Cool, thanks for the heads up! I'll be there for sure, Asheville is only 15 min from where my daughter lives so I'll make plans for an extended stay to see my kids, grands, and greats!

I'm registered!

I have a lot to do to get ready for this event.....I need to get the hot rod finished enough to be on it's wheels so I can roll it off the rack and put the green car on. I have to pull the motor on the green Mini and fix the oil leaks and try to find where it's been losing water (another head gasket?) then get it cleaned up so I can paint it again as the last engine paint job came out terrible. While I'm in there I think I'll replace the front cones as they're 10 years old and I'll bet they're fairly collapsed. Oh and some new factory original motor mounts as these MiniSpares versions feel like rocks - so much vibration comes thru them! And maybe fix a few more rattles?

Then I need to wire the Audi for trailer lights, and I should be good to go. I probably need some new tars on the Mini as they also are 10 years old, but they have plenty of tread and no weather cracks so I may let that go.

Tail of the Dragon here we come!!!!
