I just wanted to let everyone know I'm back, and I can't wait to get to some MINI meets. It has been way to long.

 

Hi there! Back from where? Hope to meet you soon on a run.

 

You're back from MINIsota!

 

welcome back, looking forward to seeing you.

 

I'm a little bit late to this party, but welcome back!

 

Anything getting planned?

 

Hopefully after the snow season (not Feb or March) as I'm not going to anything with snow, ice, and salt on the road. :/

 

I try to keep the Mini in the garage for the winter, I do take it out once in a while when the weather is clear and the roads are clean. I have only used the Mini 3 times since November. I miss driving it, but it is my toy car that I play with, and want it to last for a number of years. Now that Princeton has fixed the top and the wearing issues I should be able to keep the car with the 3rd top for a long time with no more issues. Thank you Princeton Mini.

 

I find my Cooper S pretty good in the snow. Probably one of the best cars I've driven in the snow. Good tires makes a difference, and DSC comes in handy as it prevents you from spinning your wheels. The salt is kind of nasty, but that's what soap and water is for.
