How do I go about finding a mini club in my area? I live in the Hampton roads area of
Virginia. Just north of North Carolina. Portsmouth Virginia Beach Norfolk area to be exact. Would also like to find a reputable shop that could assist in some of the bigger after market mods I would like to do that I just don't have the time to do on my own

 

Try Atlantic Autowerks in Virginia Beach. We have a list of shops on our website: http://new.minimania.com/article/319...ners_and_Shops

As for clubs, we have a list here: http://new.minimania.com/article/1637/MINI_CAR_CLUBS

Hope this helps!

Drive Hard. Drive Safe. Keep Grinning.

 

Thanks 👍🏼 Great info

 

IT seems like all the Canadian clubs have melted away. I've attempted to make contact with them but all I get back is static. I hope you find a funky group of enthusiasts in your area!

 

like many other clubs

Hampton Roads Club MINI has stopped using their web page. What activity there is has moved to Facebook where their group name is the same.

I lived in the area back in 2002 - 2007 and I used two places for 'early' MINI work:

http://sportsandimports.net/ ... this guy was THE local BMW guy, he raced 'em. He quickly adapted to MINI ... this was where I got my control arm bushing replaced. He was the first guy I saw do it without dropping the subframe; he had built his own tool for BMW work.

also VERY good http://www.abacusracing.com/ ... I took my classic here. This shop has a STRONG reputation ..... they hosted the area's first "pulley party" and dyno day

 

That's awesome that's the exact info I was looking for. Thank you very much 👍🏼
