Newbie here....Greetings to all!!

Hello good folks!!

I just wanted to drop a "hello" as I am soon to be a MCS owner (waiting for the paperwork to clear.

I was in the market for a nice fun car....and landed on a Mini Cooper S.

I must say, I'm a complete newbie to Mini and I am looking forward to learn more about this amazing car and all the MODS!!

Found a pretty good deal (IMO) through a friend, so I had to jump on it. I will be it's 2nd owner but the previous owner took very good care of it so I'm very pleased...

Specs of my MINI.

2005 DS/Black MCS
Premium Package
Sports Package
Xenon
LSD (I was told these were hard to find?)
Aero Kit Package
15% Pully (Not sure what this does) LOL...
Sway Bar (Again...suppose to be good for cornering?)
Borla Exhaust (Sounds really nice)

Bought her for $18.5k with 7000 miles on the clock. (Weekend car)

Please excuse my ignorance on some of these things....feel free to chime in and explain some of these Mods? Thanks!!

Welcome, nothing like finding a low mile MINI. She sounds sweet. Be sure to put up some pictures when you get her.
