What's up all

Traded in my 2006 mustang for a 2010 Mini Cooper. Loving the car so far. After a week of ownership finally decided to join the forums and get some ideas from everyone here. Just wanted to say hi to everyone.

Went with Automatic, premium package and cold weather package... Also bought the rubber floor mats (will need those with crazy chicago winters). Also added a portable xm radio... Wish the factory one wasn't so pricy.

Looking to get a bike rack (any suggestions), Black jack mirror covers, black jack side scuttles and black jack sun roof decal.

So far I'm really impressed with the handling, gas milage and the stereo.

Whoa, a very nice one indeed. That colour is great! I"m sorry, but it won't stop with Black Jack additions, There will be more to come .
Don't know much about bike racks, but alot of venders on NAM should be able to help you out. Good luck and have fun.

Greetings thxultra and welcome to the NAMily!

You passed the first requirement with flying colors, and that is, posting pics of your little one! Feel free to share more pics with your brothers & sisters here on NAM cause we all love pics... yes we do!

Congratulations on your getting a MINI... get ready cause your lifestyle will never be the same again!

MINI Madness will take hold (if it hasn't already) and you will find yourself planning activites around driving your MINI!

You made a wise choice in automobile cause no other car on the market will leave you with such a big smile after driving it! NONE!

Nice looking MINI... I hope you both share many smiles and miles together!

Enjoy & Motor On!

Ahh, well you picked a great car and a great forum to satisfy that addiction of yours. Congrats on the new MINI...looking sharp already with the dark silver.
