Just wanted to give this a bump.

Please think about joining us for the drive, this will be the first joint event between M2C2 and Tar Heel MINIs.

There is a new Starbucks on Speedway Blvd next to Quaker Steak. I going to stop in before meeting at Dave & Buster's.

See you on Saturday

 

Will meet you there about 1000am. We have posted this all over Hendrick and have some new members that will be their 1st time MOTORING. Got one lonely Hubby driving WRX, But wife is smart enough to buy a MINI. He just wants to see what this MINI MANIA is all about, won't take long to convert him. (newlyweds)!!! She got a cool mini with new painted racing stripes on hood!! Yep not decals, paint!!

 

Awesome Luke! Thanks for the bump George, looking forward to it!

Count me in!!! I'm the new member coming with my new husband and my new racing stripes!!!

I'll try to make it to Starbucks, but I may be cleaning the brake dust off about that time! ;-)

Also, Dan didn't get my CAI parts, so think about another DIY type mod Dan can do after Drew's one ball mod...

 

Thanks to George for the inspiration and help organizing this, our Presidents Mark and Luke for endorsing this, Dan for the route / modification / education and everybody for coming out in the misty cold to warm things up!

 

Our first joint adventure went really well. Some of us ate at winery others went out for BBQ. After that a couple fell out but the rest of us took a nice ride thru the country to Grassroots Garage and watched Zip due his thing on Drews mini. I enjoyed talking to all the people who showed up. We have several that saw our post at Hendrick and showed up. Potential new members and they seem to enjoy the mini atmosphere. Still waiting for someone to post some pics. Thanks to all that participated and it was good to meet some of the THMC members. Luke President Mini Motoring Club of Carolinas

Thank You to everyone who showed up, I hope the shop stuff wasn't too boring, but the results were great. Drew loves the One-Ball, and by chance, I made the first cut in the perfect spot to make the 90 deg bend in the right spot without resorting to additional heat shields.
It was great to make new friends and re-acquaint with the rest of you, hope to see some of you at the pulley party next week.
Cheers,
--Dan

 

I saw the flashes... Does anyone have pics of the one-ball with the "Drew Pipe" ? that you can send to me!
Thanks, Dan

 

Dave

You did a great job on setting this event up. Robin and I had a good time. It was was nice to meet folks from THMMC. Thanks to all the M2C2 MINIs that made the event.

Dan thanks for opening up your shop and leading us on the the drive there. Let's do it again sometime.

Thanks
George
