Hello all,

New to the site and very new to the Cooper world.

I just traded in my gas sucking Silverado for a 2011 Mini Cooper S, already can't get enough drive time These little rides are great

I am looking forward to learning a lot about these street legal go-carts so I will be reading a lot. The only thing I can think of now is......I really need a coolant temp gauge! I really feel lost without one. suggestions?

Welcome to the club

Chili Red is the best (and fastest) color for the MINI, so be careful out there

If you don't get 1, you ain't doin it right!
