Lol don't worry. My car is a mess too. Oh I'm going to be late because I have to fight 435 traffic to get down there

[LiLReD1]

Ya, I hope everyone sticks around who gets there at 6 cause of some in traffic.

Plus I'm bringing a guy who was stationed in Germany for 3 yrs, and bought his '10 MINI there, and had it shipped back to states. He wants to meet everyone. We're on our way!

[Minidave]

Thanks to everyone who came tonight, it was fun to meet some new folks and always great to meet up with "old" friends!

A couple of pics of MINIacs chowing down.....

[Minidave]

And a couple more.....

[Counterfit_Mini]

*UPDATE* Gonna Make it with my son!

Was it your Mini that made that sweet turbo noise when driving off??

[Minidave]

If it was, I never hear it from the inside!

I have noticed that with the windows down the exhaust sounds pretty good, but with them up, again I can't hear it - it's too quiet in there! I guess I need to drive around behind some buildings or something where I can hear the sounds reflect off the walls......

I remember seeing a cartoon many years ago in MAD magazine (yes, I did read it - when I was a kid! ) that showed an alley with mirrors down both sides and admission sign that said $5 "See How Great You Look in Your Car!" - people could drive their cars thru and see what they looked like in them. It was done as a joke, but I've always thought people would probably pay to do exactly that, especially in car crazy cities like LA. I think I would attach to a high end car wash or something.....
