I picked up a 2007 Mini Cooper S with the dealer installed JCW tuning kit. I wanted something fun and fast but really didn't expect to enjoy this car so much. I really hate getting to where I am going because I have to get out of her. I've driven a 1976 Bronco for the past 18 years, so all these options are crazy. The Bronco has heat, lights and an ignition, that's about it. It will now be a take out for fun rig. Still love it. I am a wrench turner so after I get to know the Cooper I will do some mods. I am looking forward to gleaning knowledge from all of you.

 

Here is a picture of my Bronco. Many years of hard work into it. Labor of love.

 

Congrats on the Mini and welcome to the family! The classic Bronco is pretty sweet as well!

 

Welcome to NAM and congrats on your new MINI. Talk about switching it up. I hope you enjoy all the new creature comforts your MINI has to offer. Very nice of you to provide pics in your first post, or we would have taunted you until a few appeared. We love pics here at NAM, so when you start those mods, don't forget the pics. Happy motoring and don't forget to promote the MINI wave. Don't get discouraged if other MINI drivers don't wave back, just keep on waving.

 

Thanks for the warm welcomes. I am waving at every MINI I see. I'm used to waving at every classic Bronco but they don't wave at me in the MINI.
