Hi everybody,

My husband and I have a 2005 MINI S and we love it! Looking forward to hooking up with some fellow addicts and learning some maintenance tips - dealer prices are painful! We love taking Wander, our solid blue sunfoofed beauty, to the mountains - we discovered the Tail of the Dragon a couple of years ago and we want to run it with sometime with a bunch of fellow MINI lovers.

We're looking at replacing the brakes real soon, and hopng my husband can do the job. I suppose we should start by doing a topic search?

Cheers

Welcome to NAM, you live in a great part of the country for MINI driving.

From what I have seen on NAM and at MITM 2 this past summer, you have a lot of folks who love to work and drive MINIs in your area.

You just missed a great run on the Dragon by a lot of folks in your area. Lots of great pictures posted.

Enjoy and drive safe.

Hi guys this is John, husband of Sheena, and the lesser half of Wander's parents. Here's a pic - forgive the dessecration on the back windows, realtors will do anything to advertise. No modifications done yet, we like the way she runs just the way she is!

Thanks 99, I found that one last night - a first class job of posting by OctaneGuy, fer sher. Wander needs the entire brake job done, rotars and all, so I'm hoping to find help on that too.
