Relatively new (end of December) Mini owner doing split duty between the frosty fly-over heartland of the U.S. and the California coast.

Here's the first FWD car I've owned in over two decades...

... on the day it was delivered.

Couple of shots of its...


... people-carrying innards.

And here are a couple shots more representative of what it looks like now...


Only had a couple of days to experience the "handling" with the Pirelli run-flats before swapping over to a set of Blizzaks on S-Lites.  From what I've heard about the Euforis, the snow tires aren't much worse.  Looking  to dump the run-flats for some manner of performance 215/40s when spring arrives.  I rather suspect on the forum it'll be possible to get many suggestions as to which I should consider

Mini is my company car which is but one reason it's sitting in the garage with the snow-covered driveway and not out west.

Generally speaking, what you folks do around here for fun?

... Yep, those always are good for a few jollies.

Especially, as I've rediscovered, in a front-drive buggy.
