Hey Everyone! New Member!

Hey Everyone!

First post, my very own first car. None other than a 2010 Midnight Black MCS.

My Story, as a little guy my dad introduced me to these cars called MINIs and ever since I had my eye on this car. One Father's day I brought him to see the "Italian Job" and we both fell in love ever since!

In 2006, my dad got his first mini cooper and let me drive it. This was the car I learned to drive standard in and just loved the feel in the car!

Just a few months ago my dad returned his Cooper due to his expired lease and got a Brand new 2010 MCS Camden Edition! I soon followed suit and two months later I got my car and so we are like a small Cooper Family!

I've done a couple mods over the two months I have had the car and wanting to do a bit more!

In a few days I'll be putting on a Carbon Fiber Hood Scoop, Mirror Caps and Tailgate Handle.

I can't wait to get Started!

Allow me to be the first to welcome and congratulate you Emvin15! What a nice family story involving the love of MINIs! Your new Midnight Black with the racing stripes is very handsome! I hope you have many fantastic years to come driving it. Welcome again.

Congratulations Emvin15 on getting the car you've always dreamed of and let me extend a warm welcome to you... You're now part of the NAMily!

Thanks for sharing your heartwarming story with us and also for posting pics of your (and your father's) MINI... There's nothing better than sharing pics with your brothers and sisters here on NAM... We really enjoy the pics... Yes we do!

Wow a two MINI family... that's great! Nothing better than a father and son bonding and sharing a love of MINIs...

Drive what you love, love what you drive! Ahead of you and your MCS lay many miles and smiles as you motor down the road of life!

Enjoy!

Welcome, beautiful MINIs! I wish the Canucks the best this season too, hopefully Luongo has some gas left in the tank.

From my two-MINI family to yours...Congrats & Welcome!!! They're like chips...you can't have just one and besides...MINI owners are nice folks...but we don't share the driver's seat very well. Beautiful cars and a great story...

Welcome! Save the money on CF and get rid of the run-flat tyres if you haven't already, they will bring you more joy from behind the wheel.
