I have a 3G, you can have it.

He gives a discount if you show your club badge. He charged me $100 for all 5 windows, 50% tint, which is VA legal. :itsme: You can actually go as far as 35% in the back, but since I live in DC and almost no tint is legal there, so I didn't want to push my luck too much.

Mach V did mine. I think I paid a little over $200 for the front. Way less than the dealer! You could also go to the DIY place. I think it's $18/hour for the lift.

We will really miss having you here. Everyone was disappointed when I told them yesterday.

Will they be bringing Christmas Ale?

Well, UPS decided to attempt delivery during the two hours I was washing the MINI yesterday. It must not have been my regular driver because he usually doesn't deliver until 6-7pm. So, I won't have the shirts until Monday. :banghead:

I'll be there. Don't judge the 1/2 detailed MINI.

The t-shirts will be here tomorrow. (Grill badges are in, already). I am planning on mailing them out on Monday. If you do NOT want your shirts/badges mailed to you, please let me know before Monday. I would really like to avoid bringing them to MOTD. I have enough stuff to transport.

The grill badges are here and the t-shirts will arrive tomorrow. I plan on mailing them out on Monday, unless I see people before. Also, there's a little surprise for everyone in the package!

I have black vinyl, both matte and shiny, should anyone need some.

That looks great!! You should buy the airbrush and paint Cricket's trim!

I got a nod on the way back today (on 50) from a Mellow Yellow Zipcar!!

For anyone who hasn't seen the update, there are now 500 MINIS registered. 500!!! My head is going to explode. 500 MINIs...

I tagged a Countryman in Georgetown today!

No mean smilies. Kind of defeats the purpose.

Yes - I think we do! :top::sheep:

There is NO WAY I will miss MOTD!!! I don't care if I have to take a Zipcar, I'll be there!

I'll bring my extra radios, too.

Thanks everyone! I've decided not to take her on the Spring Fling Run, but I'll continue to drive around town. I'm out of warranty by 3000 miles. The SA said he's going to try to get it covered. If not, I have an extended warranty, so I'll be ok on the cost. I believe this has been going on for a long time and it just recently got worse. I mentioned it to PMoA on one of my recent visits and they just added oil and said it was fine. :questionmark:

Well, it's finally my turn for this. I started Cricket this afternoon and she was making a terrible noise. I was near MoS, so I stopped in. The SA was shocked I hadn't had the timing chain replaced yet and is pretty sure that's the issue. Here's my question: I can't take her in until Monday. The SA said it was fine to drive her, but should I? What about the run on Saturday?

Guess how many pairs of shoes I'll bring to MOTD Last year, I got teased because a brought 12 pairs of shoes. So, this year, I've decided to hold a contest. Guess how many pairs of shoes I'll bring! The winner will get something- I haven't decided what yet. Please pm your guesses to Kgdblu. Do NOT post them here! Hint: I will bring at least 3 pairs and less than 100.

Another opinion on the tires: I chose to stick with the run flats. (I have the same ones as Edge). I don't mind the harsher ride at all. I decided to keep them because I don't want to have to deal with changing/plugging/sliming a tire in who knows what kind of a neighborhood. I do agree they aren't perfect and you can still have problems, just as the person on the run did. You CAN fix them if you get a nail (or similar) in them, as long as it is further than 1" from the sidewall. Mr.Tire can deal with run flats and they're pretty common in the area. It comes down to a personal preference. I was ready to switch to non run flats and realized the piece of mind they gave me was worth the trade off. As for your other questions... I always use 93 (or 91, if 93 isn't available). I don't have anything to add the other questions, those have been covered pretty well. I always wave, unless I really don't see you, and then I feel bad. I hardly ever get waves back, but that's ok. (Well, not really, but I can't take away the person's MINI)!

I just ordered a roll of this from Griots. :motor:
