Newbie from Puerto Rico

Hello People!!
Just got my Pepper MCS a week ago.I always thought it was a cool car but I had no idea how "much more" this car really is,it's appearance is unique and performance wise, simply amazing, it's a "premium" car that's made driving "fun" all over again.
Looking foward with sharing with you guys the valuable info, news,etc,that you have here.

Steve Biello

Welcome to the MINIverse, can't wait to see pics of your sweet ride.

A guy I knew once mentioned a steep hill with twisting road in Puerto Rico that was very hard on a car's brakes, and I think its nickname was "brake killer" in Spanish, but I'm not sure, this goes back 30 years. Have you heard of such a road?

Thank's for the warm welcome!

Hi!
I'll try to post a picture soon. Regarding "Red Dragon's" question, there are a "couple"of roads here that can have such an effect on your brakes but in general we have some really cool country roads with beautiful views perfect for our Mini's.

Puerto Rico / Roads

Hello! Gemgirlpa, that road is great, the name of the forest is "El Yunque" and the one that goes to Ponce basically runs down the middle of the island. Glad you like this Paradise in the Caribbean!
Thank's to everyone else for their welcome.........Steve!

what area do you live? my cousin married into PR family, so we get to visit as often as we can. She grew up in Punta Santagio. One block from the beach. As a matter of fact her mother is very well known for her wedding cakes.

Cayey, P.R.

I live in a small town called Cayey,on your way to Ponce you pass right by it some 45 minutes south of San Juan.
