    Welcome to M/A...

    This will be your first time on the Dragon.... A place just perfect for bringing out the MINI's handling prowess...

    There is this thing about the Dragon.... Not everyone drives it as they should.... Some overdrive it....

    The single best advice I can give you is to have fun and stay on your side of the yellow line....

    You may meet some driving towards you that like your side of the yellow line better....

    Not the best was to meet someone in that neck of the woods...

    Welcome to M/A!:Thumbsup:

    Nice car...just make sure you stay inside the yellow lines at ALL times. it's soooo easy to stray and that's when the bigtime problems occur. Be sure to watch out for the crotch rockets, as they stick to the center line.

    Have fun and BE SAFE!

    Thanks for the tips. I'm going with my 12 yr old daughter and don't plan to drive it like it's a race track. We're also going to do the Cherohala Skyway, hoping for some good colors, and if the conditions are right we'll see a moonbow at Cumberland Falls. I didn't know it ahead of time but there is a mini run there this weekend, Mini's Slay the Sleeping Dragon. What I have planned doesn't line up with their schedule but I'm hoping to see them in passing.
