The Line-up in the Parking Lot.

Here is a line-up shot of all the cars who showed for our lunch meeting. There were a few more later after this picture was taken. I really like the new wheels on the grey MINI right behind Mark in this shot. You know whose those are....nice wheels man.

As for this week...MINIs on the Dragon 2007!! More to come on that one. Standby.

Stripes!!

Founder of the Tar Heel MINI club http://www.tarheelminis.org/ , Mark Vogler, applies some stripes to a chili red MINI in a parking lot in Greensboro last Saturday. We had a gathering to "pass the torch" for the new officers in the club. There was a nice crowd and we had great fun as always eating and talking all things MINI.

First Tire Rotation!

Here is a shot of my first MINI tire rotation. You can see the 17mm socket for the lugs and various breaker bars and ratchets. The torque wrench is there and my MINI manual says 88.5 foot pounds is the correct torque settting for these wheels.
Note my old Craftsman floor jack which dates back to my MG Midget days. Soon I will share some pictures of that adventure! Long story...
Note...the Red Bull in the picture is not a requirement for MINI tire rotations unless you are my age in which case it is a good idea to have an energy drink around to perform any manual labor....
