Both eyes open and hood seems too wide. It doesn't line up with the bumper lines and wheel arches. The driver side rally light shakes really bad at idle. I believe it will be going back in.

The front ends on these are difficult to line up 100%, I've taken apart a couple in my auto body days. But if you are paying for it, then it should be right.

I had my issues with them also... they tried to deliver my car back with body dust all over the inside, hand prints throughout and the outside was covered in dirt. Other than that all my repairs were perfect. Got a $50 gift card out of it... free food.

I will say the car was completely detailed and looked beautiful except for the hood lines.

Wasnt too bad, good showing. 30 something cars. Was a little scattered on the highway but all in all wasnt horrible.

Honestly not sure If I talked to anyone on this site while there. My wife and I brought our basset hound and we ended up talking to a lot of people about him then cars etc.

It was a good time. We were scattered on the cruise up to Loudon.

I saw you guys there but didn't get to speak with you. We debated about bringing our Dashund but decided against it.

He's a basset hound, he's about 70-75 pounds. If he was taller probley could put a saddle on him lol. You wouldnt get far though, he's lazy as hell. Glad everyone had a good time!

A "quick" update from me as we get closer to the Holidays -

I don't plan on getting to any meets within the next couple weeks, as my holiday schedule, unlike my wallet, is packed. I love getting together, but need to put funding where it counts during these next few weeks.

I will be working with a few of you in the near future - to rig up an actual, planned "outing calendar" for the entirety of next years driving season. I personally hope that it will entice new members, as they would be able to plan with more advanced notice. Don't get me wrong, I like you guys a lot, but I'd really like to see more, new members. It's why I got this thing rolling in the first place. Giving people an excuse and an outlet to get to know their cars and other enthusiasts within their extended communities. I just haven't done a good enough job advertising us.

Dan - I know it's a busy time for everyone, but can we set up some kind of meet, chat, Skype, etc. to talk about cards, stickers, clings, etc.? If not, no worries. I can take care of it. Just let me know.

Everyone else - Please think about the things you've done in your MINI (I don't want to hear about baby-making...) - trips you've taken, places you've seen, people you've met, etc. Let me know what the really good ones were, what we can change from this last year, what we need to keep, where you think we can/could go, etc.

We will be expanding - both in members and in trip length. If we get to go on some weekend day-drives, I think that's proof we've done our homework. We are MINIs of New Hampshire, not MINIs of Hillsborough and Merrimack counties. There are great places in this state to visit. We just need to properly plan to have a chance of getting people there.

Best
