In Jan of 2015 I finally bought my dream car (yes Italian Job and Mr Bean made for a lot of that dream). I've have many other cars prior but I finally want to look into performance upgrades and once I understand more about my car I plan on jumping up to JCW but baby steps.

Either way I'm 27 from CA moved to Tampa and am participating in MTTS but I hope to have my car unique to me before that trip.

Mainly here to get advice on performance mods, minor things like lowering springs and upgrades. Also because I've been asked, the reason I bought the new Mini instead of the old r56 from early 2000's because the only thing I couldn't stand was the speedometer in the center, I know that's a staple to mini's but I was so happy they phased it out.

 

Nice Black on Black F56 , welcome.

MTTS great event , did all 5 years. Hope to do 2016.

 

Congrats, and welcome aboard from the west side of Tampa Bay (Largo)! If you're a Facebook user, you should check out the Tampa MINIs Motoring Club (TMMC) or Sunshine MINIs if not. There are active groups on both sides of the bay that meet for dinner & laughs each month, and there are other cool events too that happen on the reg. We're always happy to have new faces & cars join the fun.

Happy Motoring!

 

+1 Sunshine MINIs, great group , met some on MTTS in the past.

 

I just watched Mr. Bean's Holiday yesterday! I was just in Tampa recently. It was so hot over the holiday and got up to 90 degrees! Was crazy. Congratulations by the way and welcome to NAM. If you ever need anything be sure to let me know.
