Where is the spare tire!

Just kidding I love this car. Best thing in town and great ride. My name is Jon is my name and I live in North Denver. I am friends with 10Zero and he has indoctrinated me into the Mini community. So what you all are reading this for is this: 2011 MCS Eclipse Grey Metalic with carbonic black checked interior accents. Glass on top and basically every bell and whistle bsides the sport wheels and tires. I love the car and the manual gearbox is a blast. Good to be here and look forward to meeting some folks.

Rock on!!!!

Jon, you might see a few slandering posts in here about the cars, no different than the motorcycle forums we've been on...some people you can never please. Take it with a grain of salt, and start motoring! Welcome my friend!

I do have pictures, but I am in a training class and my only lifeline is my phone. This thing will not allow me upload any pictures so when I get to my computer I will post one up. I am working on the acronyms and the jargon so excuse me as I learn. I was feeling good about getting MCS down right away.

All that is left is a 1964 Honda CA95 (second owner). I had a Ducati 1098, 916, and Hypermotard. All are gone along with the Infinity G35 and the Mini has more than filled the void.

Special thanks to Pat for being a great knowledge bank that I can draw on. Even better there are no annoying ATM fees or costs.

Welcome to the Mini world. Great title for your introductory post. You will have a lot of fun in your new Mini. I sure have with mine. There are some naysayers as 10ZERO indicated but keep your salt shaker handy and all will be well.

Welcome aboard!

I like it. Looks real good.
Oh and by the way the spare tire is in the secret hiding place. LOL

Enjoy your Mini. You will find that the car does real well in snow so no worries there. (As long as it does not have to be a snowplow that is.)

Regards,

Pat

A belated welcome to the community. You're going to have a blast with your MINI. Good looking car (but aren't they all?).
