John's been beached for years. He plays with the Marines mostly, and is afraid of boats so they keep him on land.

The Marshall boost gauge matches the MINI gauges. Have you checked out the gauge thread on NAM? https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ry-gauges.html.

Yes, I bet I forgot to connect the front level sensor on the front control arm. You really don't need headlights at night anyway.

Ok everybody, Custom Mini Shop needs to find a new location in the Fresno or Madera area. Madera County would be better because it is more business friendly and seems to be more willing to deal with small businesses. Does anyone know a commercial real estate agent they like? Please let me know if you know of any good locations for rent/lease. Thanks all.

Steve, give me a buzz on Sunday. I'm going backpacking (5am) tomorrow morning outta Mineral King, but will be back in-the-saddle at work on Sunday. I'll hook you up. I thought your lease & everything was cool "as is"?

So true. If I could have part of my paycheck diverted directly to the CMS account it'd sure save me the hassle.

Valet parking would be cool, but even better...wait for it.....wait for it....valet parking+hand uber-car wash. Score!!

Ehhhh....it's a bad azz ryde, no doubt about it. However, it's in definite need of some madd modding, ie. needs 4-years for the tuners to release some kits for it. Very cool though!!

Dr.Steve, what's the good word on our fatty steering wheel?

How awesome is this!? How about this for stealth??? The speed camera and Police speed trap radar is integrated into the oversized rear view mirror which just clips onto the stock item. JIMINNI eatcho' heart out.

Well, I don't know about CF pants....I can certainly search for some. How 'bout some CF chopsticks. Because "yes" this is what every sushi eater needs.



Or, maybe CF babysit for JIMINNImachine?

You're right -- "Joey" is a great name for your 3rd son.

Next Weekend: Stomp Grapes like Lucy
5 Days Left! Register by September 21
]
As a wine lover, you've probably drunk some nice wine, gone wine tasting, and even met some winemakers. Some of you may have even had the pleasure of experiencing a HARVEST! But many of you have yet to experience the thrill of harvest in wine country with First Crush. So what is this Harvest Experience on September 24 & 25 that we keep talking about?

Chances are, you've seen Lucy stomping grapes but have YOU ever stomped grapes? One of the fun, exciting things you do during First Crush's Harvest Getaways is a GRAPE STOMPING COMPETITION! Here's how it works:

We assign teams. Each team member takes a turn stomping the grapes (the crusher), separating the juice from the skins with a sieve (the presser), and ladling the juice from the sieve and making a mad dash to the bottling table (the bottler) where they fill up empty wine bottles with the juice. The team members rotate until time runs out. The victorious team is the one who has filled the most bottles. This is no ordinary barrel stomp - it's fun, competitive, and just a little bit crazy. Lucy would have loved it!

But before you stomp you'll need wine and nourishment, which First Crush will provide in your beautiful vineyard setting....Read more/Register for just $350





Wine Trivia

When did grape stomping begin as a winemaking process?
