Man, I finally got one!!!!
Hey folks!
My name is Scott and I finally got my Mini!
I can see already why people love these cars . I haven't stopped grinning like a kid at Christmas since I took the keys from the salesman!
My baby is a 2006 dark silver MCS and she's loooaaadded!
Hopefully I'll get to attend some events and see some other mini maniacs soon.

Welcome!
Wow...that is one very sharp looking MINI! I have an '02 Cooper with a checkerboard roof and love looking at it every day! I've recently been in the market looking for more of a family vehicle...everything I've test driven has bored me...I don't want to get rid of my MINI. If only I could afford the Clubman...hmmmm...
Anyway, welcome and enjoy...this is such a fun group to be a part of!

Thanks. I've only had the Mini for a couple of weeks so no mods yet. I was thinking of adding the Alta airbox kit for starters , but want to stay away from real heavy mods until I know more about them.
Also, I have a good friend who is currently awaiting delivery of his 08 MCS
and am looking forward to attending some events in the Virginia/NC/MD area.

Hi Folks,
Just got my 2008, MCS...red with black top, chrome mirrors. Got the Sirius radio, factory NAV with the voice activate commands and blue-tooth option via the car speakers. Purchase experience from Westchester Mini in NY was great. Only got a chance to drive it home from the dealer, and then for a couple hours...weather is nasty today. Can't wait to let myself loose with it, as I don't how most of the bells and whistles work yet.
One caveat though...I was not impressed with the audio quality and separation. Perhaps I need to get in and tweak things...but is this a weak area or a point for after market upgrade? I'm not after a system that blows peole away, but I do like quality sound.
Thanks

ready for summer?
Man I am ready for Summer and good driving weather! You guys sound like you're ready for the same!
There is a big event down here at Virginia Beach in June or July where they are trying to break a world record for most Minis in a convoy... sounds like a riot! look up the info from sevencitiesminis (google it)
