Free Wash & Wax Service (because I don't think you will charge yourself)

YC, Jeff and Alan,

Main problem. Where to go? Saturday night or Sunday morning?

I guess it's Sunday morning. How can you see the result if we wax on Sat. night? My place can hold up to about 4 cars. Yet there is only shelter for one. So we can only wax one at a time?

The dealer has just sent me my car for my collection. Good service. The problem came from a damaged plastic mountings of hoses connecting the air induction housing so they put on the original manifold again. I can attend the sweating exercise this Sunday morning. Please prepare 100% pure cotton towels (exact wording from Zaino's instruction) for yourself and washing and waxing your babes.

One problem gone and another one bothers me now. My Mini staggers when it moves slowly and the A/C is on. I have go to Tokwawan tomorrow again. I am ****ed off. Maybe its tome for me to get a Toyota Echo instead.

Hope your car will get better Manho. Sometimes u just have to admire how Japanese build cars--faultless and reliable. They work like a simple machine, with less emotion and feeling though.

Just rained. Looks like we will still have showers for the weekend. Suggest we put it off until next weekend.

Guys, just wanted to share an interesting link (here<- Click) regarding car detailing from another forum I frequently visit. Certainly nice to see two exotic black cars shining like a mirror

Did my washing on Sunday and midway into it comes such a big pour! Well, at least I keep my Mini clean. A lot of detailing is not taken care of in the last 6 weeks because of weather and moving house.
Probably have to delay this waxing gathering until AR76 get back the little Chili!
Saw a lot of Mini around Saikung yesterday. Any of you around?

Cliff,
Yes, the rain did help me to wash the suds. And getting oneself almost 100% soaked in cleaning is not something you experience everyday!
Manho,
Yes, I was there the whole day yesterday. But just didn't expect to see you in a 318i! I saw 2 yellow ones, 1 IB, 1 blacks and 1 BRG within 2 days. So it's quite a lot on the street now.

YC,

Where I park my car for work there are 5 MC alone - almost one of every color.

And if you go down to Happy Valley - It's MINI Town - You'll see one every 5 min's.

I wonder how many will show up for the next meeting?

Yes, you are right. Happy valley is a MINI town. There are so many around ewhen I drove there. In particular, there was a black one that I met almost everytime I was there.

There's a eb/w one in happy valley with the greyish-silver strips.. I have to admit they look temping and actually a better color combo than white strips.
