Guten Tag Auf Deutschland
Hello NAM,
I recently came across this site after obtaining a 2002 Mini Cooper S. While I'm rather new to the Mini scene, I've been a Subaru fanatic in a previous life.
A little about myself. I'm American, living in German serving our currently broke Government in the Air Force. I grew up in Charlotte NC where I graduated college. Upon arrival in Germany, I bought a 1999 BMW M-5 to putt around in. While a great car, it was impossible to park in my Garage (circa 1908) and got horrible gas milage. My wife and I own a 2006 Acura TL which drinks nearly 1/3 of our gas ration here, and the BMW wasn't cutting it. I test drove a Mini listed on a local classified site in June and liked the car, but still wasnt sold on the Product. 2 weeks ago the seller called and asked me for a favor. The favor was simple: register the car in your name so i can get my new car (here in Germany service members can only have 3 cars). I payed him $1,000 USD and i drove home. Here are the specs
2002 MCS dark silver
188K on the chassis, 20k on the new JCW motor.
JCW exhaust
A really ugly sub
A really ugly headliner
New Clutch and tires
Winter wheels
Snowboard/Bike roof racks
I'm still new to the MINI scene, and I'd like some insight on what intercooler and exhaust I have. Dont worry the headliner will be replaced VERY VERY soon.
