[Spring Fling 2014: Drive & Lunch in VA wine country]

So my guest list is 3 extra cars lol. One is a silver MINI, my friend Jamie from Frederick, MD; a red R32 that belongs to my coworker Noah, and one of mine and Noah's friends, Martin with a BMW M5. Please be nice to my friends, they want to join the fun. They have been briefed on proper driver etiquette/how nice and welcoming the club is but if needed, a gentle reminder wouldn't hurt.

No hatin'... as long as they're quality european automobiles

I drove my BMW 328i on my first DCMM run before getting my MINI. :motor:

I'd like to get some 5mm spacers with bolts if someone's got some they want to sell/give. Thanks

 

P.S. They need to be 12mm diameter.

Everyone - if you have a 1st Gen and you don't have one of these, BUY IT. It's a really nice addition, and gives you a bit more storage space, which is always nice.....

 

+1 This is an excellent addition for the first gen's!!
