Newbie from Colorado

I ordered my Chili/Blk MCSa in September and got her just after Thanksgiving. What a joy to drive! It handles so well in the snow using the paddles and engine compression vs. brakes -- it's great.

I went from a full size Buick to my MINI and have no regrets. I have also found this site very full of useful information and am contemplating several mods and the JCW Tune Kit. Awesome. Thanks.

What area are you in? Denver is full of MINIs theese days, and MINI5280 is always on the lookout for new members.

Congrats on the new car, wait until the mountains thaw out for the real fun.
