New to the MINI World

Hello all, I've bought two Mini's in the last week. Two months ago I ordered my wife a 07 MCS in Laser Blue and we picked it up last week on Wed. night. She said she wouldn't let me play with it. So Sat. I bought a 02 Dark Silver MCS. It has a UCC Motorwerks exhaust, Alta 15% pulley and a Alta cold air intake. So far both cars are a lot of fun!!

Quick! Sell them both and run while there's still time!
With two you're bound to become a MINI zombie - there's no definitive cure.

Welcome to NAM!

P.S. You showed her!

I can't wait to have 2 minis in the garage. One mini and one SUV just isn't as much fun. Especially when she gets the mini.

Congrats x2

Soon, our plan to take over the world with 2-MINI families will be complete. You have been assimilated.

Congratulations on your MINIs! I am hoping to bring my hubby around after I get mine. From reading your post, I seem to see part of the secret is to allow just a bit of access to the car the first day or so and then completely deny access forever more?

Can do...

Welcome to NAM !

Yet another multi-MINI family.

Her's is 5 years newer, yours has performance mods... a perfect compromise.

Does this mean I will be selling my Saab for a MINI?!

Awaiting pickup on my wife's 2007 MCS. I keep saying it's hers, and she has indicated that's true, but it's my toy.

Seems that you have made the best compromise! Congrats on the two, great-looking MINIs.

(And good question, when did Peoria move?!)

Thanks for all the welcomes. I get to drive the new Mini today. Only to take it to the dealer to get the checker top and window tinting put on though.

I tried to get my wife to trade in her 4Runner for the new Clubman. Makes sense to me but she didn't agree. I'm working on her...
