New to this forum, but not MINI. Here is is "Nigel" a 2003 Cooper S with dealer JCW tune kit and brake upgrade.


A quick stop for gas during a recent trip around Galveston Island

Great Find

Very, very nice looking Generation 1 car. You have found a rare animal. Enjoy.

Thanks. We like it. This last year has seen us get completely "MINI" crazy. My wife traded her Land Rover LR4 for a dark blue Countryman (immediately had the dealer add the JCW tune kit, LED aux lights and dash camera), and just last week, I bought a beat up tired 2004 MC40 that I plan to resurrect and take to MTTS 2021 next July. I might start a build resurrect thread over on the official MC40 place for that one.

Here is another picture

Nigel in the parking lot at work with a few friends (also coworkers)

Nigel "sharing" the garage with Monty. Nigel will soon need to spend a month or so in the driveway as I resurrect Monty. I am thinking of getting a car cover to keep the sun from damaging the vinyl flag on the roof.

Recently picked up this 2013 JCW roadster in BRG II over tan. Best color! CAn't wait to do some top down driving when the weather gets better.

09 MCS BRG I bought this over 2 weeks ago, had a new clutch and timing chain installed before I purchased it. Since then I have been busy with : replaced turbo oil feed line, oil cooler seals, valve cover gasket, fuel filter , HPFP, silicone intake pipe, RSB end links, rear brake pad sensor ( solder together) new wheels and tires, a million little fixes all over ( bulbs, nicks, dings etc) clean and detail > Came with Wagner tuning FMIC, NM piping, koni struts all around, larger sway bars

Should I add more red accents? Like the JCW red and black checkered mirror caps, red foglights?
