Yes, flat (or satin) black is always cool.

Just an update regarding that meet in Connecticut - I am having help putting it together, but won't have a status until after New Year's Day. Thanks to Hovik that reached out to help!

You in?

We'll probably be meeting around 9pm.

Was this estimate at MOM? What other body shops are you familiar with in the area? I want to bring my car somewhere to realign my lower front bumper trim without buying new parts even though some tabs are broken. There are otherwise no dents or scratches.

Otherwise, I'll just have to figure out how to disassemble and glue things myself. Maybe it's time for an aftermarket body kit?

THIS WEEKEND!!!

This weekend (Saturday night) is the New Years Eve Eve run! It ill go in and around the city and should be tons of fun. There will also be a stop for food. If people don't have plans I expect to see you out there! There was a link posted a few posts ago where all of the details can be found

There are a couple things that I know for sure of.
1. The Pz and brew party in CT
2. The very end (note sure of a specific date yet, but sometime during the last week of Jan) there i going to be a VERY important sit down meeting @ MINI of Manhattan. Details to follow.

What about the other run that you were working on? Have you done the test ride yet? I remember hearing that it may eat up my tires... Let me know.

The first post of the NEMINI thread for the New Years Eve Eve Eve run (http://nemini.org/index.php?topic=9183.0) has been updated with meeting time and information. If you are coming, please let me know, as I need to make a reservation at the restaurant.
Thanks and hope to see some of you there.

The run in NYC is normally on NYE Eve. However, this year that is a sunday and a lot of people have to work on the 31st so we moved it to the 29th.
I don't think you'd want to be anywhere near NYC in a car on the 31st. At least not near time square.

After speaking with TurboMini yesterday, we decided that the meet to kick off the year in true MINI fashion with some food and some MINI friends would be the afternoon of 20-January...

The list is growing, so SIGN UP! You can either sign up here or on Motoring|Underground, the forum that beats all other forums! You have no idea how good a forum can be until you've joined Motoring|Underground...

...but anyway, you should join this meet... it will probably start in NYC and head over to Stamford and then up to Fairfield area..

Also, this Spring I'm thinking that we should have a retro-meet... at S&S Dugout in Fairfield.... but first thing's first...

SIGN UP
