Hey everyone, I'm new to the site, live in Anchorage, Ak, and I am joining to learn more about my car. I am on my second MINI, I currently have a 2008 dark grey Mini Cooper S, and I am in love with it. :cornut:
Welcome from the wimpy winter state of Georgia and the Georgia Mini Auto Club! You have found the friendliest darned MINI Site around!
I'm not entirely sure where in Washington the closest Mini Dealership is, but I always call Northwest MINI is tacoma when I'm having issues with anything. We have a BMW dealership here in Anchorage that services Carlton. They say that this time next year there will be a MINI dealership here!
Welcome aboard. I was so hoping you were going to say you were from Cordova Alaska and we could see a picture of a tiny MINI motoring around mountains of snow! BTW, there are 2 MINI dealerships in Vancouver BC. Personally I take my car to MINI Yaletown. We will be 2.5 hours closer than the nearest one in Seattle. Still a long way nevertheless. For parts DO NOT order from a Canadian stealership!
Haha no, but we still have record snowfall here this winter. Close to 9 feet on the ground. Poor carlton doesn't get very far without studded tires
Welcome! I was born and raised in Anchorage and love hearing about MINIs there. The fact that a dealership is opening is so huge to me. Makes me think that one day I might be able to move back! Be sure to check out the MINI Motoring Club of Alaska. They seem really active on Facebook and do a lot of great looking drives.
