2nd MCS, 1st time NAM member

Hello to everyone! I recently purchased a 2004 MCS in EB (my second MCS), and discovered what a great community they have here on NAM. I hope I can be helpful on these boards, and meet some fellow Mini owners along the way.
I am a big car buff that currently sells Infinitis, and have worked in the motorsport industry in the past. If you have any general tech questions about fuel injection/timing tuning, or engine building; I am your man. As I go through my Mini and learn more about it, I may be able to offer more Mini specific insight as well.

If you have questions about any other vehicle, I might be able to help as well. I have owned: Many B16/B18 Hondas, Nissan 240SX(SR20 & RB26), Mazda RX8, Infiniti G35, Honda S2000, Lexus IS300, Audi Allroad, Honda Element, Infiniti G20, Toyota MR2 (turbo & Non), Volvo V70R, '03 MCS, Toyota Prius (haha) and more I can't think of!

Currently have my (new to me) 2004 MCS, and an Infiniti EX35.

If you live in MN, hit me up!

Welcome to NAM!

Congrats on your second MINI!

I traded my 07 M35 on my new Clubbie. I had a 04 G35 coupe before the M.

Nice! The M35 is a great car, but getting a litlle long in the tooth. The 2011 M37/M56 should be great though.

This not the only site on the web that is for MINI owners, go have a look around, see what else is out there. Just don't let anyone steer you in one direction or another.

I know that there are other forums, but this is the only one that sneaks through the filter at work!

Welcome to the obsession from MAD-Town, WI, another small point of light in the great white frozen tundra. Of course, pix are expected!

Yeah, I will get some pics up soon, but before I do; I have to choose a set of wheels to replace the stock white 16" that make it look like a smurf.
