I just renewed for 2017. Yes, I am ready to renew again for 2018 in a few weeks. I'm just glad slackers like me don't get booted from the forum for not paying on time.

I left 495 early and came down Eisenhower eastbound this morning and a GP with temp tags followed/ leapfrogged with me to Holland circle.
GP1656 I think. I will have to keep an eye out in the future where they pulled out.

not sure if Duke Street will still be under construction in between Passport and Landmark mall.

I finally put a k&n filter in my Mini. Had the cleaning kit in the garage for years because my old Saturn had one. Bought a used filter off eBay and did the old clean and reoil.
Strange that my EML light came on the next day...

SOLD to cbryant82

I was driving my daughter to school this morning up canal road to foxhall. Saw a decked-out clubman with dcmm stickers. When she merged in front of me, I saw the OMGmini plates. Too bad I was driving our beat up Sienna at the time, but I wonder if you've seen my wife driving my checkmate in that area some mornings.

How about 100 bucks?
I was just looking through receipts. I paid 150.00 in November 2006 for this shelf. While it's cool, I found that I personally didn't use it much.
I may have to sell or trade my mini soon and this is unlikely to improve my sale or trade value. I popped the original knee bolster in and wrapped this shelf in the packaging mini mania used to ship to me.
I'd prefer that it goes to a new owner who can really appreciate it.

Mat is included. I will try to attach bigger pics so they are clearer.

I have a Euro Parcel Shelf in perfect condition up for sale. I'd love to sell to a local dcmmer, but if there is no interest, I'll list it on ebay at the end of the month.
Bought it from minimania a while back. These are hard to find anymore.
Description copied from http://new.minimania.com/part/NMI7610-KT
Add more storage space in your MINI with this Euro Parcel Shelf. Converts the area under the steering column into a useful shelf for sunglasses, CD's or other small items.This factory shelf does not affect legroom and installs using factory mounting hardware (no modifications necessary).
Fits:
2002-2006 R50 MINI Cooper and R53 Cooper S Hatchback
2005-2008 R52 MINI Cooper and Cooper S Convertibles
The Euro Parcel Shelf matches the charcoal grey color of the lower half of your dash - it's the same color as your current 'kick panel' which it replaces.
All necessary hardware for installation. This kit includes the optional rubber liner.
full size pics are up in photobucket. Click this picture:
(then you have to click the thumbnail for a lytebox picture that has a 'full size' thingy you can click...but full size is pretty huge)

Sean, What kind of lights do you have? I have a pair of PIAA lights that I'm not using so you are welcome to use the covers if they will fit. I've also got a set of Hella 1000's and you are welcome to those covers as well.
I'm willing to bet someone in the club has covers that you can borrow for your safety inspection.
Craig
thanks for the offer, but I should be able to figure something out by next August. I'm kind of digging the idea of the ones that say "4X4" on them

I don't have rally lights so I haven't run into this. Did you take it to Passport for the inspection? They are usually very reasonable to deal with
Passport let me slide on the disabled=ornamental clause. I had to go somewhere else on Friday after 4pm when Passport's inspector wraps up for the week.
Shopping for covers...

thanks for the advice.
The lights I have didn't come with covers.
I mostly followed Blimey's guide here: NAM link although my wiring is more similar to what a guy from Ontario did for some PIAA lights. (should have checked the VA laws first)
Honestly, mine are mostly 'ornamental' anyways. It's the angel-eyes effect I was going for. I even replaced the white LEDs with brighter ones I found on ebay.
I'm looking for plastic covers that can fit and give the appearance of 'installed as original equipment'. I might have seen decorative elastic covers once that could stretch to fit.
too much? 4X4 covers!

Did VA laws change recently with regard to auxilliary or driving lamps?
What I knew from 2009 was that you can't have more than four forward pointing white lights with the ability to illuminate at the same time. So, since the xenon bulbs stay on when you turn on the halogen hi beams, any other lights have to be off. I never figured out how to rewire my rally lights to shut off when the hi beams come on. I disabled my rally lights to get around that so they are technically 'ornamental'.
Today, I was told that driving lights cannot be disabled. If they are on the car, they have to be working. Also, the above rule applies. When I asked how I passed for the past two years but not this year, the inspector said the laws change all the time.
On one hand, I totally understand laws that prevent big trucks with multiple rows of offroading lights from blinding other drivers. On the other hand, these are mini coopers. Minis and rally lights go together like [unending list of things that go together].
IMO, either the xenon bulbs should shut down when the halogen hi beams come on, or the the law should specify how many lights are allowed to point high vs. point low so that you can say the xenon bulbs don't count toward the total of four allowed.
Sorry for the rant, but I'm curious to hear if any other VA residents have run into this.

Yes, thanks Edge. they are 17s.
I'm sorry, I don't visit the dcmm forums as often as I should. Please send offers by PM or email revwillie at gmail dot com.

UPDATE: my wife has decided that she's ready to clean out the garage tomorrow. I won't get into who's crap is who's and who should be throwing stuff away...we're looking forward now folks, not back!
So, anyone willing to pick these up from my house tomorrow can have 'em for free. Well, any mini-related swag or malt beverage offers will not be turned away of course. The point is, they gotta go.
If you PM me, I'll send you a google maps link to my house.
pics show curb rash degree and amount of tire wear. note that the center caps that are pictured are no longer in the wheels.

I don't want to buy an HDTV yet, but our old Panasonic CRT TV has to be hit periodically when the picture blinks out. If you are getting a shiny new HDTV and need to find a home for a working TV that is less than 31 inches wide, I'd be willing to pay you for it and pick it up in the NoVA area.
Was it you???

I wasn't sure. I would guess second generation because of the molding in the rear bumper. But it's been a while since I saw one. The GP number on the driver's side looked like it was peeling. I tried a wave, but the couple inside didn't seem to notice.
