Two More MINIs on the way

Hey everyone, my name is Mark and my family and I plan to be moving down from Virginia soon with our two MINIs, my dark silver/siver MCS and my wife Alicia's PW/B MCSA. We've lived in Charleston before and moved away, regretting it since. Looking to "make things right" again in the lowcountry. One son is a freshman in College of Charleston and the other is planning to attend CofC. Target date is sometime before 7/31 of this years, depending on the sale of the house. Sign went out front yesterday!

I also live in Columbia. I go to USC and they take most of my mod money.

Does anyone know of a good MINI mechanic or someone in the central SC area? I'm going to need a set of coilovers installed soon. Or should I take a trip up to Greenville? Or down to Charleston?

There is a guy in Lexington that does MINI work. Doc's Garage, never heard anything about him, but it'd be worth looking into. There is DDMworks in Greenville, they might do it, not sure, they are great thought.

Go Tigers

Thanks for the info, man. Somehow, I haven't heard of Doc's Garage, but I'll likely be giving him a call soon.

Yeah, that would be awesome. Right now, I'm living just outside of Lexington, but some friends and I are looking into getting an apartment in Columbia this summer.

My friends call me Jomo, but that name was taken by someone on here back in 03 when I joined, so I just used my name. I have been selling MINIs in Nashville since 03 also. I have owned three MINIs but some of you might recognize my 06 from MC2 or the Dragon. I love my car and even sold my Harley to finance my mod addiction. I play a little guitar and like to collect them and that's about it (besides that fact that I'm a dork). Here's my car

And here's my guitars

And here's me
