I would also like to publically thank Peter and Randy for their incredible hospitality for not only his customer but even to go so far as offering food and shelter to the other vendors I have already sent them a private mail expressing my appreciation. Can't wait for Club M7-07 This time, let's get Custom AV to set up some music and lights

BTW...anyone seen my black folding chair?
Don-Enjoyed meeting you and seeing your MINI. I too would like to thank Peter, Randy and Will for the hospitality and the fantastic products!

Sid- no worries man... someone just say the word and we will have next year's location all pimped out.. full sound system and maybe even a few large screen LCD's with XBOX's and some driving tournaments... Damn the things I think of on the fly....

Anyway, some ask and we shall provide! I look forward to next year's dragon as well as the coming products from m7.

I love my new DFIC and springs!!!!

Thanks to everyone who stopped by and saw us at the club! It was a blast to be sure! I fully expect to see you all make another show of it next year!

Sid, check with Waylen on your chair. I think he saved it from the wild animals!

Nice, huh? The sound is so much more incredible in person. While My MINI lay lame on the side of the road, I had the opportunity to hear Don's MINI pull away at full throttle. I could hardly hear the exhaust, the supercharger/AGS was so beautiful. Ahhhh...

The video has been temporarily disabled. I'm at the limits of my bandwidth this month--yep I've managed to exceed 10GB in 10 days. I've only got 5GB left for the rest of the month.

Hopefully M7 will move the Promo video to their server.

Did anyone get to see it on the big screen at MOTD? It looked pretty sweet, but unfortunately due to various issues beyond my control, it got reencoded and sized to 4:3 instead of the original 16:9 before it got projected. Still looked good and sounded amazing.

Someone fabulously artistic should help me correct the rims in my signature MINI, I'd be easier to spot then

His car has the V3 and the prototype of the new free flow exhaust . The production version is just a few decibels quieter but with the exact same tone. You can actually hear the difference between the V1 in my car and the V3 in Bills Cosi car. From the orders we booked at the Dragon based on the sound only of Don's car we apparently have a winner It is a rather large file but turn up the volume and enjoy

Mini Margie thank you for posting your photos . We were unable to take any shots of our own and really appreciate all those posted from other members. If anyone has any shots ofthe car we would lvoe to see them. I have to think that a photo of it in the bright sunlight would look amazing. That thing was so brite I had to wear sunglasses LOL
