1st mini - i'm hooked
Hello ya'll! I bought my 1st mini today after about 3 weeks of searching. A 04 r53. I have already used this site to learn a few things (like what 1 ball means of the differences between models r50 or r53). However, there are many terms I still do not understand, but I'm sure they'll come. I plan to keep my black S a daily driver, mostly stock except for pulley, exhaust, and CIA. I do know this, the mini is a blast to drive.

I know what you mean about being hooked. I never was a "car guy" but I can't get Hobbes off my mind.

It gets better. Find a set of tight corners with little traffic to run it through. The Mini should be a controlled substance.
