Hey all, my name's Mike and me and my girlfriend, Jen, will be using this forums to gather all of the MINI owners here, picked up a 05 R53 last Friday and am loving it so much. The MINI is Jen's new car which replaced the 07 Mazdaspeed3, I got a '13 WRX hatchback.

Looking forward to meet you folks especially who is from Chicago!
