New to the Mini World!

Hey, all.
Was a former Subaru enthusiast, but switched to the Mini! Incredible autos I must say. Had a Scion Box in between, but that is not of much relevance...
Thank you to all who provide to this forum of a plethora of Mini mods, support, and customization. If you need anything from me sometime in the future, feel free to give me a shout out.

Well they say bad publicity is better than No publicity. I suppose its a good thing I am still here, lol. I only have a few random pics, but none the less enjoy.

The first is a game I play at Lifetime with a friend. It is called VIP Park. Lifetime gym is nearly impossible to find a good parking spot. If you have accomplished that feat for the day, you snap a shot and send it. I am not sure why it uploaded sideways.

The Second is a photo of one of my favorite people on this planet. Her incredible parking. Sasha has a small cameo on the left.

The Third is of my roomate's job on sasha after less than a week of owning her. Quite comical.

Sorry for the thread infringe Braminator. I hope you enjoy the photos!

Welcome to NAM. I guess it's pointless to mention pics anymore. Nice to have you with us.

Thanks. Glad to be a part of this fine organization.
I'm not too sure how long it takes to get photo posts approved, but feel free to check the random 3 photos I uploaded in my Garage.

Nothing comes up in the garage. You should try uploading your pictures to photobucket or flicker then you can just add the link. It's a lot easier that way than trying to upload straight to NAM. Also, welcome and congrats on your mini.

Sounds like we have similar auto histories. I've been through an '05 Scion xB, and still have an '06 Saab 9-2x. Welcome!

Miniflip, if it were up to me, you post whenever you feel like it. It is just the Braminazi that I was trying to save you from!!!

Nah, it is all in fun.........congrats on your switch to Mini. Me? I have only had mine for a couple of months after being w/VW for past 13 yrs. Look forward to 'hanging out'!!!

Have a GREAT week!!!

Hah, what made you finalize the mini?!? It was between the Mini and a Gti in the end. You have a great day this week as well. I plan to paint my chrome trim if the weather clears up!

I loved my Jetta TDI & was a great car for 13 yrs 262,000+ miles but was ready for something new for work. The Mini's were the only cars that 'turned my head' (if that makes sense). I always have had cool cars & this is one awesome car!!! That said, I am almost wishing I had not gotten it for work so giving serious thought to selling/trading my other vehicle for work which is yet another great car. Kind-a-of torn as to what want to do. No matter how old I get, I am still going to have a fun, cool car!!!

Definitely.........I still don't know crap about my car. Spent too much time socializing at MOTD instead of learning about all the features on my Mini.
