Tristate Tuner Meet

Anybody interested is representing MINIs at this meet: http://www.tristatetuners.com/forum/...ad.php?t=14097
It happens every week on Wednesdays at the Dunkin Donuts on Sloan Ave. in Hamilton.

My guess is its a mostly youngish crowd scene so I'm kinda leery of cops keeping a close watch but what the hell, its close so I'll give it a shot. Hey, I'm a car nut and I appreciate anything that looks good, sound good and go really fast.

I may be able to talk my buddy into coming so there will be at least two MINIs. That is if it doesn't rain tomorrow. If it does, there's always next week.

Didn't even know about this, I'm at the Hamilton Train Station every day. Not this week though, my b-day. Hopefully next week. Would love to meet a few local Mini owners.

Pretty good turn out. A lot of JDM type kids as expected. Most people rolled in at around 10pm.

Besides FranticFreddy and myself there was one other MINI that showed up. I don't think the owner posts here but his car was all hooked up. It was a red '04 MCS with carbon fiber hood, front fenders, rear hatch and front/rear spoiler. Stipped out interior with just one racing seat and roll cage, sick stereo system and tons of mods to the engine and engine bay.

Should be there again next Wednesday if you're interested.

I am going to try and make it up again this week. Who's coming?

What else is there to do on a Wednesday Night?

Wow, that's almost bedtime for me, 4:15am comes awfully early. I'll see what I can do.

I might be able to swing by again. I'll try to convince two other MINI friends to come too.

I picked mine up from Princeton about a month and a half ago. (So far it's stock) But it would be sick to see that 04' MCS and get some ideas...from other MINI owners, not so much the jdm crew. hah
