    took me a long time to get here - learned of MA at the WRR #400 party at Detroit Tuned last..year? holy schmoly i'm a procrastinator...

    anyhoo, my name is Mike but most people actually do call me Sobie..my story is pretty typical of most: Aug 2010 knew absolutely zero about MINIs other than they were cool as heck...test drove it, bought it, joined NAM, then the Michigan group and started going to their events and caught the disease in a big way....been working on my vision of taking a totally bone stock automatic non-S cooper off the lot and making it special...my version of special anyway...it's pretty easy (aaand dangerous) to do when you live about five miles from DT and those fine folks and just having more fun than a barrel of spazzed out chimps hanging out and going to events with the MI club.

    When I'm not daydreaming or nerding about online about MINIs I drive a desk for a job and I play in a band...

    see you around!
