Soon to be

I pick mine up on Sunday!

I first drove a Mini last week. Two days later, I committed to buying a 2007 S hard top. Despite having driven and owned many vehicles, the Mini was among the most enjoyable.

I've been tracking and racing cars for over a decade so you can bet that I'll have the Mini out to the track on a regular basis. Part of that journey will no doubt include suspension and many sets of tires and brakes.

I look forward to getting to know everyone and I hope to be able to contribute meaningful discussion.

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your new Mini. It will be fun that's for sure. Is the car your daily driver or a weekend and track warrior?

Take care of your baby and your baby will take care of you!!

Again, Welcome!

Daily driver. 45 miles freeway, 2 miles city per day so I'm happy about the expected fuel economy as well.

Choose your mods carefully. You can lesson the ride quality and the fuel economy pretty quickly if your not careful. And don't forget tracking a car is real hard on it. If you don't have a backup car you could be taking a chance. Just food for thought is all.

Have fun and enjoy your car.
