Why do you have to be so negative, daflake?

Broken. That sounds so.... bad.

It wasn't broken. It was modified.

Hello!!
I'm glad to know that all the Mini's are officially "PIMPED".

Hey!! What about a Hockenheim Ring Run?

Henry -- Yes!

You know, last night I was thinking about what made Saturday a success. I came up with a few things.

1. We had a willing instructor. Wow, that made things easier. Learning through doing is so much easier than following along on some slides.

2. We had the right location. Sure, folks brought tools, but anything we needed (short of liquid metal) was there for our use. Thank heavens for super glue, huh?

3. People came to work. Even if it was to only try and work a hydralic jack (unsuccessfully), everyone was there work work on their car.

4. We had parts. Much thanks to Brad and Steve for that.

5. Good people make a difference. It was fun time; it's hard to call it work when it enjoyable.

6. And to be honest, there wasn't a free moment in the weekend. It was chock full-o-goodness, all the way around.

Now, about replicating that formula....

Guys,

On simplymini, the gallery tab at the top will now take you to the menalto gallery that I have installed on the site. Unfortunetly you will need to create another account to get into it as the software is not tied together (yet). I will be working on looking for a solution to that in the near future. You can post you rpics up to it if you would like.

I've got my Sharpie pen ready -- I'm going to go write "M7 R&D" next to it.

6 HP for that.

For only 19.95, and if you act now, you'll throw in a sticker for extra bling. Yes folks, the next greatest mod that will take your MINI to the next level.

Abu Zavi R&D

You know what? I'm going to call it what it really is -- my own damn R&D!



And yeah, that's old school Sharpie bling-bling in action....

Sounds like you guys had a Great time
The pics weren't bad either.

That beer cooler has to go though. Should have atleast been a keg.

Shoot, she was talking about drag racing the whole drive home. She'd just pull the engine and slap in a small block Chevy if she had the chance.
