Ah well, I've been driving a MINI for the past 8 months and loving every moment of it. Have been perusing this site since nearly as long, and finally decided to take the plunge and actually join in.

"Daisy" is a 2002 LY/W MCS, stock except for a few minor "mods" such as boot stripes and an RSD kit. She's what I call my "starter MINI" because someday I dream of a new CR/B MCS.

 

Welcome to NAM. Pics? We like pics .

 

Welcome to NAM! Sounds like a very nice MINI, starter or no.
Smile for miles.

 

Welcome to NAM. I have a LY/W 02 MC. I intend to keep my little "hamstermobile" for some time. It's just never given me any trouble at all.

 

Love the "Smile for Miles"!! It should be a bumper sticker for all MINIs!!
