Greetings from Austria

hello fellows,
My Name's Markus and I'm from Graz, Austria in the middle of europe. I have to apologize for my bad english.
To be honest I don't own a Mini but something similar. A Peugeot 207 RC (GTI in UK)
The MCS and the 207 RC share their heart. My RC also has the EP6DTS.
I hope I can find nice people, who can help me and who I can help.
Here are two pictures of my car:

I like that roofline, the red graphics, and the red wheels! You are in my wife's birthplace! Nice to meet you, Markus! Are you building the Countryman MINIs?

Thanks for posting, USA folks don't get to see these cars often.

We do see them occasionally on BBC's "Top Gear" and the like, but Citroen and Peugeot haven't been sold here for...quite a while.

Nice car!

The Lion's Path looks like a FUN drive! I want a road like that in Iowa (amid the corn fields I hear the family resemblance in your exhaust, your Peugeot being a cousin of my MINI

Welcome Markus. I'm diggin' the 207 you've got there. No, I don't think Peugeot is sold over here, nor Renault or many of the other European car companies. Unfortunately, PSA and MINI may not be as related in the upcoming 3rd gen MINI in 2014.
