Hey Chris,
My first time back on NAM in several months since my operation. I now work out in Bordentown...can't say that I'm happy about it....it was much nicer just driving 15 minutes up 571 to Millstone, but now I have all those country back roads to drive with loads of stop signs and lights...kills the gas milage. I have seen a couple of Minis on my way in to and back from work however.

So exactly where is this gathering located that you posted?

Hey Vlad,
I've been off NAM for awhile doing some post-op recoop. Haven't noticed your sig pix for some time now. Looks like you've added quite a few states to your "Mini Visited" graphic.

Hi Lorin,
Well, now that my back is feeling better I can start thinking about those mods that you have lined up for me. I haven't taken the time to decide which one will be next, but I haven't given up on the modified head and cam scenerio as a possibility. The only issue that I would have to deal with regarding this mod is that it would most likely find all the weak links in the power chain which would require that I'd have to also consider a beefier clutch and the Gerag 6 speed tranny at the same time...and unfortunately the 6 speed tranny would require new drive shafts as well...the old snowball theory!
Maybe I'll just can the whole major mods idea and substitute the checkerboard inside rearview mirror cover

Freddy I am in if the breakfast and "Horse Country" drive are still planned. What's the address of the diner? I've never been in that area before.

Yes, This is the place we will be having breakfast. I will be there at 8:00.
If you are coming off Exit 7 you will need to go north on US 206. If you are coming south on US 206 or US130 then you will have to make a "U" Turn at Crosswicks Rd/St.

See you there
