Hello from FL
Recently purchased a Dark Grey ( don't know what the factory name is) 04 MCS, 60k, Bone Stock (not for long), but immaculate..23rd birthday present to myself 
. Ive rebuilt a few mustangs so the mini was new for me, but I can honestly say I have more fun driving my mini than I did the 500rwhp 02 mustang I used to have..I am officially converted hehe. Nice touch on the stickies, the info provided was extremely helpful!

Thanks, Ill post pictures as soon as I get around to washing it, kind of embarassing lol. The detail dept was closed when I took delivery. The mini is already a blast to drive..just wish I could find a place where I can recreate The Italian Job haha. I was one of those guys who saw it and thought "I wanna do that". Orlando tourist traffic kinda blows, too many brake lights..need a nice sidewinder to open up on 
Welcome to NAM, fellow Floridian and Mustang guy. 
The MINI certainly is a lot of fun to drive. Neither of my Mustangs are fast, but I realized a few years ago that being fast in a straight line only isn't nearly as fun as a quick, great handling car... hence the MINI and the IRS-into-Foxbody project.
Anyway, be sure to check out Sunshine MINIs, the Florida MINI club. Lots of good people and local events.

I wish I learned that sooner, Idve saved a few bucks :( Better late to the party then never at all I guess. Hows the IRS swap coming? Ive ridden in a fox that swapped from solid axle, mightve just been me but I noticed a big change on the road..best of luck and thanks for the link
Welcome to the forum, glad you are happy with your MINI, you will soon forget the Mustang, I now have to think hard to remember my Camaro.

The swap is progressing slowly but surely. I'm currently trying to replace all the rubber IRS bushings with Delrin, so that's a lot of fun :/. Better to do it now that later, though.
I haven't ridden in an IRS Fox, although 99-04 Cobras sort-of count, but I've read up on the different suspension options a lot, and I there are a lot of things I like about the IRS.
Yeah, definitely check out the Sunshine MINIs group. I'm not sure where you're from in FL, but it's a great group overall, and good for finding local events.
