I want a torque wrench so I can keep an eye on my wheels. I have no idea what is best. I was looking on Amazon. I don't want to buy something super expensive, just something decent. Here's a link to the ones on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_0_6?url=search-alias%3Dautomotive&field-keywords=torque%20wrench&sprefix=torque%2Caps%2C287 suggestions?

It happens and you learn from it. I'm sure you were much more aware on later runs. I've had runs where I just went super slow and pulled over for every one because I just didn't feel right. It's the people that are either not aware or just don't care that are the real problem. You really can't lose focus at all on that road. You don't adjust the radio, you don't do anything but drive and watch ahead. As far ahead as you can see. I remember when I drove Craig's old MINI Archie on the Dragon the first year. He kept saying, "Look at the road, I'll wave"

Nice MINI! -
So I'll have 10th anniversary clings with me if anyone wants one. $4 each
-
I thought I saw Jack in MINI Bee too

Arrrgh I can't watch from work. I'm sure Tyler was within his lane!

GRRRRRRR It could be anyone in shopping centers. People just don't look or care.
-
I'm confused, can't find the shirt
-
Driving to work with the commoners in the rain was so depressing:frown:
-
I think he paid around $300, which is a lot cheaper then the dealer.
-
Mark had his done at the Dragon by Helix. They found moderate carbon so it was a perfect time to do it. I think it took a little over an hour to do and that was with electrical issues in the tent.
-
Yup, I drove with the commoners this morning, got cut off by two Camry's. Welcome home!!! Now I'm pawing through a weeks worth of Email. Mark got home last night with stories of the beltway drivers and how horrible his commute was. I miss our MINI community.

It was great having you there. Edna is a real beast and she looked great. Hmmmm the Lotus is flashy enough don't ya think? I'm still smiling from my ride in it. Most thrilling and scary Dragon ride I've been on. The night is a whole different experience.
-
There's a story behind that of course I think people started voting for her as a joke since there was no Paceman. Then they didn't give her the trophy officially. Later Stephanie was in the Out Motoring tent and they were trying to get rid of the 2 Paceman trophies since they didn't want them, so she took them and gave Celia the first place one since we knew she had votes and had probably won it
-
Imagine our surprise when GP 060 shows up and we get the esteemed honor of Quitta on our couch for the rest of the week. Made the Dragon way better
-
She also got second place R56 and 1st place Paceman

We're home, took a lot of breaks and didn't tempt the traffic gods. I probably shouldn't have taken the top down for the last 60 miles, I feel totally beat up. But not as beat up as I did after the night Dragon ride in the Lotus. Thanks Tyler!!!! It was like an hour long roller coaster ride with no oh Sh!T handle.... Tigger did well at the car show, thanks for everyone's support. I know I wouldn't have won without you guys. He got best 1st gen cabrio (by one vote), best custom paint and spotless. OK it was pouring rain, so I campaigned for spotless by showing everyone how he squeaked. Glamour shots was awesome and fun and I can't wait to finish processing the pictures. The dinners were great, the parties were fun. The Bridal Veil Falls run went off without a hitch. Just a great week. Even the car show in the pouring rain didn't dampen the fun
-
Our old cabin is still empty
-
Grocery shopping then 2 hours on the road Drove several hundred miles in the pouring rain and Tigger is still shiny and beautiful.
-
That's awesome!

I thought they did a great job, especially with my dietary restrictions :congrats:

Hugs are the best
