JP – The Clubman – gets some updates
Lately I've been a horrible blogger, not just here but on all my sites. A few month ago our LostCoffee project went live and it's been balls to the walls since then. I wanted to take a quick moment and post up about a few updates I did to the car. Since I've posted last I've add the R113 JCW 18" rims only with some NittoNeoGen rubber. The most dramatic move was moving my back C Pillar to Black. At AMVIV Todd from ToddsModds added some carbon fiber vinyl to the front headlight rings. Also at the event I added a ...

The Linear Edge – your race track love as art
Do have track love? Do you wear t-shirts with track layouts on them? If so this site is way cool. They turn your favorite race track outline into wall out. Plus if you catch the box at the door, and the track is not too obvious your, spouse may actually think it's just art. :) The linear edge is the result of an enthusiast of motorsports with a background in design. What better way to show your love of racing than with a piece of art depicting your favorite track?
The V8 Hotel – I could live there

2010 Bug-In at Bandimere Speedway
I was successful in talking the wife and kids into heading up to Bandimere Speedway this morning for the 2010 Bug-In. My boys had never been to the speedway so it was a treat. We spent about 45 minutes watching the track, everything we saw was double digits but was still impressed with quite a few of the times. The swap meet was cool. The wife summed that up perfect, "Nothing we can't live without". Now it was off to the car show portion. We tripped over bugs and busses, but had to hunt down the Ghias. We saw 5-6, and only ...
Gotthard Pass, Switzerland – a very nice Mini road
When do we leave? I gotta bring my car though. Gotthard Pass, Switzerland Traveling north from Italy into Switzerland, you’ll come to Gotthard Pass, which you can cross on either the new, straightforward road, or the old roller coaster above. My money’s on the latter. via [MatadorTrips]

M7 Tuning…another update
About 1:oopm today I received a refund for my M7 Tuning Catch Can. They refunded me $126.65 of the $142.59 I paid them. As with most business done over the internet shipping is not refundable. In this case I think it was kind of a crappy move though. Read the whole story starting here. I also received a phone call today around 5:00pm from M7 Tuning. I was driving back from camp with my son and was out of cell range so a voice mail message was left. It was from one of the owners. She wanted to personally apologize for ...

M7 Tuning: MOTHER F&%KING A$$ MUN@HING…total failure
[Read Part 1] Part 2 Today just confirmed my decision yesterday to never, ever, ever send money to M7 Tuning. In fact it will be mission too not only not send money to them, but never ever buy anything they make from anyone. I arrived home after a few errands to see my replacement catch can waiting for me on the porch. A signature was required and since no one was going to be home I left my nice Fed-Ex guy a note. Telling him I was driving a girly ass convertible around and the part to fix my sweet car was in ...
