Steve, nothing needed always willing to lend a hand

coilovers are very easy to do yourself, all it requires is a jack, jackstands, and a metric socket set. Its actually less work than sport springs because you do not have to take the strut apart or rear sway bar because you are not dropping the subframe. I can always lend a hand and the tools. Looking at your breakdown I see you have koni shocks now, do you have adjustable rear control arms. if you plan to lower the car much more than stock the stock control arms do not have much adjustment to remove the increased negative camber in the rear?

sounds good, there will be a more Marylandish run coming soon.

I feel your pain, but unfortunately early is a necessary evil to make DC bearable. Once I lock in the route coming out of DC, you could jump in then. would be more like 0800ish, better roads around Tyson's and then brunch. Sounds awesome, and if there aren't enough blossoms we will just have you photoshop them in afterward. no one will be any the wiser, lol

Still a bit to far out, sites say March 1st they will start doing predictions. Looking at recent history peak will be first week of April, so we will be I bit ahead of it. Looks like peak bloom ans easter could align that could make it crazy.

Just sent you my email

Event Title: Cherry Blossom Run Event Date: 03/31/2018 06:00 AM to 03/31/2018 10:30 AM Event Address: Come join us on a casual cruise up the George Washington Parkway along the Potomac River through Old Town Alexandria to the Hain’s point (approx. 35min drive). We should arrive as the sun is rising on Washington D.C. and the cherry blossoms.

We will be departing the basin and enjoy some roads as we wind our way around Tyson’s Corner and back down into Fairfax (approx. 1 hour and 30 min) ending at Brion’s for brunch and enjoy each other’s company. A great way to enjoy your MINI and friends and still have the rest of your Sunday Start Point: Woodland Shopping center parking lot (8700 Richmond Hwy Alexandria, VA 22309) End point: Brion’s Grille (10621 Braddock Rd, Fairfax, VA 22032) Schedule of Events: 0600: Driver’s meeting 0615: Wheels up 0650: Arrive at Hain’s Point 0703: Sun Rise 0800ish: Depart Hain’s point 0930: Arrive at Brion’s for Brunch Look for updates and route sheets coming out as we get closer.

I feel like you have built up enough MINI cred, that one of us can post it for you, and just direct them you your profile if interested. Is it previously posted and just needs to be bumped to the top. If not just PM me the info and I will post it. I'm not scared of those administrators, lol.

Needed something to fill the blank space. I will redo it to fix it, if I decide to leave it.

Installation done

It wasn’t to bad for the face it is a simple curve vertically. Then heat is you friend for all the curves on the edges. Weeding it all was the biggest pain took about 3 hours for all of it.

Decided to play with some interior designs today. Snow rolled in before I could put them in. I will add photos of them installed once the snow stops. I used the street map of London for the roads. The girl was not there in the original concept, but my cutter apparently had a drop of data and left a blank strip. So I try to play on the pinup I put on the “A” panel already.

Very noce, so you did the “Jody mod” on your headlights. Was it fairly easy

Is it a replacement or snap over the oem trim

Anytime chrome is removed, it’s a good thing. Looks good

Thank you all for joining us today, hope you all have a great time @Shadow don’t forget your pizza in @CHILLIN boot.

It is supposed to burn off about the time we start

Sorry to hear, hope it’s ready Monday and we see you at an event soon.

Sorry drivers meeting at 10, wheels up at 10:30.

Thanks for the heads up, hope to see you there

You are the extra person in the car for the radio, that makes @CHILLIN prime pickins.

There is a new idea that is going to be posed to the club soon to see if folks are interested

A little more info for those attending, looking like we have 9 confirmed MINIs and 5 maybes so a good size group. The current weather forecast is 60 degree and a 60% chance of light rain nothing that would cancel the run. I am looking for a sweeper so anyone that wants to volunteer great or someone will get voluntold at the drivers meeting (you all know who you are). - Route sheet will be provided at the driver's meeting - Bring radios (If you do not have one I will have extras loan out) Please see the attached graphic to see where we are staging in the parking lot. I look forward to seeing everyone.

Abosultely, we are set to start the second leg at 1230. The second half have the best twisties Yes, rain or shine. As long as no ice/snow. Look like rain or mid 50s so ice should not be an issue.
