    I just heard back from Aaron at Out Motoring, he will be making a prize donation for the raffle prizes. They're really supportive of the MINI community and were happy to make a donation. If you're not familiar they're at http://www.OutMotoring.com

    That was a great day! The weather wasn't too bad this morning either. I'm happy with my runs and we got fun runs at the end. I fit in 4 or 5 more runs. Next year I'm just buying the season pass

    We stayed in the Microtel once, it's nice and the drive in is a lot of fun. Good cheap restaurants near it too

    The problem with clings is the minimum order. They require we buy 100 before the cost starts to get reasonable, buying 100 clings eats a huge chunk into the budget and makes them too expensive for a give away. We tried to figure out a way to sell them, but we still have that 100 cling minimum, and we might only sell 20 of them, so we would have to charge around $5 - $10 a cling depending on the interest. We're also fast running out of time to even get them before the event. A few years ago they were much cheaper. Not sure what happened in the world of clings, but they are pricey now.

    Mark and I are doing all day

  11. TGGRRR (Ali)
    Yay!!! Can't wait to see what you do

    Clings have gotten really expensive so we had to drop them.

    While I'm all excited that I might have finally known something technical. I am pretty sure that wheels are balanced independently and rotating them shouldn't matter. But maybe the rotation made an issue that was there before much worse. Let us know if the balance resolves the issue

    If your tire balance is off you'll feel vibrations at higher speeds. But I can't imagine PD would upset the tire balance.

    It's a HO!!!!

    I'm sorry you have a sick MINI. I don't know about transmissions, but I'm sure someone here will have some thoughts on it. Ali
  17. TGGRRR (Ali)
    Tigger is going for the attention he's a HO like that

    thanks Melissa Arlington Businesses are fine

    Another successful venture in the world of Plastidip

    I'm excited too. I know we'll get some great support. I'd like to get some raffle prizes so if anyone knows of a business that will donate, please contact them and ask. I've found the best way to get prizes is to get help!

    Thanks to everyone that donated, we had a total of 12 units collected and Haemish qualified to give a double. There were a slew of people (not club members) that made appointments but didn't show. I was bummed about that, but happy to see the support from this awesome club.

    All the time, so I'll be sure to get yours right
