And in that instance a proper use of the comma is important. I was never taught to use commas like Bud does. My opinion only is it makes reading the sentence difficult and jerky. I understand Chuck is the new comma king. But new subject. I'm giving consideration to selling the 4A after all of these years. and buying a new style Mini. Maybe even for the "Family" car to stay with a British car but one I'm comfortable to drive back north whenever I want. I've been reading about and talking to folks about Mini's and now getting concerned about some critical maintenance things necessary. Like Supercharger service on F53's (I think that's the model number) which is expensive but if not done can be even more expense if it fails. What does Tom have and what's been his experience with his Mini's.

Crooked River is owned and operated by Jonathan & Jennifer Dresser, the shop is in (north) Akron and they have a great reputation for servicing Minis in the Cleveland area. They are also enthusiasts and very involved in the northeast Ohio MINI Facebook Group. I bought a new 2023 MINI Clubman JCW ALL4 as my daily driver and love it. The Clubman is roomy, by MINI standards, and a blast to drive. I bought a second set of wheels so that I can easily swap winter and summer tires. I've been thinking about adding a second, newer gen MINI convertible to the fleet but not ready to commit to a fourth and final vehicle which will max out my available space. For what it's worth, I'm not a fan of the newer MINI Countryman after driving one as a loaner for a couple of weeks earlier this year. The size is right there with smaller American SUVs and has you wondering how the MNI badge still applies. The user interface is all touch screen driven and not to my liking. I hope this helps.
