Hello everyone!! The Tucson monsoon season has sunk my 1 moth old Nissan 350Z. Im now the new owner of a '05 BRG Mini Cooper S JCW. All I have to say is now is thank you Mother Nature. This car is sooo much cooler then my Nissan ever was and this forum is just as cool.

Here are a couple of pics of my ride:grin:

It was a blessing in disguise.

Welcome!

Great looking BRG! Welcome to NAM!

:sly: It appears as if SOMEbody stole your door sill plates. :sly:

So, you weren't in love with the Z car ? Interesting. Please share.

Glad you love the MINI though. And yours is quite a looker, too. :nod:

Car has the Aero kit side skirts and thus it doesn't have the factory door sills plates:thumbsup:

Welcome mate:thumbsup:

Door sill plates?! Hmm looks like you're right. I better get those replaced!

As for the Z, its just my Mini has so much more unique and has more personality.

It's normal for the door sills to come off when the Aero side skirts are installed. Nothing is missing but you might want them to fill in the gap there.

Gawd, that is a beautiful color combination! Hey, what happened to your Z??? You cant just leave us hanging like that!!!

Welcome, nice to see a very nice looking 05 adopted into a new home. :thumbsup:

Anything special planned for mods or just going to enjoy a great car as they are supposed to be enjoyed? :grin:

Thank you for the pictures. Fill us in on the Z and being drowned?

Welcome Aboard - glad to have you:thumbsup: I almost bought a 350Z a few years back. I think it's a pretty nice ride, but it just didn't make me SMILE like the MINI - Congrats!! It's beautiful:nod:

Donna:cool: :grin: :cool:

Nice Ride. Love the colors. My MGB has the same colors.

minimarks Aug 22, 2007 05:52 PM

Welcome and great lookin BRG! Now TELL us about the drowning....:cool:

CR&PW&JB Aug 22, 2007 05:54 PM

Where'd he go ??

Reminds me of another poster that came on the board some months back.

He, too, kept a lot of things secret.

He, too, disappeared shortly after making his appearance.

He, too, left us all longing for more.

His name is still spoken of with great reverence in these parts. In fact, if you listen closely, you can hear the wind calling his name...

that is a beautiful mini cooper :)

congrats :) Yes, the mini is much cooler than the nissan in a lot of ways that will make you smile and other smile as well.

I own a BRG as well, mcs. brg/brg with chromeline. I like the kit on that car with the stripes, a class act. Your mini will have a really collectible quality to it. Keep it safe!

Congrats! Love the exterior/interior combo.

So, care to share what happened to your Z??:sly:

moodylewdd Aug 23, 2007 07:49 AM
