 I know it’s hard to think about dancing with the cones with snow
everywhere you look. It’s never to early to getting ready for the 2008
AutoX season and with the help of AutoXCooper.com you can save money too.AutoXCooper.com is happy to offer CMMC members a 10% discount on it’s
current line of products along with any products you may see on
www.txwerks.com – www.ddmworks.com and Meganracing.com the last two offer
products for your other rides as well.

While we focus on “Just-A-Cooper” we will offer products that work on all
Coopers with the same goal of offering you an edge in the cones, without
pushing your bank account over the edge.
