New To NAM - MCS On Order

Hi Everyone,

I joined a couple of weeks ago to learn more about MINIs. My wife and I have been thinking about getting her a MINI, so I wanted to do some research. This is definitely the place for that! The MINI experience is all new to us, but it looks like it's going to be fun.

After doing our research, and taking a long test drive last Friday, we placed an order. She's getting an MCS Chili Red (body, top, mirrors), 6-Speed Manual, Black Leather, DSC, LSD, Xenon, Driving Lamps, Bridge-Spoke/All Season wheels/tires, and a few other goodies. We like the viper stripes, but will check the aftermarket if we decide to get them.

I'm learning the MINI lingo, but have not been able to figure out what "Triple Chili" means. Is it the same as CR/CR with CR Mirrors?

Anyway, glad to be aboard. She even said I could drive it once in awhile...

Rick

welcome aboard!

welcome to the two of you, and I hope you enjoy the car as much as I have mine

FYI the search function here is not as good as google, so if you are so inclined try this

www.google.com then in the search terms start with site:northamericanmotoring.com followed by whatever you like!

cheers and happy motoring

charlie

Greetings and welcome to the MINIverse

You had it right, triple CR means body and roof and mirrors. CR an excellent choice!

Thanks everyone! We're both excited about the new MCS and my wife is already asking when it will get here - not for awhile yet...

She has her Mini Lounge setup and will be checking regularly. I'm doing research for local contractor to install racing stripe and I just found out yesterday about "Minis on the Dragon", MTTS, etc.
