Anyone want to do a Track Day up at NHMS on 8-8 (yes, I know it's a Monday...)
Us MINI drivers specifically get 10% off!

I'm seriously considering this if it turns out I don't have a final that Monday.

Anyone want to go to the "Cruise Night" that takes place in Danvers every Wednesday? its from 4:30 to "7:30" but I've heard people hang around longer.

Its at the Liberty Tree Mall in the back parking lot.

We can get together and represent the MINI Crew.

OR Another idea I was thinking about was that we all get together one night this week and go play Mini Golf up at Richardson's Ice Cream in Middleton. I'd call it the "Mini golf MINI Meet"

Thinking about blacking out my quarter panels with the leftover vinyl I have. Getting the itch for something to get my mind off my childhood dog passing away.

Aww mann sorry to hear about your dog It's always harsh losing anything let alone a childhood pet.

Sounds like fun, I know I can't go an hour without checking my email so that must have been hell

Thanks, Hopefully that second Photochopped pic is something like the car will resemble when I finally buy coilovers.

Today's part of lust was 15mm spacers I think I am going to pull the trigger on those soon.


Lets get somehting going for this week.

What is a night that you guys are free, I am basically free any night minus friday so just post up any time's or ideas.

I think I am (actually) going to check out that meet in Danvers on Wednesday night, so if anyone wants to tag along just let me know.

Also next Monday (8-8-11) is the track day at NHMS, I am seriously considering going and all MINI drivers get 10% off, so it comes out to be about $247 for the event. Come on out guys!

Forecast for rain -- pretty much all week -- but that shouldn't get in the way of ice cream.
