    Chad at Detroit Tunes is having his annual Spring Cleaning event on 5/14. I'm a "Special Guest" so will be there. Plan on leaving the Short North area about 7.30am to get there about 11.30ish.

    I'll probably spend the night too.

    Care to join me?

    Sounds better than hauling boxes out of a truck all day....but it needs to be done. Enjoy being a special guest!

    Sounds like a great idea. I need to check the family calendar to see if I can manage a hall pass :D

    We are happy to have anyone make it up here. It will be great to meet Nathan. I think there is going to be a big turnout.

    See you in a week!

    Motor On!

    Depending on various factors I may be up for that....

    I'll let you know.

    Anyone know how many donut shops are along the way?

    I'll see if I or someone with MMMC can rustle up a dozen Pączkis. We won't let you go into withdrawals. :)

    Edit: They are a Fat Tuesday pastry and might not be available. Anyway, we won't let you leave hungry. :D

    Cheers!

    So, what is the plan?

    Well, I have been waffling on this all week but I think I just need to get away for some R&R.

    Has anyone made any plans for this? Like we can meet up some place and go from there etc?

    Is everyone planning on coming home Sat. night? I see where Nathan mentioned that he might stay over.

    :popcorn:

    I think I will be putting brakes on the NOT N MG this weekend. I'd like to go, but it's time for other than MINI car work.

    Only plan at this time is to leave the Short North area about 7.30AM. The route thet Google Maps has takes me up 315 to 23 to 15 to I-75.

    Let me know where you want to meet along that route and about what time. PM a phone # to. I have FRS radios, they are charged but I can never hear them when driving so they are useless to me.

    Hey Nate, wish I could join you, but it is a long haul from here. Colorado.

    While your at the shop ask Chad for an update as to where my DBA4000 Front Rotors are! :devil:

    Might get an interesting reaction or just a knee jerk.

    Still waiting for DBA USA to get their heads out of their backside. :(

    Drop me pm, if you get a positive reaction.

    EDIT: Sat. AM the lost/mis-ordered rotors just showed up at 11:25AM via FED-EX, have to check to see if this set is the correct set. :)

    More Pics

    Thought I would add to the fun. Here are some various pics of some of the cars.

    The event was really a lot of fun. Had a great time meeting everyone and just checking out all the really nice mods that folks were sporting.

    Bonus!! While I was there, I decided to take advantage of the deal on window tint. :D
