Hi! Just added a MCS to the stable
My fiancee has loved the Mini for years, and I have some time in some Mini race cars, so we decided to pick one up! It is a '04 Chili red car, in pretty much stock configuration. No paint and no stories......and she loves it!
.......and that's what counts! So I'll be hanging around here to see what the Mini guru's have to say. Thanks for having me!

Welcome! Pictures are always appreciated. (And some of the stable mates sure sound interesting also, maybe throw in a few pics of those also)

Aloha and welcome to NAM.
Good choice on the MINI.
Plenty of mods available if and when ready.
Meanwhile just enjoy and maybe consider some track or High Performance Driving school time.

I am a firm believer in track days and intstruction.....in fact I am a chief driving instructor for the Ferrari Club of America, and the track events coordinator for the Desert region of the FCA!

Trade you a drive in my "other car" for a drive in your "other car". Any of them, you choose. (OK, maybe not the Ducati).

Welcome to NAM.
Nice looking CR 04, nice garage and good stable of cars.
It appears you enjoy the ride and what these cars can do.

I would be happy to swap rides, but I don't think my garage is worth the commute from Maine!
