    I find out the schedule for the rest of my life on Wed.:) I still have to put my trailer back together, put my gauges in, put my cd player in, and then start detailing. Here's hoping...

    I'm trying my best not to just cash in on all 108 PTO hours I have accrued...

    Thursday can't get here fast enough!

    I picked up a rider for the entire trip! (No it's not a lot lizard, or thumber)
    One of my MINI friends quit his job and got clearance from his GF to go... His car will keep the Rat company in the shop, and we're both piling into the Porker with all the camping gear.

    Good afternoon kids! Since this is my first time at The Dragon, well first big MINI event. How does the stuff work if I want to get something done by a vendor? Do I set up and appt. before hand or can I just walk up to say Detroit Tuned and have them clean my intake valves? And maybe get a tune? :) I cannot wait to blow my hard earned moneys on MINI stuff.

    They'll work with you Qik, a call ahead to Chad at Detroit Tuned might not be a bad idea though.

    I changed my plans again... Leaving no later than 8:00 PM TONIGHT!!

    If you know what you want and who you want to do it, I would call now and make an appointment. I made my appointment with Helix over a month ago.

    Call Detroit Tuned ahead of time to schedule a day and time. Not sure if they do onsite walnut blasting. I think Helix might though.

    Ya know...it's amazing what you can learn on vendor's row by just watching. Not talking...just watching.

    Excited to finally make it down this event. My wife and I have registered a few times but something has always come up. We were not sure if this year would be the same so we were kind of last minute and only able to attend the later part of the week. We will be there hopefully Friday evening and then Saturday during the day, we did not register for any of the activities cause we were not sure when we would arrive. Hoping to meet a bunch of people, we have attended both the Minis on the Mack events and have meant so many nice folks. Sitting at my desk ready to hit the road!
