My name is Lindy and I'm a long time gear head that has always tried to own cars a bit out of the norm. I recently sold my 700HP Lexus SC300






The car was featured on many websites along with the 09 April issue of Modified Magazine.


After selling this car I spent 3 weeks trying to figure out my next move. Someone mentioned the mini cooper and to be honest I kinda chuckled. I'm a graphic designer and a photographer and need something with either truck space or folding seats for my equipment. Last week I narrowed my search to the Isuzi Vehicross or a Mini and as a member of this site I'm sure you guys know the verdict.

I am now the proud owner of this 2004 S.


This will be a huge change from my 18 MPG SC and the shorter length should be fun to drive!

I don't plan on doing much more to it other than maybe OEM projector headlight conversion,BBK and some mild engine bolt-ons. I'm not even sure about an exhaust as I was on YouTube and Minis with exhaust seem pretty LOUD. I built a computer in my last car and I will probably do the same to this if I can slide down the toggle switches and A/C controls.

I hope to really enjoy this car and this site !

Cheers.

Lindy M.

 

Congrats
Motor On

 

Good choice. Conrats, welcome to NAM. Motor on.

 

Congrats! You'll love your new Mini

 

Congrats and welcome!

 

Hi Lindy and welcome to the forum. That was a heck of machine you moved away from but I'm sure the MINI will give you some grins. Have some short fun now and keep us up to date as the mods start adding on.

 

Welcome to NAM
Nice looking MINI
Every MINI owner I meet I encourage to attend an HPDE (high perforformance driving school) it's the most fun you can have with clothes on.

 

I agree!
