Hey. I'm Matt. I am from Atlanta GA originally but moved to SC over 10 years ago. After living in Charleston for a long time, I moved to Easley(right outside of Greenville) and bought my first MINI. I have an '08 Cooper S. Sparkling Silver with black stripes. No mods currently, but I am interested in finding some better wheels, exploring performance brakes and tweaking some powertrain stuff, post warranty. I'm looking for other owners in the upstate SC area to take on some of the mountain roads around here as well as get some info on MOTD next spring. Drop me a line about it or to just say hi.
Welcome aboard. Jim MOTD information here: MINIs on the Dragon 10 (May 2 - 6, 2012) - Motoring Alliance :: MINI Cooper Forums
Welcome Matt, thanks for joining M/A! You'll start to see a lot more chatter about MOTD 2012 soon. This will be some bash planned as it is the 10th year for MOTD. When looking for other owners in your area check out our Clubs feature. It's a listing of MINI Clubs form all around, I do believe there is one in the Upstate SC area.
Hi there and welcome to M/A.... Speaking of the Dragon, there is a Fall gathering of MINI's coming up soon. You can get more info by going to the club section on this forum. Look under the Tar Heel MINI group for more details on "Slay The Sleeping Dragon".
