Welcome all. I hope to see some fresh faces for the Cooper Vineyard run. This ride is a great combination of a fun drive as well as socializing. You do not have to like wine to enjoy this event. But it helps  |

Thanks for the warm welcome. New to the MINI Cooper world, but hope to be here a long time. Checkered Flag MINI mentioned HRMINI while we were filling out the paperwork. I had never heard that before. Anyway, we are glad to be here.

Welcome to all the new MINIacs to the fold. We have a good time and the best way to enjoy your new MINI is by getting involved with other MINI owners. It's also a good way to learn the ins and outs of your new pride and joy. Don't forget to wave at all the MINIs you see on the road. And feel pity for the oblivious owners that don't wave and probably aren't smiling. Poor folks!

Good morning... I am also a recent transplant to the Hampton Roads area, recently moved from Maryland. I have the privilege of owning a 2008 MINI Cooper S, dark silver with black racing stripes, and can be identified fairly easily in any group of MINI's by the ever-present lei on the rearview, and more noticeably, the pink bunny ears I mounted on the steering column. That's why she's known as The Bunny Mini :) ... I joined the group mostly due to the curiosity instigated by a random "join us" card left on my windshield at NMCP (I thought for sure someone was trying to mug me by leaving something on my car... lol )... and also to get my feelers out on who does good mechanical work on MINI's in the area besides the dealership. I'm not happy with Checkered Flag so far... my old dealership in Annapolis was 100,000x better. So, since I drive my poor Bunny hard, I'm in constant need of upkeep. Most recently, new rear brakes, new timing chain and new tires... if anyone knows of anywhere to go that won't rake me over the coals money-wise, please let me know!! Thanks so much!!

WELCOME!!! It's always good to know our cards work as far as getting the name out there!
If you're on the southside (Norfolk, VA Beach, Chesapeake) try Terry Baker at Atlantic Autowerks at 757-466-1269 or on the peninsula try Autohaus in Yorktown (757) 898-1200. I've used both as have other members and been happy.
Hope to meet you and your MINI soon. By the way, a friend of mine, Melissa McLeod. used to be a Motoring Advisor (salesperson) at MINI of Annapolis. She recently left for a job with better hours, but really enjoyed her time at MoA.

Dale, Thanks so much again for pointing me towards Atlantic Autowerks! They were fantastic!!! And extremely fair pricing. I ended up needing a new timing chain assembly (the whole kit and kaboodle)... the same work CF MINI priced me at starting at $3995 just for the kit, Steve got it set up for me for $1450. Including an oil change too!!! Just phenomenal folks and above par work. I'll be going back in a few weeks to get my brakes done Again, thank you thank you thank you!!!!!! Meisha |
