I'm itching to make some exterior changes, maybe one day it will look as cool as yours!

Yes, but it might not be for a while ... I need at the very least to come to a decision about stripes and to install them before I get photos done. I was hoping to get new wheels as well since the ones that are on the car are very beat up, but I have tons of repairs to do (appointment at Greasy's on Monday ...) and possibly more on the way, so I'm trying to hold on to my cash at the moment ... We can chat more on Friday about this!

Just a reminder. We are going to have a short meet at Sonics on Route 1 tomorrow, May 13 at 8 PM. Please stop by to grab some drinks and have a good time with some local MINI owners.

Argh!!! Go figure I was the one who suggested meeting tonight and now I may miss it...
Either that or I may be a little late.

Anyway don't let that stop anyone else from having a good time.

We should set up a weekly meet for the summer, Same night, Different location or something like that.

Check'n In

Just found this thread and I'm glad I did. I've been a very obsessed Cooperite for about a year now and the thing (Benson) just keeps getting better and is draining my wallet but that's a good thing. Here is a couple of pics of my ride. I would love to make tomorrows meet but already have prior plans. I did a belt line delete today which doesn't show in the pics. All mods are being installed by German Performance Service, Brighton, MA. Hope to see you all soon.

I hope everything went well tonight, I am rather annoyed that I couldn't make it all things considered tonight.

How many showed up tonight?

Hopefully we can do something again soon!

Anyone else want to do something next week start throwing out suggestion! I'd love to make this a weekly thing.

You were at car's and Copter? I was too! Small (mini) world

About ten cars IIRC at the time I departed. A very nice showing.

There were a few distinguished gentlemen with sport bikes making a lot of noise, smoke, and generally acting silly.

I was willing to organize an alignment of Mini exhausts in their direction, with the aim of blasting them out of the parking lot with a display of raw, ground-shaking horsepower. Fortunately it did not come to that!

Kaizen Tuning GT5 Time Attack Challenge! One car, one track, prizes for the top 3, trophy for first place!

Music will be provided by DJ Spivak of NH!

Great prizes and raffles will be announced closer to the date of the event. All proceeds will benefit the Susan G. Koman Foundation for the fight against breast cancer.

we will be raffling off a Sony 32" flat screen LCD TV and tons of other good giveaways

Also trophies for the top 3 places in the GT5 Time Attack Challenge
...1st Place: 3 Free Dyno pulls with o2 monitoring (2 or 4wd) ($125 value)
2nd Place: FREE motul oil change @ Kaizen Tuning! ($100+ value)
3rd Place: A kaizen tuning gift basket with kaizen gear



Kaizen Tuning will have a huge season opener sale going on that week with our best selling products, as well as some great specials on labor.

The Kaizen Tuning open house isn't really a "Car Show" its more of a gathering / BBQ, from the past when I've gone everyone usually knows everyone else so its kinda just like a bigger local meet, But of course it's still fun and its still open to the public

I think I will be going tomorrow if the weather holds out but I probably wont if I wake up and its raining.

Is anyone else planning on going tomorrow?

Also, MrCooperS where did you get that quote? are you part of YR?

HAHA, this will sounds creepy but I think I know where you live. My girls sister lives in the condos across the parking lot and I saw your MINI almost everyday until I got mine. Amory?

It was nice to see some of you guys in person on Friday!! And thanks to all who answered my newbie car owner questions

I mentioned that I wanted to get stripes and I know there were two of you at the meet who also wanted new stripes/roof graphic. If anybody else is thinking of having any vinyl work done/stripes then post and maybe we can go as a group.
