Soulfire got new feet... again, and some 3M DI-NOC CF Vinyl
Edge replied to JustJAY's topic in Maintenance & Modifications
Very nice - what happened to those really sweet ones you bought from Tüls? -
That was indeed part of my joking reference.

Nah, we'll call them DFKAMoT. Dealership Formerly Known As MINI of Towson. :top: Of course I'm sure there are many other "creative"

Yeah there's a lot of wineries we'll be driving by or near. However, the logistics of arranging such a large group (over 30, although not everyone will necess

Just a heads up - we will not be visiting Naked Mountain Winery. Laura and I stopped by there yesterday to chat about us coming to visit, and they have very strict size limitations on groups, so we'll be passing them by. Sorry, no wine ta

I just checked - it's still open and working... :questionmark:

Now that I have them off the car and looked at them, they are actually in much better condition than I thought. "Beater" was too strong a word. :embarassed: I'll be posting them for sale (with pics) soon. Hopefully someone will want them!

My memory has completely faded. :embarassed:

Jay, Are your new toggles actually functional? Or are you only talking about doing it that way for the appearance? I think Audrey's intent is to actually use the new toggle(s), hence the question.
-
New MINI Stuff is a good source for Euro-only parts, I've bought a number of things from them before. However, you can buy a full toggle switch bank here in the USA from any dealer. I suggest trying Morristown MINI - they have traditionally sold OEM parts at 20% under list. Chances are it will be cheaper to buy the toggle switch bank from them. Mind you, you may want to look into actually retrofitting the fog lights you don't have while you're at it.

Why would it be shameful? Perhaps she doesn't mind him going solo and enjoying himself for a few days. :questionmark:

Awesome - money sent. :top:

I'm very happy with my Pirelli PZero RFTs (also available in non-RFT of course).

We use the "standard" MINI configuration, which is: Channel 7 Subchannel 21 :top:

