Actually there are three standards for HP. DIN (German), SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers - US), and JIT (Japan something or another).

I don't know whether that has any relevance on Gregs car being beaten by a guy on a push bike...

Mine is my DD so I will do most of the cleaning on the weekend. It got a clean this past saturday, but just to see me through. Here is my list of things to do.

Friday arvo/night:
Vacuum insides, windex all interior glass, clean leather, wipe off all interior panels etc, add air freshner , clean dash and pedals

Saturday:
Wash car, wax it twice, detail spray to get anything i miss, remove wheels, clean inside of arches + springs, clean and polish wheels, armor all on he black trim, polish all exterior chrome, jack car up and clean exhaust pipe (scrape the burnt plastic off it), windex on exterior windows. Watch tv.

Yes I have no life

What time should we get to the wharf to get in position? And how meticulous are these judges going to be?

PM Sent!

It's still not too late for anyone to enter the Show & Shine!!!!!

If any one else is interested in joining us please PM me and I will send you the details. As I just said to Nix in my PM, it doesn't matter if you don't have the time to polish your MINI within an inch of its life (like Ben is planning). The main thing is that we get as many MINIs onto the wharf as possible.

What's the most MINIs you have seen in one spot at one time? I promise you we will blow that out of the water on Sunday. We all know that there aren't that many MINIs on the road, so trying to get 50 MINIs to a show & shine is no easy feat. Please PM me if you are a possibility for Sunday as we are determined to set the record this year and it is promissing to be a great morning

Show is at Portside Wharf, Hamilton and starts at 9am but entrants need to be there from 8am to give us time to setup.

I can't wait...
Even if I will be half sleeping from working til 4am on the Sunday morning.... I'll come home have 2hrs sleep if I'm lucky and be on my way...

I should start up a car detailing business Lots of business around this time of the year.

How many Minis have RSVPed for the day? We obtained that magical 50 yet? My parents are going to come along later in the day to check out the cars, brother wont come though haha.

[85NIXMIN]

Grrr those registration forms that were sent to me didn't come up properly on my computer.. so hopefully they will work on my other computer...

Got my ClubMINI membership card in the mail today... Woo! Free hat!

I also put in an order for a shirt (one for Abs too) will they be there to pick up on Sunday?

[Quickbrick]

Yet another reason to come to the ClubMINI Show & Shine - We will be launching the 2008 clubMINI apparel range

Yes that's right, the full range of ClubMINI gear will be available for sale. Including Caps; Guys & Girls shirts and jackets.

And like Sambo pointed out, if you join clubMINI in 2008 (or renew your membership) you get a free clubMINI cap, redeemable when you come along to a club run or activity Just come to the clubMINI tent on Sunday.

I did set you up for that shameless plug (all good though - I did put my name down for a shirt )

[85NIXMIN]

Well it doesn't look like we will quite make 50 cars, but it should be 35+ which is pretty good. RSVPs still rolling in so we will keep our fingers crossed that we at least brake our record from last year.

Shirts are about $35 and Jackets about $50 (don't quote me on that as I don't have the prices in front of me). Not the cheapest, but they are really good quality, and a hell of a lot cheaper than any of the gear they sell in the MINI Garages. Wait until you see the jackets, they are super-cool!

[85NIXMIN]

Ohhh I like the sound of the jackets...
