Like many Mini owners (haha, many Mini--alliteration), I'm pretty excited (overly excited, perhaps) about owning a Mini. 'Jumped into an '06 mini cooper s a few days ago. It's by far the most fun car I've owned (SRT4, SVTFocus, VW GTI are it's predecessors on the timeline).

Anyway, stuff: bay area, grade-school teacher, moderate car-enthusiast, music production, and acting, on side, bum, etc. (This is starting to sound like some classified ad. No, this is not a classified ad).

Enough of the intros. 'Hoping to meet fellow enthusiasts, go to events, immerse myself in the culture.

Cheers!

 

yay, i'm replying to myself for no reason at all!

 

Welcome! I'm down in Sunnyvale (San Jose suburb). I'm also into music production, what do you like to work with?

Mini is def my fav car so far (Volvo T-5R, EG Civic Hatch). I recently joined a meet-up group in the South Bay, http://www.meetup.com/motoringminis/ and there is a meet this Sunday...

 

Welcome, olenery! Now go out and find an auto-up module and a euro parcel shelf.

 

Yo. I am an extreme amateur at music production. Extreme. 'Been making beats with an old-a$$ Ensoniq for years. Studio--Mac Platform, half-antiquated ProTools software, and other basics, studio mic, and usually coffee, and food. ! We're talking hip-hop, r&b, soul, or whoever the wind-blows at any given moment. 'Been dormant. But, it's something that can be fun to re-up. You? Music? Styles? etc.?

 

Hello! I have no idea what those things are! But, I'm eager to learn more about this amazing machine, the MINI! !!!

 

Welcome!! I live in SF Bay Area as well, SJ to be exact.

 

Welcome to Minimania!! Hope to see ya motoring in the East Bay.

 

welcome. I'm a 2 month old noob.

I'm out in Tracy but work in Hayward. My Mini is my daily driver and I am loving it.

Lets see some pics of your new ride.

 

I dig. Just got Pro Tools User certified this week! Mostly use Reason & Logic on a MacBook Pro. Been producing about 2 years. I mostly make jungle/d&b, dubstep, downtempo and drumstep.

Where u at?

 

Brentwood (but moving soon), Fremont presently, work: Hayward. So, heart-of-bay-ish locale. Do you collaborate with other local would-be-producers? I 'got much to learn. And, it'd be awesome to meet folks who love their minis, and their music! hahaha

 

Here's my new car! 'Kinda dark, but you get the idea...She's an '06, looking brand new in the '12.

 

'yahoo! i'm replying to my post again! this is so much fun.

 

Clean looking Mini! I just left the Bay Area today, might be back after a while...

Keep up with your music and your Mini and they will both reward you in the end.

 

Nice.... Enjoy every minute.

Welcome to NAM!!

BRG is the best colour!

Congrats! Beautiful ride. Enjoy!

 

Another MINI owner/music producer here. I built a studio in what used to be the garage and so had to build a little car port when I bought the MINI! I'm running a Pro Tools HD3 Accel rig. Full time gig for me. Bands, artists, film/TV composing, production, programming, mixing, etc. Not too far from you guys... just across the state on the way up to Tahoe. Auburn (Last In-N-Out before the snow).

Old pic of the studio:

 

Wow! Awesome setup. My studio is NOTHING like that. Mine's a hodge podge of stuff. Functional, yes. Hodge podge, extreme yes. Perhaps MINI/music enthusiasts can get together and make music or something! haha Motor on my friend!

 

Nice setup! Lava Lamp is cool too!

 

I love that lava lamp up there^^

 

Oh yes, no studio is complete without a lava lamp.

 

nice ride. I'm in the SF bay area as well. SF/Mill Valley. Got my 03 MCS about a month ago

 

Hi and welcome to NAM!
I don't know why, but I can not see your pic, but an 06 Mini is arguably their best year gen 1.
Congrats on your buy!
