I'm planning on doing this too.
I took the grill off of my R56 and it was just a couple of clips, so pretty easy. I have a set of plastic tools that are meant for removing trim pieces, so hopefully that will help make sure I don't break anything.

Thanks. Took the day off from work and ceramic coated Coopah with CQuartz UK.
I'm really curious about this stuff. How difficult was it to apply?

Longest workday of the year...

I need to pick up beer for the brew swap and wash the car again. The pollen is just insane.

Bring a cooler and have your own happy hour at the meeting. I recommend putting Michael in charge of recruiting for the resistance. Home owners' association are UN-AMERICAN, Michael should be able to cut his grass naked on a riding mower while drinking a Margarita through a three foot swizzle straw is he wants. BECAUSE "MERICA
I’m not opposed to not having coffee in my coffee mug.
Our association doesn’t do much other than snow removal and mowing the common areas. I’m annoyed because the decided to start enforcing parking rules. Except they don’t. Don’t make me put an ugly sticker on my car and then let my neighbor have a broken down, pile of unregistered bolts taking up a visitor spot! <insert Ali-like swearing here>

New wheels/tires are on!
Tomorrow is detailing day. Sunday is laundry and packing.
Dragon Brain is seriously impeding my ability to be productive at work.

I’m now a “no”. I just found out our homeowners association meeting is the same night. We’re having a lot of issues, so I really need to be there. Boo.

The dent guy at the Dragon does a good job. He fixed a couple on Cricket one year. He also fixed a scratch.

Ugh... I have such bad Dragon Brain today...

Do they match his, and was he chanting "one of us, one of us" when you got them.
Is the roof graphic a surprise, do we get a hint?
No, not really. It was more an eye roll about mounting the new tires on the existing wheels and then offering to give me the wheels for my birthday.
Nope, no hints!

***SOLD***
I’m selling Cricket’s Shroth 4-point harnesses.
These were designed for the 1st Gen, but will fit a 2nd Gen.
They are black with green pads. The pads are easily replaced.
The passeger harness was only used a few times. Asking $150
The driver harness is older, so I’m asking $75.
$200 for both (priority given to someone buying both)
Mounting hardware is NOT included. It can be purchased from HMS.

Looking forward to the new season and great company. That is without mentioning the great bar. Wikens is going to be there. First time in public sense he was injured.
I was going to post about that. He's sort of able to walk now, too, which is amazing.
In case someone doesn't know what we are talking about, last year at the IndyCar race at Pocono, Robert Wickens was involved in a really bad crash and was seriously injured. He suffered several injuries, including a spinal injury and he has been unable to walk. Here is a video of the crash:

Do you have the regular lights or the Xenons? I'm guessing you probably having the regular ones, as Michael's roadster has those too and they are pretty dim compared to a lot of other lights. The only way I know to really fix the problem is to convert them to Xenon's which is expensive. You need to buy the entire light assembly and some kind of converter thing (I know that's not helpful). Another option is adding driving lights, so at least if you are driving on dark back roads, you can use those in addition to the regular lights.

We are leaving Saturday, really, really early and will have two cars but we are going to Asheville (I'll be joining you guys at Fontana on Tuesday). We'll probably see you along the way!

I'm getting rid of the Thule Roof Rack I had for Cricket. I bought it 2nd hand for not a lot and have since lost the keys for the locks. It wasn't in great shape when I got it and it's no better now. So, it's FREE! I just want it gone and would rather not just throw it away.
It will fit a 2nd gen 2-dr hardtop. I don't believe it will fit anything else, though you may be able to buy adapters from Thule directly.
Pick up in Poolesville or Tysons or deliver to an event we're both attending.

What runs are you planning to sign up for? They open soon
I think we're only signing up for one run, it's the one with the boat trip at Lake Fontana to the abandoned village. I've always wanted to do that one
I’m signed up for that too!

That one does sound really interesting.
I'm not planning on signing up for any other ones.
