Not to highjack this thread but what are the rules for emissions testing up here..is it per county?? I know its not a whole state thing as no county in Central VA requires emissions.

I work in a manufacturing plant and have all kinds of wierd screws/bolts. If you can get me the screw or dimensions of it I will see what I can find.

Ok so current update on what Ive put on my mini which will be a daily commuter... So far -Window Tint (will need to be redone by an expert eventually) -Carbon Fiber Dash -Ian Cull Auto-Up Chip (Luv This!!!) -Light in sight (Neck Saver) -Chrome Rim Blackout -Partial Grill Blackout Go Fast Stickers -"Actual Size" Decal -"R50" Decal -DCMM Decal -"Out Motoring" Decal I Luv My MINI :love:

Umm...yeah about that....trust me there is no saving these toes...Hazmat suits might be required

Are these still available?? And will these fit on an R50 Door??

The vinyl is holding up great in some places and will need to be redone in others (curves/circles) I had a hard time with some of the vents and they seems to be coming undone so I will have to try again on most of them. I did the Dash and the down pipes first just to see how i liked it

Do you have any idea on a price for it or is it still OBO??

Thks...but it was totally by accident:headshot:

Every time I go to Dulles 28 for lunch I must see 4-5 Mini's....Also while we were moving this weekend I came across in Charlottesville a Red Mini with the plate of "Lola 09"...Yep I let Cat know.....

Dont mind me it was a long drive yesterday. If someone else grabs it no worries but if they dont give me a few weeks to move and get settled and ill throw you an offer. The one on mine has a gouge and I dont like the chrome bumper gaurds on it so it would look great on mine. Thx

Would the front bumper fit on a Gen 1 mini??

While I was at lunch I came across in the parking lot a very nice Green w/ white stripes "S" so I admired it for a few and tagged it..then went and got lunch.

Just dont look them in their "tooth" and you will be fine :hahaha:

We spent all day yesterday house shopping from everywhere between Manassas to Sterling to Warrenton to Leesburg to Berryville and we saw our fair share of MINI's on the road bu we saw the most Countryman style that ive ever saw in a 10 minute window going from 66 up 15 to Leesburg..It must have been 15-20 MINI's with 10 of them being CM's.. Also Burned a whole tank of gas hunting but we got to meet our first official DCMM member yesterday.....HI LOLA!!!!!

For the price it cant be beaten http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&vxp=mtr&item=221002861090

Yeah...my poor hands are xtra crispy now :banghead:

Well I wanted to get this done befor we moved so spent Fri. night and today getting it done Begining Middle Done After all said and done its $20 and 6 hrs of work to get it here and I absolutely love the look....Now what to do next

Welcome and please keep all Rims, Doors and other accessories fastened down for the duration of the trip.....

Thats easy...3mm.. :}...Other than that I have no idea

Great..Another forum I "have" to sign up to... definetly thanks for all the info. Im still in the infant stages of setting up anything remotely like a trip, but I will definetly keep an eye to the forum for more info from both DCMM and HRMINI.

Lets see...On the way home from dinner Saw A White w/ black stripes w/ 2 occupants A Nice Red w/ White Stripes and I kid you not 5 ppl in it and A nice Blue one with the license plate MINIPETE All of these were withing about 2 miles

***Takes out notepad: Gravel Roads = Possible Death******

Wow...Thx for the info..The hardest part of trying to figure this out is how/where to drive as Charlottesville is a small town but has the traffic patterns of a bowl of spaghetti. What would be the ideal total drive time: 3,4 7hrs??? One option im looking at is since there is some interest in a trip to Monticello is do a Rt 33 W (Ruckersville, Va) to Skyline Drive to (Rt 250 E or I-64E) to Monticello which could be the end point (It has easy access to I-64 to 29N for you Northerners going home :} ) . Google maps has it as a 2- 2 1/2 hr straight drive, but it could be 4 hrs with stops on the Drive. As for food, Is a sit down restaurant (Outback/woodgrill) or a fast food (Burger King/ Taco Bell) preferred??

Im native to the area and would glady set up something with some help from those who have done these before. Moticello is very beautiful, Carters Mountain is alos a beautiful view of Cville, Michie Tavern, Monticello, Ill do some research and see what festivals we have coming up down here. Also for the Whino's there are a pile of vineyards which would probably be a good spot also.

So I see that there are a pile of drives planned here there and anywhere, which is awesome. Unfortunately a drive to DC is quite a bit long for me (2 1/2hrs). So im wondering if there is any drives planned for the Central VA (Charottesville) area. I planned on making a short drive on the skyline drive (I-64 to 33) here in the next few weeks for some photo shoots since the trees are finally coming in and was just wondering if anyone else was up for a drive. _______________________________________________________________
