Ya I'm the one that was next to you at the car show with the CR/B R53. Pics are up over on MA. Maybe next year they'll split the class and seperate the R53 and the R56 so more folks will be eligible for the iron. It'd only be fair.
Rock On !!!! I loved your car and BSing with you and the wife! I agree, I think there should be a Gen 1 and Gen 2 class, because in my opinion your car was WAY better than mine (even without 2 seperate classes). Funny things happen I guess, but your car was head and shoulders beyond mine...one hell of an impressive ride in my book.

That's very cool of you to say. Thanks very much! I enjoyed the event and we'll be back for more next year... I'll look for ya again and we can share some more BS and a cocktail.
Hopefully your not getting a tow hook also.. I guess now we have to make a team lol
Not exactly.. Planning on getting a tow hook license bracket... Chicago PD loves handing out tickets for not displaying the front LP. I live in the suburbs, so I'd like to keep the front LP off when I'm not in the city, haha. But we can make our own team anyways! MB-Red Rule Stripes Club!

Yeah it's highly illegal in Va too. But they can't pull you over for it. It's a second offense. So I just put the front liscences plate in the front window everytime I park
Took Domina to get her visors replaced. The covers for the mirrors were cracking off. And they even washed her- twice! She looks perfect. I hope a tree doesn't fall on her Sunday.

on the door handles!
on the scratch. I hope you can get that out or at least make it look better.
yeah, that scratch bums me out! its actually not as bad as the photo makes it appear, but I need to get it dealt with. There are a few actually from the previous owner. When I buy cars used, I'd rather see scratches than a repainted door etc. Least I know what Im dealin with! I keep wax in it till I can get the paint looked at. Thanx tho!
Received a goodie via the US Mail (thanks, Rick!!)--an M7 16% pulley and a tensioner stop cable. Gonna sit on 'em for a bit, since I had an unexpected vet bill for my cat, but the new belt and plugs are at the top of my to-do list.
Also, picked up a good deal on a lightly-used set of springs. Gotta get 'em on the car and soak up that lower-ride-height goodness....
I just did mine this spring. I did both, and got IE's fixed camber plates instead of the stock replacement. *MUCH* better!
C ya,

I cracked the strut mount and kept hearing a "Whoop, whoop, whoop" noise so I figured it was that, but now we still hear it so I am pretty sure its a bad strut bellow rubbing up against the strut and what not. This sucks
What I did with my Mini today? Trying to park it so a tree doesn't fall on it, during are hurricane tonight. I purposely did not change the oil or install my driving lights so I wouldn't jinx myself.
