Hello everyone. I am the proud new owner of a Pure Silver 2007 MCS named Nigel. I found him in the showroom @ Sandia MINI in Albuquerque, NM on July 20th and purchased him on August 2nd. I have managed to put 1360 miles on him thus far and am looking forward to some spirited driving here pretty soon...

I traded in a Silver 2005 RSX Type S for Nigel.

First gear?

 

I can't seem to shift into first gear.... anyone? anyone?

 

Nice Mini

I think your usertitle changes at 10 or 15 posts..

 

Welcome to NAM, nice pictures in your gallery. You will have to join into some of the MINI fun with the groups in NM and Colorado.

Enjoy your MINI and drive safe. What are the specs on the MINI, did I see black lounge leather?

 

Nigel is a beauty! Welcome to NAM!

 

Thank you. I am totally psyched about the MINI - I look for reasons to go for a drive and would wash him every day if I could. It is a totally cool car and I've really enjoyed it so far. I will definitely look into the local MINI scene - there are a LOT of MINIs here in Santa Fe.

Yes, it has carbon black lounge leather sport seats and the premium package and the piano black interior trim. It also has 35% window tinting (20% on the sunroof, which really helps here in the land of SUN).

I am looking into upgrading my wheels and tires as my first mod. The second could possibly be the JCW Stage 1 kit... I don't know, I have never modified any of my cars before.

I need to get out and take some new photos - the images in my gallery were taken with an LG eNV 2.0 megapixel camera phone @ medium resolution, so there is definitely room for improvement.

Thanks again.

 

Curtis, I just noticed your front stripes read Cooper S... cool
Congrats on the car and hope you have a nice set of new shoes...

 

Lovely! Welcome to NAM and Welcome to Motoring!

 

Nigel is lucky to have a good home - Congrats -

a little over a year ago our "Nigel" arrived home and has become a favorite of the family. Everyday is still a blast! Enjoy
