New Owner from Atlanta, GA

Hello NAM!

New owner here...picked up a new to me 2008 MCS last week. Still getting used to FWD. I came from a 2004 Mazda RX-8. The 8 was my DD/Track car for over 9 years of driving fun...but family plans required a change. So did gas prices.

I am an architectural project manager, photographer and track junkie...I have already found this site to be very useful. I look forward to becoming a part of this ownership group.

The ride....as it is now.




Next weekend the MachV springs come off, TSW linears go on, camber plates, wheel studs, and some other stuff to get ready for the first track event for the car at the end of October.

I am sure I will be asking some n00b questions around the board very soon...

Welcome to NAM and the MINI world.
Nice looking MINI. I especially like the scoop.

Good luck on the track.

I think it is the m7 scoop. But not sure. It's odd to buy a car and not know what's been done to it...

Thanks for the welcome. I am happy with the start point on the car and am looking forward to getting to know the car. I have been reading up on the forum a lot...

You are near Way Motor Works. GO THERE. Don't deal with any other mechanic if you're in Way's backyard.

Yep. Already going to see them next week. ..they have already commandeered my paycheck! ..I have a friend who had a 2009 JCW so he has passed on some good knowledge. But I am looking forward to the new project.
