I've been looking around here for awhile and decided to go drive one. Spent 10 minutes on a test drive and I was sold. This will be my DD. What a fun car! Even though its a slushbox (great for CA traffic) its still a blast. I think its a nice addition to the stable. Its so easy to toss around and so damn stable, you cant help but to have a big smile when driving it. Cant wait for my first autocross.

What a great forum really stoked to be here.

Mods are on the way! Next time you see it it will be much lower. Why does it sit how high vs the earlier ones?

 

Great color combo! Enjoy!

 

What a little beauty! Welcome! I know you'll have lots of fun with your new 'toy'!!

 

Nice ride rbrl8apex, and your MINI too! Welcome to the world of miniacs. I also like your color combo. Sort of reminds me a canvas just waiting for some creativity. After all, with a MINI, modding is half the fun! Admittedly, you would have to do some super serious modding to reach the lbs/hp that your 911turbo maintains, but a modded MINI in the 200-220hp range (fairly easy to do) is a blast to drive --and I don't care who you are.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! I have put 500 miles on it already and loving every minute of it. It truly is a great ride and a awesome bang for the buck. Now I know why you all are "miniacs". Let the mods begin!

 

Welcome to the forum, know you are going to love your MINI, ENJOY!

 

Congrats & Welcome! IMHO it's the most fun for the money. Enjoy...can't wait to see and hear about your mods.

 

Sweet. That other horse in your stable is a beauty, too!

Check out Way Motor Works for your mods. You'll be glad you did!

 

Awesome! Congrats!
Autocross will be a blast!

 

Your new baby looks amazing. That's exactly the color combination I'm looking for. Have fun with it!
