I spotted you all sitting at the light and I was wondering if it was you.

The scenery isn't that nice but there are some fun driving roads. Gotta love the curves. Watch out for Kensington PD they're tough.

Get your shovels ready. Hope we're about out of this mess for the year. I'm ready for summer tires.

Speaking of tires... Looking at Michelin Pilot Super Sports. Have a buddy with a Cobalt SS, and has the PSS. He loves them. Every review I've seen is great, and TireRack's numbers / reviews for them are great. Anyone here ever had them?

I was debating getting continental DWS's(def a good AS tire).... but from what I've experienced so far this winter I think a real snow tire would be more appropriate.

^ Agreed ^

For those of you not on FB, some MINI friends in Central Mass are putting together a Dyno Day at Enhanced Street Performance in Sterling, MA. Information can be found here.

Or copied from their FB page -

Ever wonder exactly how much Horse power your MINI really has? Have you made modifications to your MINI and want to know the real gains? Well, here’s your chance to find out. Please join us for the very first CMM Dyno day. The cost is just $60 per MINI (slightly more for MINI All4s) paid to ESP. This is a group discounted rate and is limited to 20 cars. We will have a waiting list in case there are a couple cars that do not show up. You will be assigned a number which will be your place in line for the Dyno.

Where is it:
Enhanced Street Performance (ESP)
12 Beverly Drive
Sterling, MA 01564

Here’s what you get:
• 3 consecutive pulls on the Dyno.
• BBQ lunch.
• A computer print-out showing horsepower and torque vs. engine RPM, including boost and air-fuel ratio.
• Not to mention fun just hanging out with fellow MINI owners.

Space is limited, so if you don't have FB, and you want to be a part of it, let me know, and I can help get you in touch with Wayne.

Not sure on that, to be honest. I'll ask what they'd like for anyone wanting to come spectate / eat lunch.
