Hey everyone! I’m new to the club as of today. I live in the Denbigh section of Newport News. Been here all my life. I have a dark sliver 2004 Cooper S that’s heavily modified. It's garage kept and only sees the rain if my daily driver isn’t running.
My Mini started its life belonging to a guy that turned it into a total show car from day one and he did an amazing job. When I came across it for sale, it was one of those opportunities that you just can’t pass up. Since I purchased it I have continued his work with more mods then I can begin to list! Right now I am in the middle of a Cam/550c injectors/ Mynes V2 header upgrade and am running the Bytetronik full access software.
Mini's run deep with my family. Growing up, my parents were members of the local sports car club and raced a non-street legal Mini (that’s a conservative way to describe that car). I remember making many trips to Seven Enterprises to pick up parts. Both of my parents have new Mini's now so it was inevitable that I followed in their footsteps… thou it just took longer than both of them thought I’m sure.
I’m looking forward to meeting some Mini owners and getting out to some events.
See y'all soon,
Cameron Holland

O,.. and yes, I'm sure you guys have seen this one before. It's John Pellerito's Mini. What an awesome job that guy did. I'm having a blast making it my own! |

Pretty sure that's the one our buddy Harry Gerwien did the article on that was in MC2 magazine.
And I know your Dad, though he probably doesn't remember me. I've autocrossed around here for 30+ years. And those of you that haven't seen Bob Holland's Mini it was awesome! The roof of that Mini probably wasn't 48 inches high and it would flat fly.
