Lunch at MINI Peabody
Today there were a number of MINIs at MINI Peabody; some in for service, some just visiting … Steve needed a wheel hub replacing after a bolt sheared in it at the end of his track day this week, Ivan had a strange noise from the front of the car (turned out to be loose suspension) and Jason had a Borla exhaust installed!
Lunch (pizza from Steve and cake from Dan) was served, while watching one of Hrach MINI videos, upstairs in the “staff canteen”:

(Jared, Susan, Dan, Ivan, Steve, Evan and Jason)
After lunch we checked out some of the 2005 MINIs:

We also checked out Jasons new exhaust - very impressed with the deep growling sound:

We also had lots of fun with Steves new puppy, “Pip”:


More pics here and also the first new style cupholder I have seen at MINI Peabody
Thanks to MINI Peabody for allowing us to hang out - more like visiting family than a car dealership!

Wen,
Not sure - I will ask Jason and report back. Meantime, here is his report of how great it is so far …

Wen,
An update from Jason - here is a link to the Borla exhaust on the MINI Peabody pages.
Also courtesy of Jason is this link to a NAM thread with audio clips of the different exhausts, including the Borla!
