A perfect birthday....

Sorta MINI related... I will be 75 on Aug. 17 of this year. I am making arrangements to leave on the 16th., drive to Detroit Tuned, and have an RMW shorty header installed, along with some other work. That is the weekend of the big Detroit cruise in on Woodward Blve. where I will spend Saturday. From there I will drive to Lakeside, Oh and spend a few days on Lake Erie. I know some wonderful driving roads (scenic),not like the Dragon. My family has had a cottage there for 40 years and know all the great spots like the Civil War cemetery that is fun to visit. This is a perfect birthday for me. If anyone is in the area and wants to get together, let me know.

Happy birthday, always good when there is not sod over your eyes.

Sounds like a good trip but you need one of Jan's Dominator Cams, some 450 injectors and a RMW Tune to go with that shorty header.

Thanks, WnW. As soon as my car hits 50,000 miles, I will go with the Dominator, the injectors, and a re-tune by Jan.. Great suggestions.
