New guy from philly, 2006 Checkmate S :)

Hello and good evening everyone! My name is Corey, and I am from Doylestown PA. Recently just purchased a BEAUTIFUL 2006 MINI Cooper S Checkmate Edition with 76k from some wonderful people out in the Reading area. I'm in love with this car. My history is mostly in Volvos, I owned a 1998 Volvo S70 T5 for about 7 years. I'm into the performance aspect quite a bit. At the time of its selling(which ended up going to another MINI owner as well) the Volvo had 170k on it. I was ready for something new. so... I hereby introduce Charles.


My old car (long list of mods) and new car:



good god i miss her

Beautiful Volvo. I almost ended up in an S60R before I found the deal I found on my Mini.

Welcome! Great looking Checkmate.

I'm from Flemington, NJ, not too far from Doylestown.

Keep an eye in the NJ owners forum section on here in March. I'll be leading a drive in the area that will go to Dilly's Corner which is about 10 minutes north of New Hope.
