I was wondering if anybody wants to get together any time soon-either for dinner/lunch or take a drive? Is there anything anybody wants to do this year?? Looking forward to seeing ya'll soon.
Welcome Aftrbrn25!! We are going to have a meeting soon...so if you have subscribed to this thread, you should be kept in the loop! Glad you are here!! Welcome!
Ok....let's pick a day. What about next Thursday night, the 22nd? Does that work for everybody? And does anybody have a suggestion on where they want to go?? I'm ready!!
OK...I'm an idiot. I have an appointment that night...What about the next Thursday night? March 1...
How about it? Southern Star?? About 5:30? Any takers?
Hi all. I have not been here much but would like to get back in contact.
I would like to put some mod days together sometime in the spring. Don't much care what, I just like working on the MINI. Even a maint day would be good. Flush cooling, oil changes, trans fluids, etc.
Also, would like to get a Chattanooga group together for MINIs on the Dragon. Last year I did just a Sat trip and it was great.
Unfortunately anything during the week I will likely miss due to work, school and kids.
OK...Let's meet next Thursday, March 1 at 5:30 at Southern Star in the old Warehouse Row. There may be a $1 parking charge now I don't know....
I hope to see everybody there! We can talk about a maint/mod day and the Dragon!!
I would love to come but have class.
However, I try to make weekend drives or mod/maint days. (I like working on cars almost as much as driving.)
I am also in on any drive to the MINIs on the Dragon.
Jeff
Did you guys meet even though the weather was bad? I've been out of town the past three weeks and Samantha's been sick. When is everyone up for another meetup?

Yes we met!! Despite wind and torrential rains...didn't stop our MINIS!!
We had a great time. Lotsa new faces! Philip and his wife, Kris and the Neeley's were there. But we were visiting and I didn't think to ask about another get together. Duh! So...some interest has been shown about a maintenance day (group oil change, brakes etc). I'm afraid I will bring the eats but will have to defer the technical aspects to the more mechanically learned folks!!
Anybody have any ideas?
I like the idea of a maintenance meetup! Our MINIs are due for their "in between dealer" oil changes and a tire rotation. I'm also thinking about installing some ceramic brake pads on Zipper. I'm tired of scrubbing nasty brake dust off my web spokes every few days. Heck, we could even break out the Zaino and make it a shine party as well!
We have plenty of driveway space to park a bunch of MINIs and a good size deck / screened porch for everyone to relax on.

Chris,
I just did Hawk ceramic pads a couple of weeks ago and they are great.
I got them from the brake vendor here on NAM for a very good price (TCE I think).
Not hard to do and I can bring the Harbor Freight brake tool for the rears.
Jeff
Can't come on Sat. unless it's late afternoon. But ya'll have a great time!! Take pictures!
We can't have this without you! What about a weekend in April? Would everyone mind posting their availability or PM(ing) it to me?
I have Spring fever! As a matter fact, I just put the first of 20+ coats of Zaino on Zipper this evening. This early daylight savings time change is great for us OCD MINI shine people!
I know that everyone is busy or has conflicting schedules. We even have to skip the Atlanta MINIS scavenger hunt next weekend.
-Chris
