Just got my 2011 Mini Cooper S last week. Great car, traded my 2008 Cayman in for it because I needed something more practical yet still fun to drive. The car is black on black but if based on my user name, will be getting some gold accents. I've always loved that livery.

 

You traded a Cayman for a MCS? I think you're suffering from a Houston heatstroke.

Congrats and enjoy!

 

LOL, we've had the coldest winter I can ever remember...I like warm weather. No, I'm not crazy, just going through some life changes and the Mini suited my needs better for the time being. Definitely plan on another P-car in the next few years.

 

Welcome! Lets see some pictures.

 

John Player....nice handle

 

Pretty much a blank canvas.




And inspiration of things to come.

 

Welcome, looks good.

 

^^^Nicely done JP, welcome and enjoy NAM!...

 

Welcome to NAM, JohnPlayer and congrats on a fantastic looking MINI. Thanks for the pics also. We just love pics here at NAM. What's on the mods agenda? Happy motoring and please don't forget to promote the MINI wave.

 

Since I like doing HPDEs, wheels/tires and suspension are first on my list but basically I want to make it go faster. Doing my research to see which way I want to go in regards to mods.

 

I had a model JPS Lotus F1 car when I was a kid... Good times!

Welcome, can't wait to see what you do. Some nice gold OZs or Sparcos, a bit of gold pinstriping, I can see it now...

 

Exactly what I have in mind.
