After years of wanting a Mini it happened. Found a really very clean 2011 Mini S Hardtop with just 10,000 miles. Looks runs and drives great. At time goes on I hope I can get pointers and advice. Maybe even be able to help others as I learn. Thanks in advance dannyboy.

 

Welcome aboard Danny. We like to see pics to prove you own one. LOL. Good luck and motor on.

 

Welcome! What he ^^^ said. Pictures or its a lie!

 

Welcome!! Have fun, you're never gonna want to stop driving!!

 

Thanks everyone! Pics are on my profile in Album. Or I could just be telling a big one lol. And your correct I love to drive again!

 

Very nice, lots of potential there.

 

All potential will be going to performance and handling. The understated basic black look is very pleasing to me. No need for graphics or tricked out exterior extras.

 

welcome buddy! i'm not an official member (car is built but in transit) but my first thoughts for mods were the JCW tuning kit. i'm getting a 2013 Cooper S Coupe and want that to be my first perf mod.

congrats again!

 

Welcome - now its time to make it your own ... let the mods begin )

 

Biggest mod first and foremost is learning to drive lol. Going from 4 wheel drive pickups most of my life to the Mini is just a bit of a change. I tend to over steer be a little heavy on the throttle and I am always in awe by the responsiveness of the car. Love my Mini but there is a learning curve to its abilities.

 

Welcome and learning to drive a 2600lb understearing front wheel drive rocket is an excellent start. Afterwards, you might want to consider some of my performance (for the most part) mods:
