Happy New Year
Happy New year to you as well.

Thanks for the info.

I did not know that I could summon you from your sleep by posting in this thread ...I think that we need to do it more often if that is the case, I know you have been busy...but you seem a little ghostly in these parts lately...

My bad...we've been hibernating...

I'm heading out this morning...sorry I missed you guys...

A little belated update on Msfitoy...as some of you might know, I regrettably had to abort the dyno tune when Jan was out here in December...I was the first one up on the chassis dyno that cold wintry morning...temp was around freezing...after extensive warm up attemps and initial delta run, Msfitoy could not get up to operating temperatures...I believe my 180F thermostat is stuck open...:impatient

Hey Sid, looks like I am now going to the auto show on this upcoming Monday if you want to meet up. I have to send Blake and Spencer messages to see when(if) they can come. Anyone else going on Monday shoot me a PM and we will exchange numbers.

Man, your lucky to get to go this week. Sorry to hear you can't make it. Once the winter is gone we need to organize a little trip somewhere in Michigan or Ohio fow a day or so with plenty of curves and hills
I think Blake and Spencer would be down with it.

Hahaha...Whoops!
Well I can delete the link for you...
Yeah, we got hit with about 6"-8" last night and they are calling for another 4"-6" tonight...It has not stopped in Bowling Green yet It started last night at 11:00 and is still going strong



Sid, I swear posting in this thread wakes you from the dead!
I guess it is a reliable way to get a hold of you though


Also, when I am on www.michiganmini.org I cannot "click" on your profile...I can do it to many others but for some reason I am "locked" from yours...

It fits 2003 - 2006? Why wouldn't it fit a 2002?

Msfit have you been hibernating?

May the MINI God pee on your head...

This Global Warming has given us over 80" of snow this year...double the amount in Michigan when the world was "cooler"...that's put a damper on Msfitoy's cruising time...
