Need some help, I'm looking for the name of the resteraunt in San Francisco that has been around for a long time and is a named "____ Place" if I rember correctly. I thinks Mini Chef and or SRTech have the answer but I can't remember what they said. Hope everyone enjoyed the weekend..

Thanks for all the support that all of you give not only the service members that are deployed but more importantly to our families that are at home.

Steve thanks for helping Will out with advice, nothing like being 1/2 way around the world buying a car while seeking advice and guidance.

This is exactly the look I was shooting for on FPD v.1:



Since my plans are on a different line - I nominate the J-iMINImachine! (get it: iMINI.... )

We're back home now (it's nice to be home!). On our last day in the Philippines, of course we visted the one and only Mini dealer in the country! It looked like a lot of other Mini dealers, but that's probably because its in a newer area that looks a lot of Western cities. I'll post a couple of pics later (once I remember how to resize them so they load easier).

We did pick up a couple of things for our Clubbie, and it only set us back 8,000 Philippine pesos! Anyone going to bowling on Saturday will see them.

On a separate note, I'm trying to figure our how to remove the grill, so I can attach the Mini badge holder and finally add the Philippine flag badge. It's the horizontal bar type grill, and I don't know how to get the push nuts (I can't remember exactly what they are called) off without breaking them. Any thoughts or ideas?

Thanks.

Big Steve,

Was wondering if you were able to write up that estimate for me.

Thanks,
Teddy

Sounds like you had a great trip!! Did you take any pictures of the towns you explored that you can post, so we can live vicariously through your adventure? That's hilarious that you actually went looking for a MINI dealership while outta the US. I thought I was hardcore!

Other than that- all seems quiet on the western front. Where is everyone & what're people up to?

Oh, Tom - that was hilarious when I saw/yelled at you on Friday. My buddy was like "hey, ask the guy over there where to go" & at first I was thinking I could figure it out, but hey - you turned out to be the best guy to see!

Cookie & I were in the driveway earlier taking pictures of the side CF-trimmed bumper pieces to send back to the manufacturer. Unfortunately, no dice.

Oh, this is an awesome R56 view. Get JanMINI to do it. I'd say you to do it, but you need to start modding your own car.

Hey Pete if you need to borrow a heat gun I think mine is at the CMS shop if Steve's not using it your welcome to borrow it. I'm thinking a M7 Carbon Fiber wing and scoop would look cool
