You are.

It's pretty close to the MINI dealership. I just drive around alot until I see lots of BMWs, other sports cars, smell food or see a few MINIs lining up. Parking is sometimes tough so coming early is a nice thing.

 

BME Hawaii is 2 blocks behind BMW/MINI. The entrance to BME is right off Cooke Street on Kawaiahao. If you see the Imperial Plaza Townhouse entrance, you are right there!

 

Hey beast, is there anything we should do to prepare for the Tech Session's car inspection? For instance - remove wheel locks? Just wondering.

No need to remove wheel locks since the wheels are checked but not removed. If anything is broken or missing then repair it or restore it to working condition. The interior is not checked. Mostly mechanicals are looked at according to the checklist in your packet. There is no road test. Just a visual inspection with the car up on a lift. It's done pretty fast.

Also it is a nice time to see under your MINI and check things out. Bring a camera if you like. Check out all the rusted bolts under your engine bay. Mine were rusty within 2 months of ownership.

 

I see, OK then.

I've seen the underneath of my car many times - remember, I actually work on my car.

Guys, just run what ya brung! The cars will be put on a lift to check out the undercarriage so no need to take off wheel locks. Just say thank you to the techs at BME.

I know you work on your car. All the more reason to look at it with a lift.
Kinda hard to take pictures when you are crawling under jackstands.

 

I might stop by to see ya'll and your MINI's. I'm not doing spring fling, but wanted to see what this tech fest thingy is all about.

 

I know what you meant. I was just giving you a ribbing.

Sure, as long as the paint doesn't come off.

 

Not you! I was talking to my friend with the dirty car. You know who you are!

 

my MINI is sooooo clean, I know you not talking to me!!!!!

 

>>my MINI is sooooo clean, I know you not talking to me!!!!!

Please learn the proper vernacular. The back of a MINI is a boot! A booty is a er, uhm.....never mind.

 

If you still need a volunteer car for the detailing demo, I volunteer Lucy. She may or may not be filthy that evening. :smile:
