hey all, my names dave and i live right outside Phila. in Gwynedd Valley. I dont currently have a mini but am looking to buy one in the near future; I test drove an 07 last week but i think I like the S/C'd S' better than the turbo.

I currently drive a 98 audi A4 as my daily (lightly modded) and a 1986 Toyota corolla as my track/drift car. i am looking forward to replacing my audi an joining the mini community. I attached a few pics of the audi and corolla for your viewing pleasure!









sorry the last 2 are so tiny!

 

Welcome my fellow Pennsylvanian! And good luck with buying your MINI, once you get one you'll wonder why you didn't get one sooner

 

Hi other MINI people and welcomd! I'm from PA also... around the Gilbertsville area, about 1 hour north of Philly and 1 hour west of Lehigh. My MINI won't be here until mid July, but love to see others in my next of the woods.

 

Welcome

Nice Hachi-Roku!

 

Are you prepared for front-wheel drive?

 

haha i had a type-r swapped civic on spray, im guessing the mini will be similar and hopefully wont get stolen and stripped

 

thanks! i never thought such an old car could be such a money pit!!!! i love her tho she is Uber obnoxious and extremely fun to drive (when its not under the knife)

 

seriously nice hachi.. love it!

I'm in west chester as of now, but moving to seattle.

I'm surprised you liked the S/C'd s's instead of the turbos... I was much happier with the turbo, even though it does fall flat on it's face over 5k...

 

my Ex has an older (03 or 04) S and i liked it alot more than the 07 i test drove for some reason... it just felt like alot more linear power and i love the supercharger whistle!!!

ill post more pics of the hachi when i get home from work tonight if anyone is interested!

 

Welcome, from your southern neighbor in Maryland. You'll like being part of the MINI community!

 

Welcome fellow PA'er (??). Give a shout when you get your Mini if you wanna motor someday. I live close to you in North Wales.

 

North Wales, now that is close! I grew up in North Wales. Motoring sounds great but will have to wait until mine gets born, on order status still!

Nub is beautiful!

 

I want an a4 b5 for a play toy... too many on the wish list though.

Welcome to NAM

 

thanks everyone! and to my fellow montgomery county-ers, i live like 2 seconds from the gwynedd valley train station and would love to cruise (or motor i suppose) when i pick mine up

 

YUP, count me in!

 

so i found my mini and im getting her friday i have never been so excited to get a car (and this will be my 16th)... shes a 2003 BRG/black/black, aero package, sport package, cold weather package, HK sound, factory nav and the best part.... BONE STOCK... the anticipation is killing me!!!!!

and as promised, more hachi pictures...

 

Put me in that area, too. I live in Perkasie but work right in the Lansdale/North Wales area. Right on 63 and North Wales Rd. intersection if anyone is looking.

 

I was in Perkasie last weekend and was stalking a blue MINI with white stripes. haha i was waiting for my husband to come out of an office so i just stood checking out this car, wishing the owner would come out so i could talk to them. Mine is so close to coming home I need to talk to others!

for those who don't have their cars yet, when are they expected in? Nugget is in NY waiting for here to get to West Chester! Any day now, any day

 

my girlfriend lives in the hunt club apartments! (right near there correct?)

 

Not sure of that complex. I work at Advance Auto Parts, right on the corner of 63/Main St. and North Wales Rd. Right across from 7/11. If you see a BRG&W R50 backed up to 63, that's me!

 

Hey hemiheaded, I saw your car - It was sitting at the opposite end of the store backed up! I was stuck at that light!
Very nice.

 

Thanks! Bring your's around when you get it.

 

is there a white mustang there all the time? i see that when im on my way to RT tuning.

 

Often enough, yes. That belongs to a girl (!) that works with me and it is quite built, She also drives a WRX and a swapped Honda of all things.
