New MCS.....

Hello all, I purchased a MCS about a month ago. I was in a weird position of "having" to buy a new car and the Mini came up on the short list. So off I went to the dealer hoping to find my new Mini, and.....I did.

Here she is all broken already (she still had the packing materials on her when test drove her).



I have never seen myself as a green colored car person, but she suits me just fine. I have to say, I absolutely love this car. Immediate plans are to add a CAI so I can hear the turbo spooling and adding a gauge of some sort (want a ODBII gauge that won't endanger my warranty).
Anyhow, Hello to all, and I wanted to say that I think this is a great forum, people here are not only technically savvy but really do know their coopers! kudos to all.

'10 MCS

Welcome and congrats on the MCS. The BRG isn't for everyone... only those with great taste!

The MINI is one of those cars that wears many colors well. I'm not a huge fan of BRG on most cars, but it looks cracking on your MCS.

Welcome to the forum, get a Scangauge II it won't affect your warranty.

Great color combo. Love the black wheels too.

Let us know which gauge you get. I'm interested in the same thing.

I would have had my 3rd BRG MINI if there was one on the lot when I purchased by current one. Looks really good with the black roof and rims.
