Just bought a 2011 S in PA... My 45th car, and my new favorite.

Yep, around 45 if my numbers are right. I'm 27... It's a disease. Anyway, great freaking car. I've driven everything from Jeeps, to all kinds of Acuras including the NSX, corvettes, mustangs, miatas etc etc etc, and it may be the new car smell affecting my judgement but this little car is pretty kick ***. Hopefully it lasts me a long time, I'm not gonna lie, I'm a bit sketchy on the reliability but I take good care of my vehicles (my beater 2001 sentra has 310,000 miles on it) Look forward to checking this board out and maybe a few of these mini rally things.

Shameless plug: I have cystic fibrosis and I powerlift.

Heres a picture

I'm still trying to get past 45 cars at age 27. Anyhow, congratulations on the MINI and on powerlifting with CF.

Congratulations on the MINI... and I thought I buy new cars too often (maybe once every 4 years... and when I'm over 50 that is a lot of vehicles), but I'm sure I totaled them all up it would not be close to your total.

Thank you! I was thinking black was the color I wanted but this color actually grew on me and I'm liking it more

My goodness! I'm only 25, and my MINI is only my 3rd car! Granted, I didn't get my first car until I was 20...lol

I love the color combo though. I am pretty darn sure that the MINI probably will top all the other cars you've ever had

There are many threads on this as well as websites to check for CAIs. Use the handy dandy search feature in the right hand corner.

Haha I know, I am just busting your chops.

I would help but to be completely honest, I don't know much about second Gen MINI intakes...only first gen.

But really, there is some great information on here.

The scoop on second gen MINIs are essentially useless and just for show. Stuff like that makes them functional.

hmmm great question. I presume yes/no. Normal rain probably wouldn't effect it but heavy rain might. I don't know how it is designed. Could always just call M7 and ask.
