So excited to be posting this as I am a brand new Mini owner as of Saturday June 30. I have been looking at Mini's for a long time and built many different ones online. Decided last week it was time to purchase a new car and honestly didn't give a Mini much thought. I was looking through car dealer websites looking at their used inventories and seeing what was out there. Saw a couple MCS around. Figured I could look at them if I got the chance but didn't know if it was the practical thing for me to do. Saturday morning my wife found a Chili Red MCS at a dealer real close to us. We decided to go look at it and as soon as I got in the driver seat I was hooked! After that we decided to buy it, mind you we had not planned on purchasing that day. That afternoon I drove home in my very own 2007 Mini Cooper S in Chili Red with a white top, white bonnet stripes and the UJ on the side mirrors. It also has a red on black leather interior. Here are some pictures of it.





A little about me. I am married with two kids. This year is my wife and I's 15th year of marriage. I am a full time youth pastor and love every minute of it. Our other car is a 2007 Honda Accord and I own a 2007 Honda Shadow 750 motorcycle.

I am looking forward to becoming part of the Mini community and making this Mini my own. Thanks for checking this out.

 

Nice looking R56! Have any plans on mods, either performance or aesthetic?

Congrats and welcome to NAM!

 

Thinking about saving for some wheels. Those are 16" and I would like to go at least 17". Don't know yet much more than that. Figure I will see a lot of options on here! lol.

 

Lots of great wheel options in 17s. White wheels would look great on your MINI!

 

Congratulations!
That a great looking car.
I love the red color line interior.
Happy Motoring!

 

Nice looking ride and welcome to the community.

 

Welcome! That's a truly gorgeous ride; love the seats and the jacks. Enjoy every moment you're inside (and looking at it from the outside, haha). Motor on!

 

Thanks for the welcome!

 

Welcome and congrats. Chili Red MCS Minis are the best :-) Your Mini is fantastic. Love the interior seats too. Enjoy

 

Sharp MINI! That red color line looks GREAT with Chili Red exterior.

 

Thanks! Only had it a few days but it is the most fun car I have ever driven. Already starting to think of things I can do to it.

 

I'm ready to take the plunge very soon.

 

Love. It.

Congratulations!

Awaiting delivery of my own chili red w/ UJ mirror caps MCS (convertible).

Happy motoring!
