This was not an organized event like May’s will be. The only thing almost everyone did together was eat at Sweetwater BBQ in Robbinsville Friday night. Other than that we went on fun drives around the area and hardcore drives on Hwy 28 and 129.

Ok rabbot,
Who gave you permission to post a piccy of the prototype?
Ryan had noteven cleaned the dust off.
If you look carefully, that picture was originally posted by Minzila. I am just so looking forward to getting a set for myself once they hit production that I had to say something... Can I place an advance order??

If you're going to be running those you may want a plasma booster also.

Remember Bunnicula? The vampire bunny that drained the juice from the carrot instead of eating it? I thought that's what it was. But I suppose it could be rabid... I think each is equally scary!

Where Am I?!?!?

Ok, I just got back from the dragon spent the night at an old friends house then drove backt o Minesota. Just too much driving in one day for me to handle. Now I'm in my dorm room wondering, S or NO S after my very wide open discussion with a number of you guys in the party cabin, Especially Cooper, I'm contemplating the decision to trade my current CVT which kicks @$$ for a cooper in for the Paddle Shifted S in 05. BTW I did have a blast, it was my first time, interestingly enough, the political debate between sndwave, clo and rabbot, I just couldn't resist and put in my own opinions. Rye Thanks for the housing, I just found the checkbook in my car as I was partially unpacked, I'm sending that out pronto. Any ideas for my S situation. Although the rumors are true, I did miss every alarm call made in the party cabin and yes I did catch up although I had no S. I have to say I love my Mini especially for it being my first car which is a dream come true for me, and the CVT which I hate, I am power hungry and I warned Ryan that if I have an S it will have to be faster than his. and Yes Cooper, I will take HPCCC's before I start modding my S. hmm....time to get down to business eh? No I'm not from canada. lol. Ok, While most of you guys are confused as to where I'm from, well two places. I started out in Ann Arbor Michigan when I first bought the Mini, Graduated from high school, then moved to Minesota for college. Well I made a bad choice and I'm seemingly moving back to michigan to transfer into anothe area of study. Rye, you may NOT tell them. HINT HINT! Did I just make it more confusing? Well I am still TOO tired after 12 hours of sleep which does not compenstate enough for 24 hours of driving in two days, I'm yet to unpack my winter wheels, and then post some pics.

*Burning the pics onto a CD for Jess*

So, the day after I get back I swap off my S-lites & Paradas for my winter X-lites and run-flat all-seasons. *sigh*

Decided I'm going to sell my S-lites and use the money towards buying those hyper black rims from Rye-guy.
