Just got my MINI

New to the Mini frenzy! I really enjoy driving this car. My Metallic Gold, Black top with the movable Moon Roof is just AWESOME! A head turner for sure.
It sure beats riding a motorcycle in this Hot Texas weather!
Happy motoring...

Just got my Mini

I believe Metallic Gold is a genuine Mini color. Not many came with that color.
Here's a picture.
I just changed the air filter, replaced it with a K&N. What a difference not to mention that the previous owner had never changed it before. That's like eating buffet with someone else's dirty plate. How can people forget to chnage and air filter is beyond me.
Still waiting for the Tornado air induction system,,,,,
Enjoy,
Val

Nice ride! I like your Metallic Gold, but any color is great if it's a MINI.