until<p>It's that time of the year again! Spring is in the air, old man Winter is running off to hide, and the trees are starting to blossom!</p> <p> </p> <p>Just like I did in <a href="http://www.northamericanmotoring.com/forums/dc-metro-minis-archive/131437-sunday-apr-6th-and-20th-spring-fling-2008-sunday-drive-and-brunch.html" rel="external nofollow">previous</a> <a href="http://www.dcmetrominis.org/forums/showthread.php?t=286" rel="external nofollow">years</a>, I'm organizing the Spring Fling run again, this time on <strong>Sunday, April 18</strong>. Why not come out and celebrate both Spring and finishing your taxes? </p> <p> </p> <p><strong>WHERE TO MEET:</strong> Sterling Wegmans parking lot (North-East corner)</p> <p><strong>WHEN:</strong> Sunday, April 18 @ 9:30am. Driver's meeting at 9:50am. We depart at 10am <strong>sharp!</strong> <span style="color:#FF0000;"><strong>Don't be late!</strong></span></p> <p><strong>WHAT TO BRING:</strong> Full tank of gas, 2-way radio, money to buy lunch (cash please - makes it easier for the check), sweater/raincoat/umbrella (if necessary, depending on weather) and a fun-loving attitude! :top:</p> <p> </p> <p>A quick refresher:</p> <p> </p> <p>One of my fondest MINI-related memories is the very first drive I ever participated in with DCMM - it was the Spring Fling, created by Bruce Pancoast (<a href="http://www.dcmetrominis.org/forums/member.php?u=68" rel="external nofollow">mty_mini</a>), and organized with help from Jen Oakes (<a href="http://www.dcmetrominis.org/forums/member.php?u=79" rel="external nofollow">Jen</a>) (who was our event coordinator at the time). This all happened on Sunday, April 24, 2005... only 6 or 7 weeks after I picked up my brand new MINI. Alan (<a href="http://www.dcmetrominis.org/forums/member.php?u=2" rel="external nofollow">Scavenger</a>), who was getting his first exposure to the MINI, came along as my co-pilot.</p> <p> </p> <p>Meeting in the Sterling Wegmans parking lot (near MINI of Sterling), it was fun to meet a whole bunch of like-minded MINIacs all at once, for the first time. Little did I know just how much fun there was still to come... after grabbing some coffee and/or breakfast snacks from Wegmans.</p> <p> </p> <p>The roads were beautiful and twisty, and was such an awesome experience to be in a long line of MINIs for the very first time. We stopped for lunch at Orlean Market <span style="color:#000000;">in Upperville, VA</span> (in western Fauquier County), then continued on for wine tasting at Naked Mountain Vineyard & Winery after that, before heading all the way back to Wegmans.</p> <p> </p> <p>It was a long day (128 miles or so!), but <strong>so</strong> nice. Needless to say, I was eager to do this run again.</p> <p> </p> <p>Our brunch stop will be again be at <a href="http://www.griffintavern.com/" rel="external nofollow">Griffin Tavern</a> (<a href="http://www.griffintavern.com/menu_brunch.cfm?PageName=BrunchMenu" rel="external nofollow">menu</a>), since Orlean Market closed down several years ago.</p> <p> </p> <p>For those interested or curious:</p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://www.northamericanmotoring.com/forums/dc-metro-minis-archive/39093-dcmm-sunday-drive-and-brunch-sunday-april-24-10-00-am.html" rel="external nofollow">Original Spring Fling thread (2005)</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.northamericanmotoring.com/forums/dc-metro-minis-archive/131437-sunday-apr-6th-and-20th-spring-fling-2008-sunday-drive-and-brunch.html" rel="external nofollow">Spring Fling 2008 thread</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.northamericanmotoring.com/forums/attachments/dc-metro-minis-archive/31519d1208754738-sunday-apr-6th-and-20th-spring-fling-2008-sunday-drive-and-brunch-dcmm-spring-fling-2008-route-sheet-both-editions-final-.xls" rel="external nofollow">Spring Fling 2008 route sheets</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.dcmetrominis.org/forums/showthread.php?t=286" rel="external nofollow">Spring Fling 2009 thread</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.dcmetrominis.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=46&d=1240184522" rel="external nofollow">Spring Fling 2009 route sheet</a></p> <p> </p> <p>And this year's:</p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://www.dcmetrominis.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=190&d=1271364867" rel="external nofollow"><span style="color:#000000;"><strong>Spring Fling 2010 Route Sheet</strong></span></a></p> <p><a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=45131+Columbia+Pl,+Sterling,+VA+20166&daddr=Loudoun+County+Pkwy+to:Ryan+Rd%2FVA-772+to:VA-860%2FWatson+Rd+to:US-50+to:Lime+Kiln+Rd%2FVA-733+to:Mountville+Rd+to:Foxcroft+Rd%2FVA-626+to:38.969557,-77.73635+to:Pickering+St+to:Atoka+Rd%2FVA-713+to:Atoka+Rd%2FVA-713+to:Grove+Ln%2FVA-55+to:Grove+Ln%2FVA-55+to:Free+State+Rd%2FVA-721+to:659+Zachary+Taylor+Hwy,+VA+22627&geocode=%3BFYU9UwIdQRRi-w%3BFRjuUgIdI0Bh-w%3BFeNQUwIdCzRg-w%3BFVSSUgId6rNf-w%3BFRajUwIdLW1f-w%3BFVhfUwIdiwVe-w%3BFeU4UwId3YVd-w%3B%3BFbicUgIdvc5d-w%3BFaa4UgIdurxc-w%3BFR6uUgIdxLRc-w%3BFfuJUQIdPidb-w%3BFX8JUQIdZ51b-w%3BFeRiUAId3Ftb-w%3B&hl=en&mra=dme&mrcr=0,1&mrsp=8&sz=18&via=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,9,10,11,12,13,14&sll=38.969006,-77.736731&sspn=0.003032,0.004013&ie=UTF8&ll=38.863236,-77.711792&spn=0.621262,1.058807&z=10" rel="external nofollow"><strong>Spring Fling 2010 Morning Route on Google Maps</strong></a></p> <p><a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=659+Zachary+Taylor+Hwy,+VA+22627&daddr=Hume+Rd+to:Leeds+Manor+Rd%2FVA-688+to:Leeds+Manor+Rd%2FVA-688+to:Blueridge+Mountain+Rd%2FVA-601+to:Snickersville+Pike%2FSnickersville+Turnpike%2FVA-734+to:Jeb+Stuart+Rd%2FVA-630+to:39.050085,-77.734559+to:Snickersville+Turnpike%2FVA-734+to:Loudoun+County+Pkwy%2FMoran+Rd%2FOld+Ox+Rd%2FVA-606+to:45131+Columbia+Pl,+Sterling,+VA+20166&geocode=%3BFVqeUAIdiDNY-w%3BFZjjUAIdFuJZ-w%3BFSm8UQIdw9ZZ-w%3BFSBfUwIdrmZa-w%3BFSHAVAIdZ25c-w%3BFRf1UwIdLspd-w%3B%3BFUw7UwIdPHxe-w%3BFdsqUgIdFiph-w%3B&hl=en&mra=dme&mrcr=1&mrsp=7&sz=16&via=1,2,3,4,5,7,8,9&sll=39.052335,-77.733314&sspn=0.012114,0.01605&ie=UTF8&ll=38.863236,-77.711792&spn=0.621262,1.058807&z=10" rel="external nofollow"><strong>Spring Fling 2010 Afternoon Route on Google Maps</strong></a></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>NOTE: Non-member drivers will be expected to sign a waiver before participating.</strong></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>NOTE #2: Due to severe size limitations from the winery, we will not be participating in wine tasting. </strong>However, you are welcome to order yourself a glass of wine with lunch at Griffin Tavern. </p> <p> </p> <p>Hope to see many of you out there again!</p>

I don't have a pic of them on my car, unfortunately (I just checked), and since I took my MINI in for service this morning, that will have to wait. Here's what they look like though: As Jay mentioned above, I'm not sure that these ones are still available (via Detroit Tuned, if they are). Here's what Rogue MINI used to make (as well as custom-designed ones on request): Mini Eyes - Rogue Minis I always liked these better than the "cartoonish" ones that others had, but hey, personal preference.

The eyes are always a nice touch for 1st Gen MINIs. I have blue angry "Dragon" eyes on mine. Love 'em.

I've been on the Italian Job a number of times. It's fun with the MINI theme and all, but I wouldn't consider it a top ride. It's relatively tame compared to the big thrill rides. Not quite a "kiddie" ride, but somewhere in the middle.

I do believe that wave goodbyes were involved.

In a few weeks, I'll be selling my S-Lites. They aren't in great condition (curb rashes), but they will be cheap (I'll probably ask $300 obo). I've been using them as my winter set, but now that I've worn out the snow tires, I've decided to change wheels along with the next set of snow tires. Perfect for someone who wants "beater" set (hey - winter tires! ).
