Welcome fellow AZ'n I'm nowhere near Tucson, but DMC (the website given above) holds a lot of meet and greets, and most are in Tucson. I don't know how often you might think about traveling to Phoenix for events up here, but my husband and I are attending the Chino Bandido meet on Aug 19th. Maybe we'll see you there?

Also, every third Saturday of the month, we meet at Pavillions in Scottsdale. Lots of people show up Welcome!

You have to pay :/ It only gives you access to post in the events section and be an official member on the Facebook page. Not worth it to me, in my opinion.

Forget that. Is there anything going on this weekend? Maybe we could all meet up and go for a Canyon Lake run?

lol I hear ya.

I don't think anything is going on. You'd have to check the forum. My husband and I will be out of town this weekend though.

I'm in Central Phoenix, and have been out with DMC a few times. They have a coffee/cars get together at MINI of Tempe on the first Sunday of the month (around 9:00 am), and usually go on a drive afterward. They also have other events - go to www.dynamicminicollective.org and view their calendar.

I'm out of warranty, and have been using Bavarian Motors Ltd on 16th Street for service (602-254-7380). Super nice, great rates, very honest, and have a great reputation. Babbitt Mini Werks in Tempe is another private shop, but they're a bit too far for me to drive to and I have no experience with them.

Enjoy! I've loved every minute in my 2007 Cooper S.

Welcome and congratulations! Nice low mileage Mini also. We live in north Scottsdale a few miles from the Pavilions. May see you there if we get done with motocross racing early enough. What color is your car?

Great looking MINI!! I am drooling thinking of all the mods you could put on! I can say that I wouldn't do much cosmetic wise. It looks awesome the way it is!! Again congrats!!
