At least that's what DC means to me now. Being that I pass at least 10 coopers a day on my way to work. Well, to get the introductions out of the way 2010 MCS Laurel Edition Cabrio.



Not really a newb to the forum, been trolling for quite some time for mods...came from two STis and an EVO. The mini was a great fit for my needs of flying under the radar, which was getting tougher by the day with my other vehicles. Spent a summer in Florida driving a exotic convertible...so i had to have one when I got back, but it had to handle like it's on rails to give me the same thrill. Soooo a couple of offers online and i ended up with this beauty. Of course averaging 30mpg sealed the deal for me as a DD as well. Any how looking forward to meet other members at local meets or on the mean streets of DC.

 

Welcome to NAM & congrats on your MINI! The Laurel Edition is a nice car - a member of the local club here has one - very very sharp! I also like the stance you have going there. Did you lower it or was it the prior owner? I'd like to drop mine so I have similar wheel gap to what yours does (or appears to) in the back.

Motor On!

 

Thanks Fridayxiii, installed Fortune 500 coilovers a couple of weeks back. Didn't want to slam it due to clearance issues with TSW X Brace, plus, wanted better handling...although there are two schools of thought on that topic.

 

Welcome to the craziness of MINI madness! Your modding with continue and never stop like me haha. Enjoy that beauty of a ride, looks great!

Welcome to the NAMily 4cylTCurve grats on getting your MINI!

Save the Wave and Motor On!

 

Welcome! I commute from the Vienna Metro to DC. I often sit outside the Starbucks at 7th and Indiana Avenue, NW, with an espresso and a cigar most weekdays. I see quite a few MINIs go by. Should you ever take that route, I surely won't miss your standout MINI in traffic!

 

Tampadave, I usually take constitution to Union Station...but one of these days..

 

Are you thinking of joining DC Metro MINIS (DCMM)?

 

Welcome! Loving on the TSW X Brace!!!

 

Tampadave, joined their FB group I already am part of so many forums, hard to keep track. But yeh....I will consider joining.

 

I thought about it too. You pay for a partial membership through the end of December. Then you pay full price in January for 2014. My '14 S Roadster arrives from England the first week of October, so I'm not too sure how much value there is in a partial membership. We are buying a beach house in Florida next summer, which limits my availability for local events after June. Still, I may join for the 2014 membership year. I don't use Facebook, so I've limited my exposure to their regular website. Seems like a decent group of MINI owners.
