Hello & Thank you

I wanted to thank you all for such a wonderful resource of collective sharing on this forum. I've learned much by obsessively perusing through all these posts and appreciate the spirit of helpfulness you exhibit towards one another.

I'm having an absolute blast with my Mini and haven't grinned this wide since I got my Honda S2000. I have also owned a BMW Z3 but it was too tame for me.

Regards,
T.

Hi and Welcome! Looks like we've come from the same similar tastes in former cars - I also owned a Z3 and 2 Honda S2000's - all a blast to drive...

So give us some details on your MINI? Congrats!!!

Thanks All!

Donna I've got a Pepper White Mini. Just installed K&N Typhoon, Megan Racing Exhaust & Hotchkis Comp Rear Sway Bars.

You did the wise thing getting out of VA. The fines are ridiculous for spirited driving.

Best wishes & stay safe!

The fines here in CA aren't very cheap either - LOL! I don't know first hand (knock on wood) but I know several people that have gotten popped and wowza - lots of $$$..
Pepper White is an awesome color...

wow but DUI in cali is more severe. first offense is a night in jail AKA <detox tank> 30 day car impound with daily charges for storage. $2000 fine with community service. also a suspended license.. this is what my friend got when he got caught.. also Speeding in cali anything in the 80+ is considered a felony driving which can lead to jail and a court date..(just a note if anyone is in the CALI Bay Area caught under a dui pray you dont get the LYNCH as a judge he will give you the max sentence which is 6months in prison or county whichever he choses)...
