New MINI owner/new member

Hello Everyone;
my name is Rick and i purchased a 2003 mcs three weeks ago. it is dark silver with white top and mirrow covers, sport package , premium package , winter package. dual sun roof, HK sound system , chrono, aero package. it rides on alloy 17's with 205 dunlaps. 6 speed. i bought this car for my wife. the picture of the mini i attached is not my Mini but it looks just like it. the Red car is my other car. it is a 1995 Mits 3000 GT Spyder twin turbo. i have owned it for 4 years. it is very fast 6 speed AWD. I am tempted to sell it and buy a Mini S JCW GP or if i could get one a Mini JCW Challenge Car when they come out. Well us poor guys can Dream can't we.
I manage a Machine shop full time. i am a certified firearms instructor and certified armourer. This site was a big help prepairing me for the purchase of our Mini. Thanks
Rick

Welcome to NAM and it's great you adopted the 03 MINI. You will enjoy many fine rides. I like your color choice, dark silver and white is a great combo.

Congratulations and welcome to NAM! There is a GP on sale with 10 miles on it . I have thought long and hard about cancelling my order but know that wouldn't be the right decision for me just yet! Just google or search NAM for 'Mini GP 10 miles' and it should come up.
