What's up, and welcome to NAM.
I live in Warenton and work in Manassas, where are you located?

We're practically neighbors. I'm down towards Opal just S of Warrenton. Work mostly at Reagan National airport and sometimes Dulles.

This is my first MINI and I bought the pepper white HT that's been sitting on the Jim Harris lot for 16 months. Traded a Miata for it.

Thanks for the welcomes..
From what I've read here so far prob do the rear anti-swaybar and maybe a mild tune. The non-S is a little underpowered but I'm leery of making changes to the drivability. Plus, it's still under warranty for another year.

Those are some good bang for your buck mods so good choice. Do enjoy it and if you ever need anything please don't hesitate to ask.
