Don't forget P-Tuning, another of our vendors
I was just there this past weekend. They are great!

we do mount and balance at PTUNING
I know
, we are trying to get my hubs some new tires but on the cheap for his nissan truck. He was just trying to cut some corners. He is freaking out a bit on costs with our transfer and all. -
That's some pricey equipment. Erin, not sure the area you are at, but at the auto hobby shop here on quantico it is 14 bucks a tire, 18 for low profile. I am not sure the side wall height that separates standard and low profile.
Ooo, I totally forgot about the auto hobby shops. Good call!
-
Hi guys, does anyone have the gear to mount and balance tires? Garage Mahal???

The Land Rover I had before Rigsby had a set of Hella off road lights - loved the way they looked both on and off.
At the seven year mark the solid state high current relay that controlled them failed. The lights simply wouldn't turn on under any circumstances.
I passed inspection for a few more years before one inspector told me he would fail the vehicle unless I put covers on the lights even though they wouldn't come on under any circumstances.
Glad I kept the covers in the back! I popped them on and passed.
I keep Rigsby's driving light covers in the boot side storage just in case.

I'm going to try this again with the covers on. If I take it to MINI I can get it for free. I just wish they had known that because I had the covers in the boot.
-
Yep. When covered, they are considered "inoperative".
Funny that this happened though, I've found that PMoA is really super picky when doing their inspections. The lights would have gotten you at most places though.
Hmm, well looks like the free inspection at PMoA isn't going to happen. I'll just put the covers on them and take them to the gas station.
-
If you put covers on them, it will pass. Actually, fog lights can only be wired to low beans and driving/rally lights to high beams. The "quick fix" though is to have covers for them.
Really? So if I just put the solid covers on them they will pass?
-
So, Tycoon failed her VA state inspection today. I wanted to get her inspection done for two reasons.
She is due come March 1 for a safety and I thought, well, lets do it before I put her new exhaust on come Saturday (second reason) even though I don't need emissions.
I didn't even think about the rally lights being a problem. Turns out in VA that if you have extra lights on your car they can only be wired in to the high beams and nothing else. Passport MINI service dept. caught it. :banghead:
-
Just tagged what looks like a brand new cabrio purchased at Sterling MINI. VA Tag "Ogie &Me". Parked right in front of my house!!
-
You all are all so funny. He said yes to riding with everyone but kind of paused on riding in Loki.
They get there on Tuesday so PawPaw would be uber excited to ride along in Tycoon!
WooHoo!!
-
Sorry to hear that, what the hell is insurance good for half the time!? I completely understand.
Yeah, tell me about it. They will fix the damage cause by said foundation problem, but not the foundation. It makes no sense. But, now I'll just be putting all extras towards MOTD and MTTS that would have gone to local play time and mods. At least I had already bought the exhaust...don't tell Jake.
-
You know my fat girl has room! And since Jake refuses to ride with me :stupid:, I'll always be looking for a navigator.
-
So, I might have to cancel saying I can go. It's looking like our insurance isn't going to cover the leak in our foundation. So, all our money is going to be going to the 6,000 dollar bill that will be to fix it. Sorry guys.
-
He might be able to catch a ride with me. It will either be in the middle of the night Wed or butt-crack of dawn thurs! I won't know until closer to the event but the Bird Nerd is def welcomed!
Perfect!!! Thanks Quitta!
-
Well, this isn't exactly for a room but for a ride. My hubs, Jake, can't take off the whole week. Is there anyone leaving on Wed. the 30th driving down that he could catch a ride with?
-
I'm sure you'll find a place
If I know Erin, she'll get her way and you guys will be there happily settled in a nice cabin.
Fury might wait until end of March beginning of April. Due to New Years resolutions "Positive, sugar and honey Erin" might make an appearance for a month or two. But I will get in. One way or another, most likely on "Scarey, I will shoot you in your sleep, I'm crazy calm but fury Erin".
-
I'll take Lucy down Parson's. We have a dirty reputation to uphold at the car show.
WooHoo! Love it!
-
I think that is the same time slot as the GP Run but if you go on another day I'd like to ride along.
Yep, I think it is. But I figured you wouldn't be up for taking Smokie down Parsons....... But I am going to be doing a pre run earlier in the week if you would like to tag along!
-
So for all you Countrymen, Pacemen, Clubbies, and MINIs in general that want to get a bit dirty at MOTD. Quitta, just look away right now. It looks like I'm leading a run out to Parsons Branch and Cades Cove loop. :motor:
Just got the go ahead from Barry and it is up on the schedule. I had asked Jill Raymer to lead it (the beast JCW with the brush guards) but she will be leaving early to attend her son's college graduation. So it looks like I'm in. We will be leaving directly after the Panoramic Photo and be back in time to see the end of the car show. So, if you want to go, make sure and sign up on Jan. 11th!!!Of course the disclaimer is this is all dependent on weather. If the crossings are high like they were last year we will have to cancel. But I'm going to remain optimistic. Can't wait for MOTD!!!
-
Craig and Lona,
Thank you so much for hosting. It was a wonderful evening!!
-
So, how did I manage to spend 100 Bones on MOTD registration this year?!?!?
Geez! Could the tshirts be more awesome?!??
I walked away with 83 smackers. And that was only because I showed some discipline and didn't buy the moonshiners tee (which I'm regretting) and the second badge. I'm loving them all (except the event tees themselves) They look kind of weird.
-
They will give you a cabin just to get you to stop calling
This is my evil plan.....MWAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA.:evil:
-
I hope you guys get in. Keep calling since different people seem to have different answers. What gets me is every year we see a few empty cabins, how does that happen?
One year the cabin across from us had some bikers that got the cabin that weekend. Last year the cabin across from us was empty the whole time.
Yeah, the lady I had talked to the last couple of times (who told me I was 2nd on the list) said that she didn't see a problem with us getting in because they usually have people cancel and that I was so high up on the list. Now, the director of ops guy, says "I don't know who told you that because this is a very popular event..." blah blah blah. Well, he is going to know my name, because I'm going to be emailing him every single week to ask if the line has started moving.
-
Well, I asked what number typically they clear to on the waiting list. He said between 20-40. So, fingers crossed, fingers crossed.
