He wanted everyone to have a good time and he certainly went above the call of duty to make that happen. Thanks Glenn. At the next meet we should all buy Glenn about 30 lunches.
Amen. A BIG thanks to Glenn. BUT..... I don't think he should have had to ask for money, and that people should have offered to "kick in".
AND, the fact that Randy came up with Two sets of spark plugs missing sickens me. I hope the Rat Bastard that took them suffers a massive engine failure.

And a big thanks to BBM for hosting these parties

For the folks who haven’t checked out BBM do yourselves a favor and stop by some time. I know I will be going back for all my service needs including body work and cool mod adds. Jacque and the crew are very MINI knowledgeable and are race nuts as well.

Hope to see ya at the track sometime Jacque.

Yes next time your down Glenn lunch is on me.

To that sneaky mini poser who violated the brother and sister hood of our little group. Hope you cross thread those plugs.

Thanks for the kind words, just wanted to be part of the weekend. I just arrived home after spending the day in S.F. and Jack London Sq. I thought about the stolen spark plugs and what i would say, Ditto what Jim said, Just a little unreal to have a Thief among our Community. Really, Really, had a blast hanging with everyone. FLY High Randy, Thanks BBM, I will be doing business with BBM down the road.. Glenn in Tahoe

Uh, I kicked in for the entire lunch on Saturday (minus the drinks and fruit - Glenn) and some nice couple (the first slot) kicked in breakfast and beer.

Nonetheless, the main reason I bought lunch is that every event that I've been to, Glenn feeds me - the first time I met the guy he shoved a sandwich on me.....

I'll second the props to Jacques - they are not open on the weekends and he has spent the last three or four pulley parties there the entire time - Saturday and Sunday or has paid for Greg to be there. BTW, he does not get a cut of the take - so show him some love and give him some business.

Awesome! I think we should have a picnic where we all buy each other lunch!
And a BIGGIE thanks to Jacques,too. Not only for hosting the Pulley-Party, but for doing a coolant change on my car. When he was finished, I reached for my wallet, he said "It's on the House"!! What at totally cool thing to do !! So payday after next, he'll be doing the Header/Cat install on my car. Have to do shocks first. (Thanks, Steve)

Dude, whoever buys you and I lunch is already double in the hole - you're about 7' tall and my doctor claims that the only way my weight is healthy is if I was about that tall...........

Seriously, this was the third time I've met Glenn and all three times he's bought food for the group.

He tried to pay on Saturday, while we were picking up the food his wallet was out and his hands were idling over his wad of cash, but fair's fair - I gotta keep my karmic slate as clean as possible.........

I gotta idea. Why don't we all cruise up to Lake Tahoe, and we'll buy you and Glenn lunch? I hear the Casinos have some pretty mean buffets!
Hope to see you soon,
Jim

Great can't wait to how it comes out. This will be on my list along with the BBK you have. I will have BBM do the install.

I'm kinda glad I only have 9K more miles left on the warranty, after that I will never go back to a dealer for work again. From now on it’s BBM all the way.

My best friend is the Executive Chef at Palomino in SF.

Get Glenn to come down for an evening and we can buy him a real dinner.

I have to say that Randy & Brian are super nice and I loved having them work on my car for the last pulley party in the bay area. Love the powder coated red pulley too! (jealous of the signature in the last car though)

I had to hope that the plugs would turn up when Randy packed up, but it does make me a little pissed off to hear that they did go walk about.

Great to meet all sorts of new MINI owners and loved to see that everyone was getting in on the instal. Nikki with her small hands for the auto up and Paul & the gang with his new cooler.

Thanks for the wonderful stories Randy and hope to see you in VEGAS next year for my next set of mods.
