

    Well we mostly survived this years MINIs on the Dragon. Friday the 13th claimed my sunglasses, my knife, and most of my front bumper.

    Had a great time seeing everyone and ended up donating over $600 to the food bank and MOTD organizers via poster sales. I will have the extras for sale here soon if you missed out.

  • Dragon Posters Are Here

    Dragon! Dragon! Dragon!
    T-Minus one week until MOTD 14! I have three dragon posters available this year; a few copies of the generic Dragon poster from last year, a MOTD14 specific one, and a Brew Swap poster as well. These will be available at the Dragon first, any left overs will be available at the store here. If you are interested but can’t make the dragon, please contact me. The MOTD is limited to 80, only 42 of the Brew Swap were printed, and I’m not sure but I think its less than 20 of the original one.

  • Dragon Poster Print

    There was some renewed interest in my Dragon poster, thanks to an LXM member sharing a photo of one beautifully matted and framed. If you are looking for the poster, look no further.

    Now with international shipping.

  • MOTD13 Photos

    More photos from this years Dragon. Including some nice Killboy shots.

  • Mostly Survived MOTD13

    We mostly survived this years MINIs on the Dragon. Had a great time as always except for the window-tint/no front markers ticket on the way down. The officer was a total jerk and mad that our group was not speeding so he decided he had to write up someone, I was that lucky someone.
    Then on the way home we stopped for some BBQ north of Cincinnati, and the steep angled driveway ruined my bumper. Yay.
    Here is a video from the brewery run.

  • MINI Dragon Poster


    Made a MINI poster about the dragon, not to be confused or associated with MOTD. Long story. Anyway if you’d like one you can get it here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/766288829/the-dragon-us129-mini-cooper-limited-print-poster If we cover costs I will donate to the food bank at the dragon.
    I’m in contact with the printer to see if I can do a smaller run of the Matte 11x17s, this is what is driving the current printing cost up.

  • MOTD13 Custom Poster

    So what began as a custom R53 poster for myself due to mismatched poster sizes at home has turned into a custom Minis on the Dragon 13 poster. I am considering making these availble in a limited (25-50) print run via a kickstarter campaign.

    The text I wrote says: “11 Miles
    318 Turns
    This is why we drive

    The Dragon. It’s all about that feeling you get. The smile on your face when you press the pedal down. The pop and burble from the exhaust as you brake into a sharp turn. This we cannot live without. This is what keeps us coming back to MINIs on the Dragon. This is why we drive MINI Coopers.”
