    Hello everyone! I am based out of Colorado springs, Co. I have a 2005 R53, it was imported from Italy. I am doing a complete tasteful build of it in my shop. Not very many shops in Colorado springs that work on Minis. We have been working on them for the last couple of years and are looking to be the place in Colorado springs to bring your mini!

    Feel free to contact me if you are needing service or upgrades! We will be expanding our services once we have all the appropriate tooling and software.

    Dyno to come Summer 2015!


    Cheers!
    Joseph

    Welcome to M/A Joseph!

    I'm up in Thornton, but sometimes go down to the springs to see some of my old Army buddies. There are quite a few MINI5280 members in that area too, that commute to the Denver area for service, repairs, and modifications, so having a good Co Springs shop will be nice.

    Any thoughts on doing MITM this year in Snowmass? I could get you in touch with the right people to be a vendor at the event... :)

    I want to go! Hopefully have my mini done!

    I plan on getting "cars and coffee" set up this summer in the parking lot of our shop. I have only been in Colorado for 3 years, just starting to meet fellow mini members around town!

    Thank you for your service! Fellow Army veteran as well!

    Join the MINI5280.org FB page, and send a friend request to me while you're at it...

    The current Cars&Coffee is the first Saturday morning of each month (rain, snow, or shine) in Lafayette, maybe you could have the second Saturday! :)

    I will do that!

    I don't plan on having a Mini specific CC meet (I have too many car addictions) But I will try and coordinate it around other CC events in the area!

    Got it.

    Lafayette C&C is for everything... From Mazdas to Lambos, and there are always some of us MINI folks who like anything with wheels. :)

    I have to decide what I want to finish at this point. I have a 1972 Datsun 240z thats getting an rb26dett N1 swap going full JDM spec to look completely stock from the factory. That is until you start poking your head under the hood and fenders...

    We have our moments, if you find yourself on our bad side... But all in all even if we are putting the smack down its educational and with the best intentions.

    This is by far the best open MINI forum on the webs, full of great people who know their stuff and aren't afraid to call a spade a spade if it comes down to it, or pick you up if your having a bad day. Plus when we all get together at the Dragon, and the beer starts going down, thats when the real party starts! :)

    If you enjoy cigars and are thinking of attending MOTD this Spring, then, come to the Cigar Salon Wed. night after the Welcome Dinner, on the Porch, from 8 PM til whenever everyone leaves. We are a free event and I try to supply the cigars. :Thumbsup:

    Are you planning on being a new sponsor on this site? If so, you should PM Nathan and let him know.

    I will see if I get the car done in time and how busy I am in the shop! I would like to go! Don't worry I will bring a nice collection of my own to share and trade! All part of the fun!


    As soon as we get fully up and running with all the mini tools I plan on making a full announcement and sponsorship! I want all the kinks worked out before I get the shop blasted with work. Quality not quantity!:Thumbsup:
