Another Bay Area Mini Owner

Hello Everyone,

I am thrilled to be a new Mini owner. After 20 years of Bimmer ownership and 10 years of Porsches, I wanted something a little more carefree and fun to commute in... and my '06 MCS delivers it in spades!

She's Pepper White, and is outfitted from the factory with the JCW. Previous owner was a fanatic and added a bunch of M7 suspension parts. The car handles phenomenally well and I've booked a HPDE at Laguna Seca on Feb. 28.

I hope to see some of you on track with me!

John

Glad to see you know what the car is for!

I'm sure we'll see each other around. I"m in Woodside and my licence is my handle. I do some track days as well.

Thanks for the greetings!

J_D, the one I'm enrolled in is set up by trackmasters-racing.com. There is a master list somewhere on the Internet that unites available track dates for numerous clubs - I'll post when I find it again.

Another date I'm planning to enroll in is with hookedondriving.com. They have a Tax Day at L.S. ... nice way to blow off some steam if you have to write a check to the IRS.
