	My Mini was hit and run this morning outside my house on a street in Frederick. Luckily only broke my driver’s side mirror - broke cover off and broke up mirror frame some. Didn’t find it until I went out to leave for an appointment. <a class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image" href="https://dcmetrominis.org/forum/uploads/monthly_2022_02/D44811FD-48BC-4F38-8082-4ACAF34BCC51.jpeg.55961dfdcec981213e1d1dd6d54110d4.jpeg" data-fileid="13876" data-fileext="jpeg" rel=""><img class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" data-fileid="13876" data-ratio="133.21" width="563" alt="D44811FD-48BC-4F38-8082-4ACAF34BCC51.thumb.jpeg.ce13bb6ec1e42791c3d3e4f91db80e13.jpeg" src="https://dcmetrominis.org/forum/uploads/monthly_2022_02/D44811FD-48BC-4F38-8082-4ACAF34BCC51.thumb.jpeg.ce13bb6ec1e42791c3d3e4f91db80e13.jpeg" /></a><a class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image" href="https://dcmetrominis.org/forum/uploads/monthly_2022_02/D05F6D59-9501-47A0-B114-ADCC9C09865F.jpeg.79f28c5f8a67c6efd808403bb85f47f6.jpeg" data-fileid="13873" data-fileext="jpeg" rel=""><img class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" data-fileid="13873" data-ratio="133.21" width="563" alt="D05F6D59-9501-47A0-B114-ADCC9C09865F.thumb.jpeg.590d5891b0ea6171776f025aafe2ccfa.jpeg" src="https://dcmetrominis.org/forum/uploads/monthly_2022_02/D05F6D59-9501-47A0-B114-ADCC9C09865F.thumb.jpeg.590d5891b0ea6171776f025aafe2ccfa.jpeg" /></a><a class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image" href="https://dcmetrominis.org/forum/uploads/monthly_2022_02/2B51420A-9E8B-4654-A583-7BB9ED0EEEF4.jpeg.41c61c7220f0939ed799469b3eb294eb.jpeg" data-fileid="13875" data-fileext="jpeg" rel=""><img class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" data-fileid="13875" data-ratio="133.21" width="563" alt="2B51420A-9E8B-4654-A583-7BB9ED0EEEF4.thumb.jpeg.e1aa79867d38e3ecb2787e2f50d2cf71.jpeg" src="https://dcmetrominis.org/forum/uploads/monthly_2022_02/2B51420A-9E8B-4654-A583-7BB9ED0EEEF4.thumb.jpeg.e1aa79867d38e3ecb2787e2f50d2cf71.jpeg" /></a>The entire until will probably need to be replaced.

	I just took my car in for two new tires, rotation/balance and alignment.  I asked whether they still offer a discount to DC Metro Mini Members.  The service rep didn't know and had to check.  He texted me back and stated: "Parts said tires are excluded but I can see what we can do with labor."  He just emailed me the invoice and it looks like I got a discount on labor as well as some credits toward shop supply and disposal fees.  The discount was modest, but appreciated.

<p>Hi MINI gang......</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am now in possession of full diagnostic software for MINI.  It covers all models - past, present, and future.  I am willing to do one of two things:  Plug in to read &amp;/or clear codes with a full printout for a small flat fee OR simply let you use my computer for DIY things for a nominal hourly fee.  You must come here as I do not lend out my computer or cables.  Neither of these options are for me to get rich, but rather to help offset the high cost of obtaining real, licensed, upgradeable hardware and software and also to keep my shop fridge stocked with soda and beer!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If you need dash lights cleared, errors diagnosed, or want to make some modifications, this is the way to do it.  I am not intimately familiar with all of the coding options on the MINIs since I don't own one, but if you can find the info you need, I can help you get into the various modules and program it with you.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I also have VAGCom for VW/Audi and Durametric for Porsche in case you have friends or neighbors who are car enthusiasts with those other marques in their driveways!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Please get in touch with me via regular e-mail fro more info.</p>
<p> </p>

	Welcome to our newest vendor!
</p>

<p style="color:#666666;font-size:14px;">
	We're very fortunate to have OutMotoring join our great roster of vendors that offer discounts to members of DCMM.  OutMotoring is one of the early aftermarket suppliers of parts for modern MINIs and has remained a steadfast supporter of the MINI/Mini community.  I've visited the shop in person on a couple of occasions  (once during MOTD, another while passing through the area) and have thoroughly enjoyed the customer service, extensive selection, and kid-in-a-candy-store feel of exploring their shelves!  I can't count how many times I've ordered online...

<p>Welcome to our newest vendor</p>
<p> Here's the message I got when they approached us about being a vendor. It tells about them and why we want to embrace them as a vendor</p>
<p> </p>
<p> We are a full service shop that works MINIs and many other makes and models. I worked at BMW/MINI sterling and was a shop foreman/ master technician. Shawn Peace was the lead service writer for MINI of Richmond and opened that store when MINI was first in the states. Then later he went to work at BMW/MINI of sterling from 2004-2014. We have a large flowing from the MINI community and more times then not have 5+ MINIs in our shop. You can check out our reviews at <a href="http://www.gtpeaceauto.com/" rel="external nofollow">www.gtpeaceauto.com</a>, Yelp, <a href="http://www.surecritic.com/reviews/gt-peace-automotive" rel="external nofollow">www.surecritic.com/reviews/gt-peace-automotive</a> and check out our facebook page. I would like to talk to you more about what we can do for DC Metro MINIs, host car shows, tech time, and open house events to get you guys in the shop working on your cars! </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>They're offering 10% of parts and labor (nonperformance parts) and group buy services such as carbon cleaning @$399 and 1/2 price state inspections</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p> As usual vendor benefits are for paid members only  and you need to show your club membership ID for the discounts</p>
