Got pulley? Its the cheapest performance mod you can do, and the most bang for your buck.

Yea , I was looking in to it but that will put me in a different class for auto cross I thought. So I was thinking maybe ill try it with the stock pulley first since I have never auto crossed before.

Well, I guess you will enjoy NC, it is one of my go to states, not only because of the Dragon.

Welcome as a new member, sorry we keep missing each other on the drives, perhaps next years MOTD in 2014.

OK, we are working the details on the Wyoming Wander. It will be a nice overnight (14-15 Sep) trip through the twisty roads of northern Colorado up to Wyoming. We will probably roam up H287 into Laramie,then over to Cheyenne. We will make alunch stop along the way. We are workingdetails to get on to historic F.E. Warren AFB. It was an old Calvary base and has 200+historic buildings. We might be able toline up along the parade field and get some pictures. We will need some personal informationprior. More to come on that.

We are looking at a few hotels in Cheyenne to see what they can do for ourvisit. We are also planning adinner. Come Sunday morning we will wanderdown the east side of I25 through Greeley. We will be joining up with our friend of MINI COW, the new MINI club in Wyoming.

I will get some more details out as I get them. I think it will be a good time. Sign up on the calendar if you are interested so we can get some tentative numbers.

Is MINI5280 open to Countryman owners too? I've heard some purists despise the R60... I originally had an 09 MCS Hatch, but then after my divorce I had my first midlife crisis and bought a BMW Z4 Coupe 3.0SI. After fighting the Colorado Winters in that car for 3 years, I finally settled on the Countryman so I could have the AWD and go snowboarding again.

You better believe it. In fact, like a game of Risk, us R60 owners are piling up in Kamchakta, ready to start rolling sixes. Come on in, the 5280's fine!

Wyoming Wander Hotel Plan: I was able to secure a special rate at the Historic Plains Hotel. The rate is $77 (plus 10%tax) for a classicsingle (king or Queen) or a Double Queen room. You can call the Plains direct at 1 866 275-2467 or (307) 638-3311 and mention the group code "MINI5280. You can also reserve on line at theplainshotel.com. again use the MINI5280 code. The hotel offers free WiFi and free parking(2 blks) and free valet service. The hotel as a coffee shop and full service restaurant.

If you choose not to use the Plains Hotel there are a numberof other hotels in the area.
