    The chrome was going to be the problem child and you now have it and the powder coating is scheduled to be delivered in the nick of time. Not a perfect scenario but better than the no way in hell can we get your stuff by the needed date.

    I guess all my begging worked they called me later yesterday to tell me the power coating was ready. 2 days early. Now I have a week to get ready.

    Went to a BMW club car show (more of a show-off than an actual show) at Autobahn Raceway in conjunction with their track driving school.

    We had about a dozen MINIs attending including this crazy 300+ horsepower Classic.

    Also got about 20 minutes of moderate speed lunchtime lapping on the track.

    I don’t know what you could possibly do to make Checkers any better looking but you have about a month to try.

    I guess then they put it on the rack they must have measured it somehow. Who knows. I'm looking for a stock system then I'll have just about 2 of everything.

    We have it but they don’t open the hood and they check for the catalytic converter with a mirror.
