Been there, it just means you need to come back and learn more. I've always been in the bottom 3. Don't let that discourage you. I don't look at autocross as a competition with anyone but myself. I've learned a ton about my car and my abilities because of autocross. Keep having fun with it!

Welcome to you and Blak I love to see a MINI with a name, it shows the love :love: You were asking about the CAI, I think a lot of the second gens are running the Defenders of Speed. I have a first gen and run a DDM Works, they make one for 2nd gens too. I'm sure you'll get better feedback from the members that are actually driving second gens then from me. It's great to hear how excited you are about your MINI, the obsession only grows. These little guys are too much fun :motor:

I have some cloth charcoal gray seat covers that I am not going to use. If you're interested let me know. I bought them used for $100 and would sell them for that.

You just need seat time now to improve. They only let you take the class once, but when you go back for autocross you can ask to have an instructor ride along once in a while to help you out. Just keep doing it and don't get discouraged :top: At least you're out there trying and having fun!!!

We're registered :top:

Anyone want to see pics from today I put them here http://alicyndrew.smugmug.com/Other/Autocross-7-28-2012/24437208_xt86Th#!i=1992921505&k=H4CHWPm

Kurt just posted this in the HR MINI FB page Kurt Schmuhl 9:11pm Jul 28 Did the Pre-Drive today! Great Roads! For anyone in the DCMM group coming down, we should hit Exit 110 on I-95 around 12:30 give or take a little bit. We could work out a hook up around there if interested. Let me know.

:congrats::congrats:

YEAH!!!!!! :top:

I'm just happy Mark has a MINI

He's my phantom MINI driving husband. Yes I am his Wave secretary, it's a wifely duty. You know Lona would wave for you...

Mark saw Audrey and Scoopie on the beltway this morning. He caught up and tried to wave, but Audrey was intent on being a safe driver and didn't see him. He didn't honk and wave wildly. So here's the wave from Max to Scoopie :itsme:

There isn't another Flaming HO that just tinted is there? You can't be referring to me....

The tech inspection is not super detailed. They check your tires to make sure they won't fall off. They have you rev the engine and make sure it drops and doesn't stick. I think that's pretty much it.

:wavey: Mark is going to call him.

A friend of mine that lives in Chantilly wants to get his BMW detailed. Does anyone have a recommendation of someone that is good but reasonable. He has kids, this isn't a show room type of car. Any suggestions?

Hey Tim Nice to hear from you. Happy Birthday!!!

That looks nice :top:

This link needs its own thread in the clubhouse

That sounds fairly easy Soon someone will plastidip their entire MINI.....

Wha????? You need to do a tutorial to explain how. That would be a great look for my husband's MINI Max, he can have stripes and ponder if he likes them.... They look great and I like how they're flat and not glossy

Nice pics, I like your stripes too

Sonja!!!! A great name

That made me feel all happy

I commuted in my precious Tigger for the first time in a month today. Had a happy smile and zipped through rush hour without whining. Oh the joy
