INTEREST? Joint drive with Central Iowa club in 2016?

Historically, this drive takes place in northern Missouri on a Saturday in May. This is also the proposed plan for this year. I was...

Re: Roll Call!

Currently planning on coast-to-coast, hoping that things stay aligned to make it happen. MTTS is STILL not Judy's idea of a vacation, no matter how much I try to convince her. So, will be traveling solo again this time, caravanning with my odd little group of MINI friends I have picked up across the...

Re: DTC Codes

Mmmm, Laguna Green! What a great color! It was a shame that it disappeared from the option list so quickly.

Anyone remember the Laguna Green Cooper S loaner they had a couple years ago? I had it as a loaner a couple times -- man, I loved that car.

'11 R56S ----> '14 R55S

I sold my '11 R56S to CarMax, and they now have it on their inventory: http://www.carmax.com/enus/view-car/default.html?id=11771643 Why did I do that? Because I wanted a Clubbie. Found a nicely optioned and Certified '14 Clubman S and bought it. Previous owner was MINI USA -- was a corporate car. So...

Re: Wheel Opinions

Wow! The difference is stunning!

I really like both looks, but leaning toward the 10s for a more classic vibe.

Re: baron discount

Specifically ask about it next time at Baron. They will add the club code to your customer profile -- then you get the discount every time you go in.

Re: Better Traction for My 2011 Clubman.

If your commute and job requirements mandate that you travel regardless of weather conditions, then the best advice might be to invest in a set of winter tires for the 15" wheels.
