Howdy all,
Traded my beloved 05 Saabaru for a 07 R52 Cabrio S in Orange. It is a 6 speed and I have been bombing about rural WV with the top down for several days. I am now combing the websites for brake upgrade info (the saabaru had drilled and slotted rotors plus greenstuff pads added) and I feel I will need to individualize mine a bit more. Will lurk here a bit for info. Looking forward to learning much!
Dr.Phil

Your wish is my command...
I plan to get chrome intakes and either chrome or otherwise change the grill. A few black stripes might help it pop too.

Wish I had seen this thread earlier. Our group, Hampton Roads club MINI (www.hrmini.com) just had our 7th annual Fall Colors Run and we ran right through Elkins. Actually had a lunch stop at CJ Maggies in Elkins. In fact we have a few runs through WV coming up in 2011 including the 8th annual Fall Colors Run. Y'all are sure lucky having those roads right at your door steps, well, maybe not in winter months. But all those other times.....!
