New MINI Owner - MC SiG/B 2003 - In Indiana

I've posted a couple of things on NAM since being introduced to the MINI craziness - I mean that in the best way - honest . I've owned a number of different types of rides before from a Chevy Luv pickup to a '51 Plymoth to a Jeep Wranger and a lot of others in between. Each has their own 'personality' that dominates your driving style from the minute you get behind the wheel.

Well, I am here to introduce my latest 'adaptive personality' that affects my daily drive - Cornelius!

He's a 2003 MC (just a cooper) Silk Green driving machine. I found him on the local CarMax lot right after selling my Silverado - gas and job issues! He joined the family and has driven from Indianapolis to the four corners of the state - partly because of my job, partly because we joined the Car Club of Indiana.

I've done no 'modding' as yet to him - ok - I added a dashboard compass and then a TomTom (using Austin Powers or Darth Vader voice overs). But I am considering leaving him alone from MID (Mod Infecteous Directive) and saving that for my next MINI - yes he's already spread the fever for another to me!

Anyway, here he is in his understated smoothness - I give you Cornelius
