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!!
