Wow, I'm not sure we've had any posters from South Africa before! Welcome to NAM!

Are there many new MINIs in South Africa?

@VRBeauty

Thanks for the welcome!

We don't have that many Mini models in SA. The new shape has just been launched about three weeks ago here and we only have the non-turbo Mini and MCS turbo here. But I do hear we might get the Diesel model as well...

Hi, Another one from SA here. We have quite a range here up in JHB and a community that meets up for the occasional breakfast run. We all have pretty much one thing in common, the love of our MINIs...

Welcome to NAM, I have friends who own a home in SA on the beach. Nice to see a very nice MINI with great mods.

What brand are the 18 inch wheels, the look great on the MINI.

More pictures of some of your drives would be great.
