Just discovered this site from NAM so thought I'd drop in, register, and give a Mighty MINI "hello" to everyone! Look forward to chatting with you all!:smilewinkgrin:
Hey there Gary Cooper, welcome to M/A. Tell us a bit about yourself and your MINI. Inquiring minds want to know.
Well, hello there, Johnna....lemme see.. I live in the DC Metro area and work in the District. I'm an active member of several local(ish) clubs - Tar Heel MINI Motoring Club, Hampton Road Club MINI, M3C. I have been on some fantastic and epic motoring trips with the clubs (who I discovered completely by accident) including The Dragon a few times (so far). Cary (not Gary, but he was the inspiration) joined the family in 2009. He's a dashingly handsome Mellow Yellow hardtop with rally striping - can see a picture of him as my avatar. He's not too heavily modified - only where it counts you might say; H-Sport RSB, Koni FSDs, NM Engineering poly engine mount bushings, Powerflex lower control arm and FSB poly bushings, DDM Works CAI, and most importantly, hula girl bobble. New wheels come next.
Go to the bar at the top of the page & click garage. It will let you set up a page about your MINI that you can add pictures to.
OK - Cary's in my garage. first three were made on The Dragon by (I believe - if not I apologize, it's the other) those Extreme Sports photography guys during Tar Heel MINI Motoring Club's annual fall (epic ) "MINIs Slay The Sleeping Dragon" during the start of the ALL DAY "Blimy's Tiny Tour of Terror" run
