New Guy in Denver, Colorado

Hello, I just became the very proud owner of a somewhat infamous Electric Blue with white top, mirrors, and bonnet Stripes Cooper S. Was formerly owned by a Champion Supersport Racer (Motorcycles). Still figuring out Mods he did to the car. I know the pulley was swapped, header back exhaust, Brembo brakes, suspension, cold air box, and hopefully I will never need the Roll Cage. Other Mod could be a Mystery. It's Extremely fun and Fast!!! I am interested in meeting other Cooper enthusiast, becoming active in your club/s, and registering for Minis in the Mountains. CooperRs/Richard

Ps Sorry, Don't know all the lingo yet. R36, R55...? mini or MINI?? Secret wave, honk, or light flash??? etc...Please fill me in.

Hiya CooperRs! Rolls out the red carpet....

First...welcome and congrats on your new baby! Pics please...we like pics...mmmmm

Second...wave, honk, flash, peace sign, whatever - any other MINI you see. It is AMAZING when others wave back.

Third...sign up for MINIs in the Mountains (MITM). It's in your area. I can't wait to get there and meet everyone.

Also, join your local MINI club. From what I've experienced, the Co club is very friendly

Everything else will come in time....the lingo, posting addiction, modding addiction...brace yourself...it's a wild ride

WELCOME and CONGRATS!!!

Sounds like you have a little power house of a Mini on your hands. I'm sure you'll enjoy every minute of getting to know your new ride.

Just ordered my first Mini and I'm in the waiting game at the moment. Praying for no hurricanes to slow its journey to the US.

Congrats again from the Eastern side of things here on the Virginia Beach coast line.

Welcome to NAM, it sounds like you have a nice MINI to enjoy.

Pictures, good information and NAM friends, what more can you ask for.

I checked your gallery, it is sadly lacking in pictures.

Come up to MITM, lots of these folks will be there. Check out the 5280 run on Sunday, it should be a great one.

Welcome CooperRs! I'm new, too, and still trying to figure out the lingo. It's a language of its own!

Sounds like you have a great car with a cool story. Enjoy...I know I'm loving mine!!
