Hi all,

Seems there is some feedback, posts, meets in SoCal but I don't see anything post October. I am located in SFV (San F Valley) and I'm also in a local club (WCTT) West Coast TT Club.

Yep I have a heavily modified Audi TT Roadster but I am putting plans down early for my "project MCS" I mean 200-250hp will be there pretty soon and prob even warranted also. Factor in the weight (1000lbs lighter than my Roadster) and half the cost and this is why I am going to sell my TT and get a MCS (sometime before summer I hope)

Just browsing for now and getting up to speed on ECUs, Exhausts, John Cooper Works, Dinan, wheels etc. If there are any MCSs in my area drop me a note as I'd love to meet up on one of our canyon (weekend) runs.

TTFN :smile:

Thanks LMini (nice pics!)

I have to admit I miss the "seasons" but coming from England there is nothing quite like SoCal (canyon roads are amazing!)

Hiya TTigg!

Welcome to MCO, international site for MINI Maniacs!! There is a meet this weekend in San Diego...jceviche is the planner of this event. It is the Dec. 7 San Diego Scenic Drive Run which will consist of motoring from the La Jolla coast to the ferry landing in Coronado. Look at the thread about it right here in the SoCal Regional forum.

Good Luck with the S Project...

I'm In SoCal, Valley Also... http://www.mightyminiz.com Plannign huge Las Vegas Race for Pre Spring!

Going in tommorow for measurements on Custom Fender Flares and More... KEVLAR KEVLAR KEVLAR

For More info on ANYTHING MINI, Drop me a line.... Dinan is not making much for Mini right now... JCW is on the way tho... BUT if you really want a 200-250+HP Mini with guts, you'll need to switch to rear wheel drive... It's been done... It's not cheap but it sure does FLY.

Doug

Welcome to MCO.
What part of England do you come from? I myself am a socal girl who has been adopted by a band of 'geordies'.

why aye pet!

I was born and bread in Oxford of all places and my school was about 6 blocks from the Cowley plant where the Mini's are made (small world). I've been here for about 2.5hrs and loving every min.

Looking forward to saying "hi" sometime soon :smile:
