I'm new to Motor Alliance, Mini Cooper ownership and also to blogging. I live in Northern Indiana and have a 2006 S Convertible. So far, love my Mini and can't wait to put my touches on it.
Bah humbug, R52's...Now, automatic R52's, we won't even get started there...:biggrin5: I was just in Northwestern Indiana, Muenster, when I was in Chicago last weekend--a friend forced me to go there to visit Three Floyd's pub/brewery. And it was well worth the trip, great place!
Welcome to Mini Alliance! You're already a step ahead of me (I don't own a Mini yet. I just go steal Dave.0's and Blimey's cars Ferris Bueller style when they're not looking), but I will tell you that of all the forums I have ever belonged to (I think there's been more, I just don't remember what they were because they weren't worth the memory), this is by far the best run forum and has the best, most knowledgeable, and most diversely fun group of members you'll find.
