A grand day out with OceanStateMINI

I headed down to Worcester today to Petes “office” meeting other MINI owners from OceanStateMINI, supposedly to check out window tinting from a local company – but more realistically to hang out together, drive, eat and just generally have a great time (which we did very successfully!)

I did check out Petes and Audras cars, both recently tinted by Ziebart; it looked good, though not quite as perfect as Jim Smiths car:

After checking out the tint and a Ford Fairlane, Pete led us out on a drive through some nice “MINI” roads (though rather ungrippy with all the rocksalt), to Ziebart:

(and I discovered I can’t use the new camera while driving!)

With Pete’s tinted MINI “surrounded” by my GPMINI and Brians Scrat, it’s interesting to note that the (legal) tint is subtle:

Inside Ziebart, we looked at the different tint options, discussed (and saw) the application technique, and checked out other offerings (Rhino liners!) … meanwhile Pat was mesmerised by an inflatable cactus!

 

Time for lunch at a nearby diner – actually overtime for lunch, it was almost 2pm by the time we got served (but it was worth the wait, and the wait was very entertaining!) …

 

Overall, a thoroughly entertaining day! I must get out and meet these OSMC folks more often 😀
