I'm Melissa but my friends call me Mel. I'm a recently new owner of a gray '06 mini cooper s. Just recently painted the calipers yellow and plasti-dipped the chrome. My husband who owns a boosted '04 R32 has gotten me really into cars and im super stoked to get started on all the projects I have in mind!!

yes, but are you in one of these pockets in Florida where there are no Nam'ers like me.

i tried to talk to local mini owners and they are so clueless. like this one r53 owner swears" its a turbo cause i can hear it." , or , " yeah, im putting 3" dual exhaust undermine". Never any NAM'ers thou.

what county ya in?

I assume you are on the East Coast? There are quite a few folks over there, more than we have over here on the West coast.
