Since my wife has been voraciously browsing your forum for the last few weeks since purchasing her MINI, I will help her out and make the first post. She is kind of shy about these things and needs some nudging occasionally...lol

With that, she has dubbed the car 'Gerty'.
2007 MCS, 6spd, Laser Blue, 35k miles.



The modding has already begun...but that is for another day and another thread.

 

Welcome aboard and Congrats to you and your wife. Very nice color. Good luck

 

Welcome! I'm new (and reading voraciously), as well

 

Welcome! Laser Blue is one of my favorite colors. Where in the PNW are you?

 

Thanks for the welcome, everyone! I've been looking forward to being here for a loooonnnggg time.

Jacquesew: I am in the upper portion near Mount Vernon, WA.

 

Modding.... fun but expensive. Welcome!!!!

 

Too true...The lo/fi system has been completely retrofitted to H/K already. Hubby found all the parts at a local wrecker. IPOD interface is installed and scheduled for reflash tomorrow.

LEDs have been installed...dome/maps/reverse/license plate. The BMW LED panels were used for under the doors/footwells/and boot. Hubby also installed a second panel on the RH side of the boot so it has much better light now. Got some pics of that! Fog and city lights were changed to PIAA Xtreme white bulbs to match the OE xenon color. I think he has some of the chrome/amber bulbs coming for the turn signals too.

Tires were changed to a 215/45/17 NONRF a couple days ago...ride is SOOOO much better. We need an all season tire up here in WA. and much more choices this way.

Looking at some performance mods, but those will have to wait just a little while. Need to get the creature comforts addressed first!
