Just got my MCS JCW in Chili Red and White in May. Lots of mods done at the dealer. It's a great car and it's a lot of fun here in the mountains. In two weeks we're going to Scotland to visit relatives. I hope to get to the John Cooper Works and Rockingham Motor Speedway. Maybe get some track time?..September 1st. Looking forward to the sights and sounds of Scotland!

This is cool. I didn't think anyone would look at this...When I'm bumping around I'll be looking for MINI owners' to compare notes. I can't fit my MCS in my bags so it looks like rental time. We're going to the Edinburgh Tattoo and the Highland Games. Some of us here are putting together a web sight. We have a meeting Sunday. Need to figure out a way to do the live web cam thing.

Aye Aye Norse.

You know if your going to the highland games, you have to wear a kilt! And its traditional to take a haggis with you to but remember to keep it on a lead because when all the haggis's get together they get a bit rowdy!!

Highland games 3 Sept. Have to get a MINI for those days.

Our MINI Group got together yesterday. We'll have a web sight soon and I think it'll be "Big Sky MINI's", pass on the link once it's up. Talked about NMS and doing run's and shops and SCCA Time trials and going off track into wheat fields. Did an oil change on one of the MINIs' and put a skid plate under the front of mine."MOSS MINI" aluminum skid plate-fits perfect. Oil change took two hours(figure that one out), skid plate-ten minutes...good times by everybody.
