Welcome to NAM and congratulations! That is quite the diverse bunch you've got there. Heard it's been pretty hot out your way lately! Has it hit 120 yet?

Beautiful R56. I love how it matches your Challenger.

Thanks everyone, I've only put about 80 miles on the Mini so far and haven't really had a chance to put it through it's paces yet, but I like what I've seen so far. I think it will be a keeper.

119 a few days ago. Does not help that it's our humid time of the year. That's why I'm going to garage the Jeep for about a month or so.

Ya, when I lived there I remember August was the worst month out of the year. Hang in there!

PhoenixR61, very nice looking car! If you want to hang out with other MINIs they show up at The Pavilions in Scottsdale at the McDonalds on a Saturday night each month, I forget which one
If and when you need work done on your MINI contact Jerry at EuroTechs in Tempe. He is very knowledgeable and reasonable. I now use him for all of my work. He also sets up the MINI Run up to Jerome in July.

Yup, I've been taking my cars and motorcycles down to the Pavs for almost 20 years now. I'll have to stop down with the Mini when I get a chance.

Thanks for the heads up on Jerry. I normally do most of my own upgrade / repair work, but I'm sure I'll have some questions on the Mini from time to time.
