is my day, here yet!?!?!

 

Hey guys

I've got Carlos picking me up from the airport. Does anyone want to volinteer to by Randy and I's chauffer.

 

what kinda '??' is that.....

 

Does Randy need a lift from the airport? If so which one and when? I hope he is coming into BWI

 

What time do you open in the morning and how long does each take to complete?

Exterior only = XX time ?
Ext and Int = XX time ?

Thanks and MTFBWY,
--Will

 

I might be able to help out....

 

I'm not sure how long it takes to do, feel free to call him and I think he gets in around 9. He did mention that need be he would come in early.:smile:

 

Welcome carlos. I know me and my cousin give you a lot of business ( with the scion and vw ) and its good to see that we hooked you up with the mini crew/mdsbrain as well. Ill be down there for the heck of it on the install day just to chill with you guys.

L8ers man.

Come on Scion Life too please.

I called for a Saturday wash time today, and was told they have "other commitments" on Saturday. So, their offer is for Friday, when they will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. I was told that the earlier I could get there, the better, and that before noon is much less crowded than after.

 

I went in this AM for a wash and interior cleaning. They went way above and beyond what I expected for $35, and I am a cheapskate. I had some small paint spatters on my rocker panel, and they buffed and compounded them out of existence. They also got my white wheels cleaner than they have been in a very long time.

As I said, they will not be there on Saturday, but they told me they will be there on Sunday, though they did not have a set time for Sunday when I was there. Well worth checking out if you have Sunday work scheduled, and no appointment needed.

 

May not be able to make it. Depends on if I get my car back today or not.

 

My Vinyl took Mike a bit longer then expected but its sweet . I will post on my blog soon pics and those @ the Tate Bfast will be some of the first to see it.

 

Got my MINI Maxi Estate wagon (the conversion van) graphic(ed) and tinted Friday. Went back after Tate Sat just to hang for 'a little while'. Two hours later I decide to take the one remaining CAI and pulley. Got a Randy test drive , then a slew of us went out to dinner.

Fun fun day, though my two hour stay ended up till about 10 pm.

Thanks to Randy, Mike, and Carlos for my CAI, pulley, graphics, and tint!

 

Just got back a bit ago...

My sides still hurt from laughing so much!!

Thanks everyone who stayed out 'til midnight and made the night so... interesting!


-Paul!!

(PS - 65"!?! )

 

I have pics up now of Mark's Pulley/Intake install.

oh yeah, and I'll get some pictures of my sunroof graphic today. Didn't get any yesterday for some reason.

 

Geez Paul, sounds like you sampled? Just Kidding

Thanks CmdrVimes! EXCELLENT Photos!

 

I want to thank Mike for the great stripes yesterday! Thought I would just be there for 2 hours and after meeting such nice people, I didn't head home until midnight! My sides still hurt this morning from laughing so much yesterday. The test drive with Randy was wild ! Thanks Mike, Randy, and Carlos!

I'm really surprised we didn't get thrown out of Chilis. There were all sorts of evil eyes in our direction during quite a few of the outbursts.

 

Mike--thanks much for the stripe installs on both Coopers. Both cars look great, appreciate you installing stripes that weren't "yours." I'll make it up with a set of those centercaps.

Randy--thanks again for the Milltek install (sorry you had to buy those channel-locks). Ride afterwards was awesome. I'm sure you'll take it as a compliment, but that was the most terrified I have ever been in a car. In all seriousness, it's nice knowing that I've only ever given that car 95% of what it has.

And of course, many thanks to Carlos @ Solar Solutions for the use of his shop. Great Sunday.

Nice meeting and talking to a few of you. MDS, look out for those old guys in Camrys on the way back to Bowie. See ya' round folks!

 

If you think that Chili's was bad, you should have been there for the diner!!

-Paul!

 

I don't even know what to say...for those of you who stayed you know I am now totally broke..

I had tint done by Carlos in May. Got a vinyl job from Mike which we both said looked bad and so we got rid of it and I have a new one.

Randy is the reason I'm broke..but then again I gave the ok to the following:
0% Light weight Crank Pulley, Oil Catch can and H-sport springs .

I smile now but will be so pissed in the morning when work sucks and all I can think of how much I spent on my car

P.S. My 2000th post WOOHOO

 

not to worry, its jus money:smile:

 

I had so much fun. As an added bonus everytime I look at my mini I giggle a bit. I am working on getting pictures up tonight. I meant to do it last night but went out James, Randy, Mike, and Discosmurf to dinner and a bar instead. I laughed more this weekend than I have in a long time - my sides are still hurting.

MDS thanks for the test drive had a great time doing that, though Randy's test drive was AMAZING!

I'm suprised Ledo's did not kick us out - they did not find us funny at all!
