    It's ZERO degrees Fahrenheit as we write our initial post on motoringalliance.com. We arrive here with a '13 MINI Cooper hardtop with some mods and a totally stock '14 MINI Cooper S Countryman ALL4. Both purchased new from MINI of Bedford, NH. MINI also serves as a Toad behind a Safari Trek 28RB2 motor-home. Big MINI is not assigned Toad duties. We hope to be able to learn and contribute to this forum.

    Welcome Frank, Mary and Winston. Vermont is my favorite state. We have been vacationing there since 1980 and have good friends that live just south of St. Johnsbury. They are going to warm up to the single digits today.

    Thank you all for the warm welcome. I have to say, anything warm is nice today. Looks like we might get a chance to put the ALL4 through his paces tomorrow morning.

    Welcome to M/A, how do you like towing the MINI, flat tow on a bar?

    Enjoy the fun on M/A, post pictures. Pretty country you live in up North.

    Hi Don, we flat tow with a Blue Ox. We let our '05 wait for two years before taking him but the '13 got to tag along right away. We were lucky and got a free Blue Ox for her because she was the first 2013 R56 Justa and they needed to know if anything changed from the previous model year. Frank

    Added. . . we really love towing MINI and she seems to love tagging along.

    That's better than doing a little killing in skiing-ton.

    Welcome! I still have Vermont blood in me from a brief time of living there in the '80s (Mad River Valley)
    I used to love driving to Burlington, the nearest metropolis after the tiny villages and ski towns near me. I even took a class or two at UVM

    But all of this before MINIS, and I started my Jeep CJ-7 attachment there though

    pac:wink:
