Tail Light BLACK OUT!!!!!
HUGE Thank you to Chad from Detroit Tuned for doing this incredible work. The worst piece of chrome left on the outside was the rings on the taillights. NO MORE! BAM! BOOM! I frakking love the way the boot looks now. This is way better than the rear BKK that we did. (tho thats pimp too, pics to come)
Sorry for the photo quality, my first gen iPhone is about done.

Towing with the MINI
Half of the towing kit has arrived. MiniFini is, as usual fast and friendly!
Just waiting on the actual attachment for the motorcycle and we’ll find out what the towing capabilities of the Mini are. I’m assuming with my almost 200 ft lbs of torque I’ll be able to pull a motorcycle.Appointment next week to finally get the blacked out tail lights going. Ill post before and after pics.

“Your car is awesome man”
Just got stopped in a parking lot by a young guy. “Dude, your car is awesome man”
Thanks guy, that just made my day. BS’d with him for a few seconds about MINIs then we went on our ways. -
I hate math.
Numbers and i, when trying to get along are bad.
I’m sorry, i was off.
6×5 is 30. Not 35.
I had the best roommate possible at the dragon this year. Sorry man. -
MINIs on the Dragon – Recap
As you can see, daily posts went the way of the Dodo at the end. Just too much fun to sit around and post stuff. I’ve got a ton of photos and videos I’ll put up later today.
Overall, MINIs on the Dragon 8 – 2010 kicked major ass. I met some new and totally awesome people, had some incredible times with people I already knew and drove the hell out of that road. Cabin is already reserved for next year. See you guys then!The Good:
Great weather wed-sat. Less traffic on the road due to the rock slide. Fire Pit. Lots of good times.
Quiet and understanding roommate.The Bad:
Speeding ticket on my very first run.
Forgot peoples names already.Tried to take the same photo from 2 years ago. Ironically the tree I had to photoshop out of the original is gone, replaced with a deck and a boat launch.

Dragon – Day 4
Thursday, Day 4. I really miss my dog today. I would bring her, but she hates riding in the car. Another perfect day for weather, sunny, nice cool breeze. Made 3 different trips to the Dragon today, and 4 runs total (went twice on one) I’m trying to concentrate more on being smooth and safe vs fast. Shot lots of video, probably need to edit it down before posting much.
If you’re really bored, here’s a video of me driving the Dragon. I’ll post some forward views as well.

Dragon – Day 3
The rain has finally stopped and it’s a beautiful sunny day down here today. Made 2 runs on the Dragon. Last one was right before they closed it down for the night and we found out how they close it: A giant dump truck with a snowplow on the front.
Trying to keep the number of images I’m posting sparse.

Dragon – Day 2
Rain and HAIL. Haven’t made it out to the actual Dragon yet due to terrible weather. Considering calling it an early night so I can get up with the sun and make a few runs on the hopefully dry Dragon. Need to get some AA batteries for my radios tomorrow as well.

Dragon Day 1
Well we survived the drive down. Rained almost the entire way. The detour over the mountain had us literally driving in the clouds. Had a great time hanging out with everyone after we got settled in!
