Thanks for setting this up Ali, nice seeing everyone!
-
I bought his wheels for Sara's car and a wheel stud conversion. Great seller and really patient. I had a bunch of questions for the stud conversion.

The import call that Tyler and I were both in was won by a straight factory 2013 Fiat 500 abath. The owner work for the office putting on the event, so he scored the fiend vote.
Still any day I am at a car show instead of work is a good day
Exactly, a free day from work to look at cars is all the awards I need. Unfortunately I didn't wear sunscreen and now I am paying the price.
-
It was a great show with a nice car turn out. Thanks Tyler for bringing the lotus, it was no Fiat 500 abath, but still nice to see.
Your classic was cool, just not Fiat 500 cool!
-
Sweet, wait damn it they put me in the import class so I have to compete against the Lotus. Self savotage:banghead:
I will just have to challenge you to a drag race:motor:
Drag race you say?
BTW, do we need to be in uniform for this?
-
Just registered, I got permission to attend assuming nothing pressing comes down before then.
-
I will have to check with my command to see if can either take leave or pass this off as a joint service fund raising event.
-
Great work guys!

Now, back to the originally posted issue. I have to wonder if it's a combination of a few things that see an increase in your MPG. 1) Warmer temps (as noted above), 2) Better aerodynamics, and 3) Driving differently because in a lowered car, you are a little more cautions about road hazards...
LOL, not sure if serious! Wrong thread
! or great trolling! -
I'm just curious why you don't want to go if it's raining. It's still a lot of fun
It is a great event! But driving with that many cars can be a little frustrating. Add rain and it only makes it worse.
I wanna go fast!!!!:motor:

Weather is not looking promising, not ready to give up my spot yet though.

I keep forgetting it's so close, I need to save my pennies!

Hey All,
My Vinyl stripes have faded anywhere where a line drawn tangent to the curve on the car is nearly horizontal, where the stripes are vertical they're fine. For a 2012 MINI this seems more than a bit fast (especially since I first noticed it a year ago) Talking to Alexandria MINI I have been informed that Never Before in the ENTIRE history of MINI has this occurred, and therefore it must be user damage. (Considering that Alex MINI has been the one doing all of the car washing I'm a bit confused, maybe there was a chemical attack on one of the DoD sites I work on that we never knew about?!?)
Since my every experience with Alex MINI has been horrific (the car is back in the shop Yet Again, where it lives a minimum of a few times a quarter) I am having serious trouble believing them. Could you let me know if your vehicle (or someone you know's vehicle) has had this issue? Right now the best offer is that they pay for the stripes and I pay $240 for the reinstall.
My stripes are silver & blue since I have a blue & silver coupe.
-l.
Hard to tell without pics, Sara has a 2012 and her stripes are fading as well, but I'm not sure how much worse yours might be. As Craig posted, alot of factors can contribute, if you car spends alot of time in direct sunlight (no garage/parking garage) or if you haven't waxed/coated them it can accelerate the fading process... or ALIENS!!!
-
Awesome product, I need to stop by and see if any will fit my car, I also want to pick one up for Sara for the dragon!
-
I'm having some trouble getting my cutter to cut the cling material. I probably need a new blade.
I won't be able to have them done by Saturday. Let me know when your next autocross is and I'll try to have some by then. Thanks!!
No worries, they next one after this isn't till May so we have plenty of time, though I may run with your BMW group for extra seat time.
-
bump. lower price $250
Ok, I can't let this go on any longer. I will take them.
-
I think I can do that... how big do they need to be?
6 inches or so? Any color except black 2 sets please!
and if you have a logo I'll advertise for you at this Saturdays event

lol@ Catalina
The C&C is every Sunday and it has a good variety of cars. The best part is that you dont have to get there as early. It would be nice to start seeing MINIs at these, you don't see many at any of the C&C events.
