Hey, I'm new to the forum, and I'm fortunate enough to own 2 MINIs (at least for now). I currently live in Little Rock, but I'll be moving to Tucson in a few months. Our cars are:

Dean, R56 2009 Cooper S Hatch, Gray w/black wheels (owned for 3 years)
and
Watson, R60 2012 Countryman S ALL4, white w/black wheels (owned for 6 months)

I haven't done performance modding to them, but I'm interested in joining a club when I get to Tucson, and sharing tip/tricks/advice and going "motoring" (I've been in Europe for the last 3 years and have been lucky enough to motor all over western Europe).

 

Welcome and nice rides!

 

Welcome

 

Welcome to the forum. I live in North Carolina but went to the University of Arizona in Tucson. I hope you enjoy Tucson as there are many things to do there that you can't do anywhere else. I am on my second Mini, both were 2006 Cabrio's. The first was an S and the second is a JCW. I am having a blast with it and am starting to modify it. So far I have been mostly bringing all the major systems up to date, new brakes, new brake fluid, new transmission fluid, new coolant, intercooler flush etc... Also new Koni FSD'S shocks. Now I am moving towards some additional HP and torque.

Have fun in Tucson!

 

Thanks for the warm welcome! Looking forward to attending some events/drives now that I'm stateside. SwimBaxter, I made sure to get the good tint for AZ, I've never been there but I hear Tucson is a great city. Looks like you're putting in some work on the JCW, nice.

 

Welcome to NAM, lotsa good info here!

What top box did you pick for your CM? I'm shopping...thanks!

 

I got the Rhino Rack Z65

It may be a bit long for the cooper HB at 75.5" but it fits perfect on my CM.

This one might be perfect for you:
