check out sunshineminis.org and you should be some groups in your area. The only club I do things with on the east coast is Minis of Miami but that's a little far for a evening cruise for you.

LOL I've had mine 135 before on I-95. I bought my mini from Braman as well but I took off any Braman badging before I left the dealership. I told them they would have to pay me to keep them on there I don't advertise for free.

I agree the 2014 Mini S! nice! I just saw a review on some car channel that was reviewing the Mini in Puerto Rico! The start is a toggle switch! On center console...
And the main huge speedo is now the Nav system etc,...Window buttons on the doors..so all in all looks good few subtle changes..not a big fan of the clubman they look to, well out of place...

Just got my car back from RENNtech after Braman installed new ECU software. Took it back to RENNtech the following week and had tune reinstalled with no questions asked.

I'm planning on driving down to Orlando from NYC for a few days in July, it would be nice to see more MINIs in the area. That's of course if my Mini is in good health! any clubs or gathering in Orlando or near by?

Hey there Minibx, that ought to be a great drive down the seaboard this time of year for sure.

Depending on when you are coming down, there is a local Orlando Mini group which meets on the second Weds of every month (so that would be 7/9). Everyone there is very friendly and of course love their Minis

Saw 6 minis on I75 yesterday going to/from Naples/Weston.

Last one I saw was a familiar Red R56 S with roof racks that goes to Nova.

Mine's a laser blue R56

Yea but let me say their customer service is top notch. If you send your ECU to a company you have to wait to get it back etc. With RENNtech being around the corner of me it's the best bang for your buck I've spent on my car. If Braman motorcars decides to flash my computer they retune it immediately no questions asked. Last time I was there they told me if they flash my computer again to bring it back again. How many companies will do that?
