Hello from HOT Arizona!

Hello everyone! We are new to NAM and recently became the proud owners of a 2007 MINI Cooper S. My husband wanted a motorcycle, and I wanted a BMW 335I, so we compromised and bought a MINI!!!

Our MINI is Laser blue with black top and stripes. It has the sport package and the Aero Kit and other fun features. Pictures attached (I hope).

We are having lots of fun driving it and are planning a road trip this September on the PCH.

Happy Motoring!

Greetings
The local Dynamic MiNi Collective http://www.dynamicminicollective.org/forum/ is planning a run up to Payson on Saturday. Why don't you join us, meet some great MINI folks and get out of the heat?.... (My external thermometer was showing 116 on the freeway this afternoon! )

Welcome, what a nice color with the Aero Kit, are you going to color match the wheel arches?

Thanks for the pictures, take more on your motoring trips. Looks like you might have one coming up on Saturday.

Welcome! Glad to see another R56 around. As a matter of fact that looks like my first R56 I ordered that came without the steering wheel controls, so I had to reorder another. The dealership put a aero kit on it and it looks great.
Does it look like this inside?

Welcome to NAM! I'm sure you won't regret the so-called compromise. Nice photos out in the desert.

Hi - so how Hot is it?

Why it's so hot, the other day I bought eggs at the store and by the time I got home, they were hard boiled...badumbump

Why it's so hot, I was talking to the devil the other day and even he was complaining about the heat...badumbump

Why it's so hot, I was driving home the other day and the wheels of my car melted...badumbup

Ok, I'll stop

Mini-hound,

Why it's so hot, we came down with the mini fever!
At least it's a dry heat.

I was born in your motoring paradise, and now I live in the valley of sun. AZ has a few good motoring routes left. Thanks for the welcome.

Good to see some AZ-centric activity. I just joined the ranks myself, a week ago (and needless to say, am having a blast).

Anyone know what some fun roads are around here? Never really considered the issue before (but before, I never looked forward to the act of driving!)

Have fun on the PCH. We just drove down a section of it from Carmel to Cambria this past Monday. Great weather, not too many motorhomes/touristas to go around. Just allow a little extra time to get to wherever it is you're planning on getting to. Lots of places to stop and see.
Fun stuff, wish I could drive the whole length of it this summer.
Oh well, work awaits.

Later
