Howdy from NOR*CAL

Hey folks, Just another new guy in your awesome little community you've got here. My name is Wally and I'm from Sacramento, CA.

I've been in California for about 7 years now and love it. I'm originally from Ohio. Born and raised... corn feed to!

I brew beer for a living and also home brew on the side. Now or days in large breweries computers brew the beer for you. Brewing at home keeps me up on my skill.

I just recently purchased my first Mini Cooper. It's a 2007 and Chili Red. The main reason for me getting it was that I commute 100 miles for work and at 40mpg Highway, this cute little car was hard to pass up. After driving it for a week or two I really started to enjoy my drive a lot more. The car is so pleasurable to drive and so much more. This coming from a guy that has been driving Subarus most his life. At this point I really wish I got an S or the JCW car. But... I did buy it for the MPG. So I'll just stick it out and enjoy what I have until I get another one.

Besides beer, I'm really big on amusement parks and roller coasters in general. I'm a total nerd when it comes to the subject. I actually flew to Japan last month just to ride some new coasters. Weird... huh? Don't even get me started on Disney.

Anyway, I look forward to learning a lot about Minis here and who knows, maybe a few friends along the way.

Japan and Disneyland... I'm in Heaven!!!
