A little story and some decent pics of my new S

My mom bought herself a 2004 mini S last year and ever since I haven't stopped drooling. Well, i go to school in orange county, and during spring break a few weeks ago I was able to stop back home in Portland after my original trip and surprise, they told me to cancel my flight back to OC and drive the MINI, and now it's officially mine. Anywhoo, mod's will come with the money, so far just lamin-x yellow fogs and a blackout beltline is all but i'll keep you all updated. Here are some decent pics from a earlier tonight during a wash session, enjoy.






when my mom first brought it home... of course it had to be left out in the snow. i cried a little inside.

Haha wow thats an awesome story! Maybe I should keep nagging my grandmother about how I love her new Audi...

In terms of mods, have you considered a stubby antenna? Those pics make it so apparent of the length of that thing. Theyre easy to install and theyre not too expensive either.

Congrats on being a mini owner!

without a doubt. i used to have an mk4 golf and it hurts to think about how much money i put into modding that thing. i learned a lot though, and the MINI will def be right the first time. i guess it could be said that the "mod bug" is a sickness i don't mind having.

thanks again for all the words guys, i can't stop raving about how great the mini community is. anyways, added a few pics up top, check em out

cool car, even cooler place to go to school.

I would love to go to school in Orange County. Went and looked at schools there, but never made the move.
