Hello from Boston

I recently joined the MINI family. Meet my 2018 4-door MCS in Thunder Grey. I spent a few weeks reading through NAM while I waited for her to arrive, and I gotta say, the community made me even more excited to be driving a MINI. I’ve already been on a few trips through scenic New England backroads and looking forward to many more.

Pretty much any of the backroads north of Boston…. 133 out towards Gloucester is nice; 113 heading west towards Pepperell is okay. There are hidden gems everywhere: not too long ago I stumbled across a nice short, twisty stretch in Tyngsborough (Norris Road, I think, between Dracut Road and 3A) on a drive from Haverhill to Nashua.

My all-time favorite discovery was a midnight drive between Bartlett, NH, and Lincoln, NH. The last stretch was along the Kancamangus — always a winner — but before that was an *amazing* 9-mile bit (Albany Ave/Bear Notch Road) over the mountain between routes 302 and 112 — especially enjoyable at that hour of the night with no traffic.
