Just WAIT until you have 2 MINIs in the family. The MOD "competition" begins....

1 mod for him, 1 mod for me, 1 mod for him, 1 mod for me, 1 mod for him, 2 mods for me, 1 mod for him, 3 mods for me.

MINI - it's not just a car, it's a lifestyle and an obsessive compulsion

No, she just needs to spend some time with Tigs and Black Beauty and me. "Mods" don't just go beneath the bonnet, there are all kinds of fun ways to YOU-ify your MINI.

Hi and Welcome! I see 2 MINIs coming soon... Maybe one will be a Cabrio? Your GF just might not want to share...which is understandable...
they are just way too fun to keep to yourself...

hehe.. Actually, she doesn't want a cabrio, and Im not too partial to them either.. So Im assuming both will be regular coupes. She wants a LY/W with white stripes too.. Im thinking PS/B.

I may be bias for Silver though.

Batgirl; are there any pics of your other half's DinanS? I have a feeling he has what Im imagining...

That sure would be nice... but i didnt even get that kind of deal....

David we can see what kind of deal we could work out on 2 MINI's (and if its a stick and an Automatic S i may have some previously experience MINI's that you may want to look at like a 2005 S Auto that is Dark Silver and maybe a 2007 Manual??) Who knows....

Well, batgirlwildcat....BoarderDave either quickly got bored with NAM (and us), OR he went out and bought 2 new MINIs over the 4th of July and hasn't been seen since!

Nonsense! I was out of town and my home computer is giving me issues. I wasn't able to get on forums much. Sadly, no MINI's purchased..

Thanks Carlo.

I have yet to venture over to test drive one with you guys.. I drove by there on Sunday.. but I cant bring myself to go test drive it yet. I honestly have NO way of getting one right now and don't want to get myself all fired up (more than I already am) about something I can't have.

But thanks. If I come up with any questions or come into a bit of money somehow (haha, I wish), I'll let you and Amanda over there at SB MINI know.

Sorry about that, As I was saying.. when I registered all I was asked was my email address and a password. I wasn't given an option for a screen name. Obviously you don't have to use your email address as a screen name, no one else seems to be.
Thanks for any help.

haha. Well if you can tell me how to buy a car, without needing to pay for it; I'll leave work right now and go drive one off the lot of SouthBay MINI.

Unfortunately, I don't believe they are giving away free cars right now..


Oh and welcome to the new guy in my thread here. I would suggest posting an intro thread in the 1st Gear section and introduce yourself and ask your questions.
