Hello! Then first you put the top down, and pick a twisty road and enjoy the MINI. Then post pics of your car

Enjoy the ride and have fun -- Wave to other minis -- Meet some great people and have more fun.

NAM is a great place to read/search/and ask questions about the Mini experience.

Welcome - to post pictures click the link to the upper left that says "My Gallery" You can upload them from there.

If you want to add a signature to your posts click on "Sig-a-Matic and you can add a description, pic, etc - whatever you want.

Ok, you missed my subtle suggestion to edit out the speed in your post. Talk of excessive speeding is against the rules, and grounds to have your thread locked.

Thanks for looking out for me, however all high speed driving is not illegal. Here is the link to our local track. http://www.barbermotorsports.com/track-rental-info.php
Some of the Mini's hang with the Vette's, they catch up on the straights, can't hang on the curves. I would never support speeding in any illegal fashion.

In the future I will be more specific.

Ok, in the future just be sure to mention that the speeds were achieved at a track.

Maybe, but well worth it. And when you get there, you can have a great lunch at La Super Rica.
