His n Hers

Aloha,

My wife purchased her R60-S new in 2013 and it’s been a phenomenal car. So much so that when it came time for me to look into adding another car to the household, I looked to Mini.

I have now moved from my old 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee to a preowned ‘16 R60-S4.
Happy to be here with you all and after a recent move from HI to MA I know the All4 will come in handy in the winter.

Make it a great day!
Aloha

That’s funny you reference Maui. I lived up country for nearly a decade. There’s are some very fun stretches of road on that island and the Motoring, Exotic & Classic Car clubs have some really great people involved.

It's funny how often that happens. I have an F56 and my wife has an F60, while some close friends he has an R60 and she has an F56!

Welcome to the forum!

So I’ve taken a quick picture of the R60S All4 recently. And the picture of my wife’s R60S is a bit older... maybe the two of them will meet someday.
Thank you all for the greetings!
The wife’s R60S ‘Mona’
My R60S All4 ‘Monty’

Welcome! Another two MINI family here. I’ve owned a 2006 R53, a 2009 R55, and now a 2015 F56. My spouse drives a 2014 Countryman S. No ALL4, but with winter tires on it, it’s pretty near unstoppable in Massachusetts winters.

I strongly recommend getting winter tires. No need to buy the overpriced ones at the dealer; any winter tire will beat all season tires as temps go below freezing. But I have a soft spot for Bridgestone Blizzak LM series snow tires; they give up some snow grip in exchange for some seriously crazy cornering traction on pavement.

Anyway, welcome to Mass and to NAM!

Mahalo bratling!

I’ve always had a soft spot for the Blizzak tires. The haldex system in my father’s old Audi TT chewed them up fierce, but I ran them for a few winters on my ‘06 STi without any issues.

I hope the Mini AWD system plays nicely with Blizzaks. They are definitely on the docket for install this Nov/Dec.

Aloha from Plymouth MA
