Hello all. I am a new (as of last Saturday) Mini owner and I am loving it. I have a 2010 Mini Cooper S in British Racing Green with a black top and black bonnet stripes.

I pretty much decided about four weeks ago that I needed to replace an aging Corolla and I don't like many of the cars on the market today, especially since I want a standard transmission. The Mini was my first choice within a day or two of beginning my search, and I am very satisfied with my purchase.

It rained yesterday and I already have a burning desire to get it washed. I'm sure this is only the beginning of my obsession with caring for my Mini.

I am looking forward to reading the forums here. Anyway, here is a picture:

 

Hi there and welcome to the family! I always liked the BRG on the newer MINI's ... Do you have any future mods in mind or just enjoying the new car smell for now?

 

Thanks! Just enjoying the smell for now.

Regarding mods, I am not much of a grease monkey and am too busy with two kids to tinker much. About the only mods I am considering would be purely aesthetic in nature - Irish flags on the sunroof and mirror caps (and maybe the door handles). Still, I have no idea where to start, so it'll probably be a while.

Still, I absolutely love the car.

 

Looking good! About the only mods I'd do are either super simple to do myself (like stickers or floormats) or I can have someone else do for a modest sum (like the roof graphic I am about to have installed).

 

Hey, Eireannach, welcome to the CLUB--MINIs (of course) and NAM! That's a fine-looking MINI you've got there. Tell us more about it and you! Have you had your indoctrinational Motoring adventure yet? Once you do, it'll probably be hard to park it again, but we all understand!

Happy Motoring!

 

Welcome to the forum, I bought my car from Schomp also, hope you enjoy it.

 

Thanks. I am pretty pleased with it. I had gone through the "build your own" exercise on the Mini website and the configuration I wanted was nearly the same as the model they had on the floor. It has three of the four packages (not the convenience pack), and I really couldn't ask for more. I have already taken it on a nice drive from Denver to Estes Park in the mountains here, and I absolutely love it. I cannot remember thinking that about a car before.

Thanks. Schomp was a pleasure to deal with. They have some great people working there and they know how to make their clients happy.

 

Welcome!! and good luck with your Mini.

 

Cograts on your New Cooper Looks great ! Enjoy the ride it can do more than you think . El Tiger

 

Welcome, we'll see you when we get to Denver in Aug with MTTS.

 

Thanks everyone. Good to be here.

 

Sure blows away those two Dud cars parked across the street!! I had BRG in a Jaguar S-Type once. Awesome color and should be reserved for British cars only.

 

Welcome to the obsession from MAD-Town, WI. BRG rocks. You'll want to check this thread out & post up a photo of your new BRG ride here as well. Welcome to the club: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...en-thread.html

 

Ha ha, well those cars belong to a nice family, so I won't fault them too much. Anyway, I love the color and it was my first choice.

Thanks, I'll be sure to check out that thread also.

 

By the way, where does one find the Cars movie character graphics that some folks have in their sigs?

 

Congrats! Looks great.

 

Congrats! Welcome to the family and my you enjoy many years of happy motoring!

 

Im a newbie myself to NAM but welcome! Ive love BRG!

 

Thanks all!
