TGGRRR (Ali)

Mark's car Max has a tint that makes it hard too. I swear at night I don't even try if the windows are up, there's no point.

How you taunt them..... :rofl:

Ok, well it was one of them I was happy to get a wave :itsme:

Thanks for the tip Jim, I'll try it. We were trying various polishes with some success, but not 100%

I had a MINIrific evening. First in the 5 miles to get to from our house to the restaurant we got two good waves. One interchange yellow Cabrio and a black one (is Astro Black the only black). Then we got to Food Matters and decided to sit outside. There are lots of MINIs in that area, and a dark silver one pulled up to the stop sign. I decided to try something that I have thought of before and flashed them the Peace sign. I figure, if they're MINI people, they'll get it. THEY DID!!! She rolled down the window and said "Tigger?" It was Christina from the club. Now I'm not sure if I know Christina yet, but she promised that next time she sees us at the restaurant that they're going to come down and join us. See... A fun MINI night :party:

I'll bring my buffer and plenty of Prima products. We had an unofficial detailing party at my townhouse right before the Dragon. We did 6 MINIs and had a lot of fun. I learned a lot of little tricks and I also was able to help others. We all got a bit obsessed with getting the tear stains off of the bonnets (spots where the washer fluid comes out), we had moderate success on that. It's always more fun to work on the car with other MINIacs along.

Woo hoooooo

Gart, I would contact Roy and Brenda directly as they don't monitor the board regularly. I'm sure they can help. Ali

We changed the food, we're making it cheap now to keep the whole group together Ali

I think Tigger threw a code once and have done a slew of Seafoams , it cleared on it's own in a few days. Mark's Gen Two throws a code each time, I think it cleared on it's own also, but I may have had Craig clear it. I can't remember. Ali

YAY!!!!!!:marshmellow::marshmellow::marshmellow::marshmellow:

Actually Katie has just offered to let us use her place for a detailing and Seafoam party. I also have an Exxon station in Annandale that will let us do a detailing party and we could do Seafoam there. So that's two places where we can do it for free! A few of us once went to the DIY for Seafoaming, he didn't charge us a lot. We were also detailing our cars and applying stripes. It was a decent location. I have to work with Katie on a date for her detailing/ Seafoam party and will post details!!! Ali

It's always good to hear the Seafoam testimonials.

We really do need to plan this, the issue always is, where can we do it?

Thanks Dale!

I posted on my FB wall, I copied from Haemish's status. Maybe we can get some non-MINIs to come play

I should be able to get some from work.

Thanks Dale We had fun. I loved your rally. I don't think you got an advantage by knowing the area either. Your clues were so obscure. It was really challenging. Ali

Basically a picnic type of thing. We're going to find a sandwich place or grocery story to grab some food (you can bring your own) and then either eat in a park or all together amongst our cars in a parking lot. It's the last part of the run that we need to figure out Ali

next year I'm getting Tigger in there. Tigger wants a tune!!

You will be given a list of things, each thing has points assigned. You need to bring a digital camera (no cell phone cameras please) You go through the list and get pics of everything that you can. There is more on the list then is possible to get in a day. There are also some things that you need to find and bring back. last year it was a spork, and a few other odd little things. We ask that you only submit one image per item on the list. When you get to the end, you give us the digital card, we validate your images and tally up your score. I think I got everything, but I'm sure Laura will pipe in if I missed something Ali

I am being nice. That's my biggest fact about Turbos and Super Chargers. At the Dragon I learned a little more about how they give the best torque at certain RPMs. I've learned so much from you guys. Ali

Hey Brian and Celia We canned the Bavarian Inn so now you guys can stick with us for lunch Ali

Superchargers whine Turbos go psssssss

Thanks for the updated comments Craig I think the Memorial Run is a great idea. I'm looking forward to a way to remember and celebrate Jay doing something that he loved to do. Ali
