Hello all,
long time reader and new poster, have an 05 pure silver S. IN love with her and utterly mad with OCD, my wife hates the amount of time I spend detailing and searching (and buying) for new addons,
As for being uncomfortable for a tall person, I am 6'5 with size 13 feet and have more room in the Mini than I do in my Jeep wrangler

My MINI has been in the body shop for the last 4 weeks. I've been driving a chevy cobalt around. I miss my MINI.

Hello everyone..

New member here. I love the Mini and have lots of seat time in them but unfortunately don't own one. They are wonderful cars and I enjoy them so much.

Hopefully you can overlook that I drive a Neon. ;)

Chris

Hello,

I recently bought a 04 Cooper S. I'm glad to see someone else shares my new found passion! Why would anyone drive anything else?

Hello Everyone,

I'm new to the site....Have a racing Mini which is heavily modified on the suspension side, with JCW parts, including roll cage (back seats are rendered useless), JCW head and intake, 22mm rear anti-roll bar, strut brace, 16-inch alloys on Pirellis (mandated size/spec tyre); polyurethane bushings (engine and suspension), adjustable dampers, G2X Data Acquisition system (best thing since sliced bread, right next to the rear anti-roll bar!).

Have noticed that, when driving on the street, I have to make more trips to the dentist, as the ride jars my filling loose....but it's the most fun anyone can have with their clothes on, so I don't mind.

Racing takes place here in Bahrain on the Formula One circuit, which is very smooth and generally hotter than...well, 55 degrees C (ambient!)...tough on brakes and tires.

Anyway, this site is excellent, and I'm looking forward to learning more....will probably end up buying a Mini in the States as well...hope the service is good at the dealerships there, as I'll only drive it once a year.

Stephen...
