Tonight at 9pm EST / 6pm PST, the first Motoring Fun MINI Club (MFMC) “Virtual” Meet will take place with special guest Peter Horvath from M7 Tuning. The meet will take place in the Motoring Fun chat room (in the room labeled “MFMC Meet”). There are a limited number of spaces available, so get there early!

The chat will be moderated to keep things from getting too chaotic . This basically means that at certain times, the room may be muted except for the person asking a question. If you have a question for Peter, please post it in the comments section of this post. Make sure you use the same username when posting the comment that you use in the chat room in order for us to grant you a “voice” while your question is being discussed in case you have a follow-up comment or question during the response. Be prepared to re-type your question when you are give a voice in the room. See you tonight!
