Minichef, when is the next meeting?

Also, I am thinking of getting some new lighter wheels. What do you recommend for a DS/W MINI cooper S.

Thanks, for the recommendation. The Rota Subzeros, are some of the ones that I am intrested in. I may consider those in either flat black or white, hard decision though.

sub zeros are nice ,i went with circuit 10. i wanted white but they are hard to come by. settled for gold and polished, looks great on my brg/wht, thought if i want change i can powdercoat next round. black shows less brake dust.

I never met you, but I arrived late to the May meeting I believe and I saw a BRG car leaving a little early. I am assuming that was you. After the meeting I met up with everyone in the parking lot and went to hang out at Robert's house. I will try to make one of the meetings, but Friday's I leave work and run into traffic, then it is hard to make it to the meetings when you live 3 hours away.

We're back! Fun trip and the best was when they let us rip at Lime Rock on the second lap. I got a lot of comments on the sound of my car when I punched it on the long straight. It goes like a rocket. I can't wait to get the M62 on it. We sold all the M7 exhausts and there will be no more. There may be a new version someday, but not like this one. We got to match a lot of faces to NAM screen names and meet a lot of people who weren't NAM members at all. Some people had never even heard of M7. We got our name out and the response seems really positive. We sold a lot more than I expected, but all of it in the east. Where were the modders in the west? We will be busy getting the shop set up now that we are back, but I have to go back the Bay Area to take care of my clients this week. The next MidCal meeting is the 22nd at Burrito King. Don't you check the website? Later.

Steve

I've been thinking about that for awhile since I used water/methanol injection in my XR4Ti at one time. I'll send you cards, but you have to PM me your address. Thanks for telling people about us. Here's what you need for the slip joints on your exhaust:

I'm sure there are others, but the stuff I have came from the UK and I don't think I can get anymore.

It is good to be back home. The trip was GREAT. Close to 8000 miles total, and over 120 hours of total driving time.
4284 miles from the starting point in Monterey, to Lime Rock.
I will be moving all our products into our shop this week.

We were able to see out the back window on the way home. It was cool.

Just took the 1st load of stuff over to the shop. It was nice to get everything out of the car.
Loading up for the next trip.
