Hey Master Chief,
Going to Japan? I've got some Yen left over floating around the house. I'm looking for a new camera so I'll trade an air horn for a Nikon, sounds like a good deal to me.

Neil

 

It was great getting to know you two at AMVIV. j.

 

There you go blowing a horn again. I want to see what I can find in the way of car parts. I will be very restricted on time this trip.

 

I'm gonna check a couple JDM sites - it'd be sweet if you could bring back some Duell gear. I'm down for any R53 loot that you can score.

 

R52 stuff for me John

 

Neil,
Just got word from one of my contacts over there that they have a "Joe" special for you just waiting for your Yen to arrive. Price today $800.00 US or 75,000 Yen. Picture below

 

Don't fall for it Neil!

 

Figures our resident expert on camera's would step in and blow a good "Hey Joe" deal.

 

now that's funny, my eyes are watering from laughing. Think you can really find one?

 

Well since your a friend you can deal directly with the seller and for a low price you can purchase it today at

What else is going down in mid-Cal town? What's the latest/greatest at CMS? Dr.Steve, are you starting Nick's engine build?

 

I delayed them a bit.

Thanks Steve and John for the quick and thorough checkover of the Clubman before the track day on Friday! I'll let you know how that went, and how the Clubman S who also registered did (and if they are not part of our club, I'll get them in!).

 

Last day at CMS for a few months as I will work tomorrow and head out Wednesday for Japan.

 

Block, new Spec flywheel and clutch, and tranny are in the car thanks to John, Tom and Jim. I still need to replace the pistons before I start reassembly, but the heavy lifting is done.

Steve

 

Oh, and DJ's original MINI showed up with a new owner who is an enthusiastic MINI lover. Welcome Crystal to the club.

Steve

 

Have fun and stop in at NAM and say HI when you get a chance. You will be missed. Take care. See you in a couple months.

Nick & Shelly

 

Remember John, Don't take any lip from those short people there Have a nice and safe trip

 

I heard they have great sushi there Just might have to try some Be safe in MidCal and I will see you on NAM

 

So it was his

 

Bummer Be safe

 

We're gonna miss you Chief!! Be safe & come back in one piece with lots of cool stories. Bonus if you come back with Duell parts! Oh, since you're in the land of the rising sun - come back with an uber-cool dragon tattoo.

 

Goはセリフは京畿従えに行く和恋し

Go ni itte wa go si shitagae

Or as we say at MidCal - When in Rome do as the Romans.

Take care and hurry back.

 

Seriously! Wow, that's awesome. Nick's going to be super-jazzed. I have his NS1 for you, so later this week I'll try to get over to CMS.

That's wayyy cool! Kiki, I didn't know that you spoke Japanese.

 

Don't get too excited, Wikipedia and I speak Japanese! I just hope that they did not play a practical joke on me and I really said something totally obscene.

It's the thought that counts and best wishes are truly being sent from the heart to Tron Chief as he travels to Japan even if I just did wish him fleas in his luggage or something else that cannot be repeated here, ha ha. Hurry back to MidCal Chief, "We'll leave the lights on."

 

Good choice
