Brain Cramp! I actually got my loan and pricing through USAA not PFCU, although I belong to both. I even priced my car through the buying service and got $4300 off the retail price.

Sounds like a great benefit to those who don't already belong to a CU. I would certainly look into belonging if I didn't already belong to Pentagon Federal CU. I had their financing in hand when I bought Lilli. Mini at the time was offering 0% financing, so Mini won on this one!

I would say it is MINI's ultimate factory performance MINI. Since the are a limited run the engineers do not have to consider parts that can me sourced on a scale capable to supporting mass production. Also the engineers are focus solely on performance, not weigh them again comfort, wear, etc... that a car produced for a large market have to consider. This results in things like the rear seat delete, tying the rear struts together with a bar through what would be storage pace.
So from a solely performance stand point it is the ultimate factory MINI, but not as a daily driver. Thats just my opinion, so it along with a dollar will get you a cup of coffee.
Here you are....I'll forego the $1.

With Waze you might need to go into the settings in the APP and choose Bluetooth for the sound output. It's a little screwy sometimes but I know on my 2017 it comes through the speakers if I hit all the right buttons

The 4 wheel alignment at PTUNING was $135. Club discount of 10% was applied to that.
I did adjust the front a bit before the alignment, dropped it a .25".
Thanks for the info. Who should I talk to at PT about doing the alignment? I live close by, so schedule is not an issue....

What did they charge for the alignment?

I'm maybe right now...with one passenger....

I'm not sure who does it in Northern Virginia, but after doing the coilovers I would also get the car corner weighted, especially if you are going to track the car or run autocrosses. Someone like GT Peace might be able to do it.
Keep in mind that an alignment is different than having the car corner weighted.... https://robrobinette.com/corner_weight.htm

Thanks to everyone who came. Faith and I had a good time seeing everyone. If you forgot a insulated bag that says Western Federal credit Union on it, we have it. Let us know and we will bring it to a event. Great excuse to come to the Daytona 500 Drive.
Hey Carl. That was mine. Hang on to it. If you are around during the day I drive past your street all the time. I can pick it up and you can give me the proper garage tour.....

We'll be bringing some sort of dinner type finger food.....the chef is indicating possibly a Ham and Cheese slider.
I'm only the bag man and Chaufeur.....

Done!

Lilli had a "Lights Malfunction error" on Sunday out in this bloody weather! It went away after resting in the garage.....

I won't be able to attend due to a 21st Birthday party......however, there are many breweries to hit in that area. I would recommend stopping at Lost Rhino and Ocelot. Both have great offerings.......

Hey GreenCactus and Derek I've been busy but would be willing to try and meet for some coding fun.

I'm looking to get a bigger rear bar for my F54 Clubby. Been looking at the NM Engineering stuff. Seems really well made, although a little pricey. http://www.nm-eng.com/345/2/0/0/suspension-chassis.html

German, I hardly knew ya! Good luck! Don't worry, you'll find plenty of Mini lovers out there. One of the originators of White Roof Radio www.whiteroofradio.com lives there. If you don't already know, White Roof Radio is a great podcast about Minis. Cheers! :wavey:

Here's some shots from last weekend when I installed the Cravenspeed Short Shifter and Air Horns on Lilli.

Sport mode doesn't tighten up the steering effort? On my 2017 Clubby, Sport mode takes out all the slack and play in the steering. Not an option on the R60S?

Although I'm a maybe on the RSVP, I do plan to be there, but sh*t happens so I am leaving it at maybe. If I do make it, I would like to make available to anyone interested with F series and some R series cars the Carly phone app and adapter that allows coding on these cars. http://support.mycarly.com/knowledge-base/code-bmw-what-is-possible/
