Im Back !!!

Well im back from Europe and adjusting to the 5 hour time difference and the funny looking licence plates on the cars here

So how are all my Mini-Friends ???

So who's up for another Mini Coffee meet ???

Also, i took over 800 photos while there, including some of classic Mini's i saw parked around various cities. I can bring my laptop to show everyone if anyone is interested

Hey PortMCS, welcome back!

I posted about coming to a meet right before you went to Europe, so I'm in. I could make it any evening except tonight or Friday.

Starbucks works for me, too. I'll come right from work, so I can't get there until about 6pm.

OK, Cool. Wednesday at Linden Starbucks it is. As far as time anytime after dinner is fine for me. We can do 6, 7 or 8pm i suppose. I think the last meet we did was around 8pm?

DredPyrate, if you want we can this 7-8pm and this will give you some time to go home.

Whats everyone think

Thanks for the offer, Port, but work is closer to Linden than home, so it's easier to just come from work. I don't mind doing that and besides, if I went home first, it would be tempting to just stay on the couch. Even with a MINI sitting in the driveway.

I'm in.
I can leave Jersey City by 6:45.
Gotta look up how to get there from J.C.

PortMCS has mentioned someone might be able to do a pulley install or discuss the possibility of meeting to have it installed at a later date.
I have the removal tool, just need someone who knows how to do it.

Coolness. So the bolt fit eh?

I've been reading about the Vintage Festival at Lime Rock this weekend on nemini.org. Apparently MINIs will be able to take part in a parade lap thanks for MINI of Manhattan . At first I wasn't planning on going since I went last year via MTTS. But now with the parade lap, I just might go. Any of you guys wanna go???
