Yet another new guy

Greetings!

I joined this site last week, was thrilled to find it. Wow, what a fun and helpful resource!

I've been drooling over the Mini Cooper ever since its '02 intro, and have finally found myself in the position to get one. Probably going to begin looking at gently pre-owned for starters, but we'll see. The last car I owned that was an absolute thrill to drive was an Acura Integra (I put 190K on that baby!). For the past few years I have been driving a pretty sweet 4Runner, but at this point I don't need the size or capacity of an SUV.

I'm in the Midwest, and I look forward to contributing to the site as my Mini madness grows.

Cheers!
Mark

Welcome to NAM! I owned a 97 Integra GSR and a MINI is much more fun to drive! Get one soon, you'll love it.

Marko, I don't know if it's still available, but if it is, it would really be worth checking this one out.

27,000 miles
cvt
custom exhaust ( quiet )
k&n intake
painted arches and interior pannels
h-sport springs
yoko tires
konig wheels

This car has never been abused and looks really really good. We always get compliments on it whenever we drive it which hasnt been much lately.

Not sure what its worth but I would like to get $16,000 or best offer.

Wow, I found this thread again. Time to update! It took me two years since my first post above (and I've lurked on this fabulous site ever since), but after driving a number of prospective MINIs over the past couple years, I finally drove home a new 2010 MCS last night. What a blast!

Now that I feel "real" I hope to contribute regularly. Uh, as soon as I get back from goin' out for a drive.....

Cheers everyone!
