I'm new too. My previous was 2007 Hard Top (pepper white) completely stock (boring) I have had my new Mini for a year now, 2012 Cooper S in white silver, black star wheels, 6 sp. manual (first time clutch driver) fully loaded. I'm not sure how to start threads, so I'm just jumping on yours.

Anyone know if there is a group in Boston? I've often seen photos of groups in the north east driving to check out the foliage, and I want to jump in if possible this fall! -thanks

Hi King and J202H2N, welcome to NAM.

Congrats on your MINIs, though sorry for the rough start with the clutch going out. Please check our website for a list of car clubs in your area, as well as articles, videos and applications guides for service, maintenance and performance.

Hope you can make our Nevada City Adventure next year! Definitely some Northwesterners heading down next time, usually in May.

Congrats , you have the wheels that were launched on the Gen 2 R57 convertible. I like those.

Actually, I'm getting rid of those.. specifically, using them for winters... they dent really easily and I live in Boston, so theres no way I can make it through another winter with these. No seal, $100 each to straighten, and you just can't avoid every pot hole out there.
