Hello all...
I've been lurking for some time. I just purchased a 2008 Mini S. I was looking for a car with good gas mileage to commute back and forth to work. I test drove this little mini and MAN I was hooked. These little things are awesome. I've already gotten the bug and started to do some upgrades.

Oorah! My husband is a Marine, and we are stationed in Hawaii. Welcome to the MINI clan, once I test drove one we were both hooked as well .

I just put a K&N Typhoon intake. I've been searching through posts to see what the best bang for the buck is. I'm just getting started but it seems with these little cars everything you could possibly want is on the aftermarket.

Have you made any mods? If so what are your best.

Ain't that the truth? This is the best car-related forum I have seen. Lots of active participants. Whatever info you need, you can get!
Welcome, Marine!
