Not too much in NYC. The little bit of snow we did get was washed away by the rain. Then the rain froze over. Then the ice melted at some way-too-early time this morning. (Please don't ask me how I know that....lol)

We had a wintry mix in Clifton, VA, but my Roadster made it through okay. We are supposed to get 2"-4" tomorrow.

Here in SoCal, at least in the 661 area, it's been really cold and windy, but no snow Makes me grateful that this car has heated seats and a heater unlike my old car

I have been skeptical about bright white wheels on a pepper white MINI, but this looks very nice. Well done!!!

I graduated from USF in Tampa, FL, but spent a semester at Chaminade University of Honolulu. I officially became the world's worst surfer.

Good luck with the Hawaii job!

Hi all - I'm a new (to me) R53 P/W MCS JCW owner.

Is #623 available? That's my AX car number.

Thanks, Bob

Thank you very much! Do we have plans? You betcha! I don't want to reveal it just yet but suffice it to say that goodies are on the way to our doorstep from around the US and the UK. Now I just need to figure out how to get my wife to agree to a M7 2-tier wing.

I was about to order graphics from MMG until they gave me the $1300 price tag. We're planning someone a little less than hoped but along the lines of a Challenge car.

Awesome news on the number! I have used that plate for over 30 years.

I can't wait to run the Mini this coming spring in AX. My youngest son has an R53 as well so we'll be classed together. He's good at AX but I have taken him a few times.

With the new Blizzak LM-60 RFTs, the car feels like it would be a dream in a rubber-to-ice 2-wheel class of Ice Racing. I just find this car so compliant and steady, almost predictable. And I love the way the rear trails right back into place when it gets out there on uneven ice.

I'll get some pictures up as soon as the weather is better, the car is cleaner and the temp is above -15F.

Thank you for such a nice welcome. My wife and I really love Katie. Thinking about getting another one for me, a hard top. Pepper white of course!
