Great looking MINI. Love the checkered roof. Especially with the red.

Looks like you are in a perfect area for a MINI with winding back roads and not too much traffic. Enjoy it.

The 5th gear refers to the level in the forum. Apparently I post a lot!

If you are referring to the tail of the dragon in North Carolina, there are a bunch of forum members that drive it as a group. It is a little far for me from PA but I consider it each year.

1st of welcome to the family. There are 2 different roads that you guys are talking about. The back of the dragon is located in VA and the tail of the dragon located in TN/NC. There is a Mini event happening Oct 9-11 on the Tail of the Dragon in TN/NC, and this guy will be one of them there.
