    I'm a soon to be MINI owner and have been a voyeur on this site since the time I placed my order in early September. I'm also a member of NAM. Found both sites by searching for info. And I love this site because it is the "fun" MINI forum. I appreciate all the info sharing from the members. Makes me confident that I'll be able to maintain my MINI for years to come. Thanks!

    Glad to see you here, linak! You can never get enough MINI information or friendliness IMO. MA has a great bunch of posters. I only wish I was located near all the Columbus, OH guys - talk about camaraderie!

    How I found Motoring Alliance

    Nathan,
    Thank you for this great resource. I am a new MINI Motoring Manager at MINI of Des Moines, in Clive, IA. One of our Motorers, Bob Dickelman turned me on to your site and I'm glad he did!

    Thanks again,

    DT

    I found this site while looking for info on removing my mirror covers. I own a 2013 Roadster S and am a former owner of an R56.

    I've lurked various Mini centric forums for a good while now, soaking up all sorts of great information from all of you Mini owners over the years while waiting for the day when I could actually contribute. You guys have already taught me a lot, so I decided to make M/A my home for my Mini protect.

    I was trying to remember what button number 1 on my cruise control did. I didn't want to get my owner's manual out of the glove box and when I searched on the interwebs your site was in the results. The fact that I could use Tapatalk is a big plus.
    BTW - I searched tapatalk for MINI and your site did not come up.

    I found it while cruising the internet mini forums and trying to decide wether or not to buy a mini. A lot of what I read here helped me make a choice I'm very happy with. Thanks guys.

    Bought a used mini and found this forum while searching for more info. I love my 2008 Mini Cooper S Clubman! ...but I still have much to learn about it.
