Just bought a MINI in ATL

Greetings all! I've wanted a MINI since I test drove one about 8 years ago and I finally pulled the trigger yesterday and got myself an '04 Chili Red S. I've been a Mustang GT owner for many years so this front wheel drive blown 4 banger is really a trip for me and leaves me with a couple of questions...

First, there are many magazines available for a Mustang owner but I have yet to see any specific to MINIs. Do they exist?

Second, my car came with a 19% overdrive gear on the blower. Is there any downside to the extra pressure and would it be advisable to go back to stock on a daily driver with over 122,000 miles. Thanks in advance.

Dave in Atlanta

You don't need a magazine. You're in Atlanta! Call Way at Way Motor Works for an appointment. Then go see him.

Oh, and WELCOME!
