    You will be taking or you will be riding. Not going to make it to cars and coffee, would have to leave the house a 0530 and I am not that motivated this week.

     

    Look forward to seeing you at the M&G though.

    what time does it kick off or what time would you plan on getting there?

     

    I can't confirm just yet (weather/wife dependent) but would anyone be interested in attending katie's Cars & Coffee before hand and then drive over to Steerling? That's what we did for our first every Meet and Greet, it would make for a really early morning but you would maximize your car time!

  5. Vinyl Experience

    Brandy won a set of “A” panel graphic graciously donated to the MTTB raffle by one of the club vendors “Itchy Pig” and they look great. I am considering installing them myself.

     

    The process seems pretty straight forward and simple; just preplan, prep, and take our time. I have done plenty of masking off and painting/plastidipping. So I feel I am capable, but does anyone have an experience with vinyl? I would love to pick your brain for personal ticks or what to watch out for.

     

    Thanks

    Words cannot express how much fun I had! Thanks Corey for all your hard work and for coming up with such a fantastic theme. And also for letting some of your girls ride around with me! I learned a lot about boy bands and had a great time.

     

     

    Thanks for letting them ride. You can pull a girl to your car on any run. You and Caylee ( the middle one) will hit it off. Make sure you keep up on your boy band knowledge, if they a cool today. They are likely gross tomorrow.

    How is everyone applying stuff to their cars? I'm concerned about damaging the paint or leaving residue afterward. Additionally my decorations were designed to be used with the top down and no rain, so I'm not sure what to do now. I have a big stuffed bear I was going to tie onto the boot too, but I don't want him all wet either. Suggestions?

     

    He can always ride in the passangers seat and wave!! we will make sure you are on the rightside so it is on the side facing the crowd.

     

    blue painter tape works great with not leaving residue.

    To sort of piggy back off of this thread... and to try and make long story short. The reset function on my onboard computer is not responding *scratches head*... I had brakes/rotors and sensor recently replaced on R56 (with the help of private individual, not dealership)... Front brake sensor light recently came on after turning off (post-new brakes) and I followed MiniMania's instructions online on how to reset it. It reset successfully and stayed off for a while... But as of yesterday it's on again and following those same instructions it doesn't seem to want to reset or go away... Any insight? Brakes feel solid.

     

    hopefully the new sensor did not get kinked, it is just a copper wire in there and if it gets damaged it an cause the light to kick on. If you still have the old sensor cut the wire, strip and expose the two copper wires, then twist together. plug it back into the port and reset. it the light goes off the sensor is bad.

     

    I replaced brandy's and like a week later something on the road kicked up and broke it again. i cut it, twisted, and heat wrapped it. not dealing with it again.
