Many MINI owners; they are the very model of the modern major modifiers, with apologies to Gilbert & Sullivan's modern Major General in Pirates of Penzance.

Can't wait to see the pix.
Happy motoring & moding.

Welcome to NAM!
Wow your wife's foot must be very heavy (No Offense) "3 Years!!!" That's like celibacy in college after the act. You must have been in pain!!
I commend you for waiting, but now let yourself flow.

i will tire to get pix up soon. yes 3 years is along time she just thought it was smarter to pay it off in stead of spending the cash on speed parts. and you all know the mini is fun the way it is, and now it will be more and more fun as she/me get down to the nitty-gritty. and when i want to go fast i drive my VW R32. it is fun but it does not corner like mini

Welcome to NAM. I'm down in Roseburg and belong to the Emerald club in Eugene and Umpqua Minis here. The Emerald club has a covered bridge tour scheduled for Saturday, June 21. You're welcome to come along, if you're available that day.

We're meeting at the Burger King at 58th and Main Street in Springfield at 9 a.m. and will end up in Veneta at around 2 p.m. for lunch. There's no club dues or entry fees. Just show up.

Hope to see you there.
