All proceeds will go to the Speedway Childrens Charity. Raffle tickets are $5.00 for one or $10.00 for 3 Chances. See me at any events for tickets prior to AutoFair or mail check 6600 Old Meadow Road, Charlotte NC 28227 make checks payable to Mini Motoring Club of Carolinas. You do not have to be present to win. Make sure you include your address and phone number. More info on the Rear Seat Delete Kit can be found at www.rearseatdelete.com or Shrader Performance 6501 Amberwood Drive, Mt Holly, NC 28120. I have one in my Mini and I love it. So lets help the charity and Good Luck. This would make a nice Christmas gift to a MiniManiac. Luke, President Mini Motoring Club of Carolinas. So far sold tickets to NJ and Colorado, you Carolina people lets step up; it is for Charity. O.K. m2c2.org members, I've sold more raffle tickets in Colorado, and New Jersey than here. Its for Charity and I know you can afford 5 bucks. Luke

 

I have it too, and put 150lbs from wacky two dogs in it frequently, it's lightweight, durable, and installs in minutes...well worth the money I paid, let alone the cheap admission of a raffle ticket!

 

My check is in the mail for a good cause but how long does it take you to reinstall the seats if necessary?

Rich

 

Rich, couldn't tell you as I haver re-installed them. Taking them out if you follow the instructions is quite easy and putting them back in properly might take a little longer. I have it in mine as well and love it as I never had any rear seat passengers. I am going to take mine out and put some sort of fabric on it the help things from sliding all over or slow down, no cover it! Thanks for the donation and will send your tickets back or email you the numbers which every you want. Luke, President Mini Motoring Club of Carolinas.

 

I asked the guy at the dealership before I got it, he said, a) not something you want to do all the time, if you put this in, it's for the "long" term, not like you'd do it every time you want to haul something, b) it's not "that" long to put the seats back, if you had people coming to town and this was your only car or something, c) they (Hendrick's) would do it for me if I had trouble with it, they're VERY fast from having done so many...

 

Rich thanks, your tickets are in the mail. Good luck and tell your Mini buddies as this would make a nice gift even if you don't use it.

 

Luke,
Put me down for $10.00. I will see you tuesday.

Mark

 

Done Minicolo, if you call monday and I am out, have to go stand in line at Social Security Office monday morning. Leave number will call you back. Luke

 

O.k. two more days til the drawing. This kit is valued at $144.50 last chance before the drawing Saturday noon. Make a great gift! Luke

 

We have a winner. Ed Nixon out of the Columbia SC Chapter won the Kit, but he has donated it back to the Club. We will have another drawing at the Annual Meeting the 22nd September. I still have all the entries and we will give it another go Saturday. Luke

 

That's great!
BluCoop, sorry I missed you at Autofair, I stopped by but you were not there to chat. thanks for posting up the winner.

 

Thanks for the donation Steve. Any chance you will be designing one for the new R-56 Mini's?

 

yes we hope to get the 07up Minis soon as well. MINI changed the bolt locations for the seat back assembly so we have to revisit our mounting points. Otherwise, the shape of the kit is exactly the same.

 

Luke,
can you give me Ed's info, so I can call him and see if he would like to motor with cola?

 

HI Lilruffcat, I am not sure he is a member yet? Email Shelly the Secretary and see if she has the info. All I have is his phone #. Don't want to post it on the board. Luke

 

We have a WINNER Mr Mike Fatinos was drawn from all who bought tickets. We will be sending a check to the Speedway Childrens Charities in the amount $350.00. Thanks to all who bought raffle tickets and who participated in the Charity Ride. A special thanks to Steve Shrader of Shraderperformance for the donation of the Rearseat Delete Kit. Its a great product if you don't haul passengers in the back, and gives you more room for hauling other things. They are in the process of making one for the R56 but it isn't available yet. We will post it when it comes on the market Luther Shields, President Mini Motoring Club of Carolinas.
