New Mini Owner(s)

Hi all! My girlfriend and I recently found the joys of Mini ownership as of recently.

She has a 2013 Eclipse Grey S Hardtop, and I just recently picked up a 2014 Lightning Blue Metallic S Coupe. Neither have any mods currently, but we're definitely in the planning phase (OK, she's teetering on the "pulling the trigger" phase at this point ). No pictures of either, currently - with the weather changing every five minutes here in Oklahoma, we haven't been able to keep them clean for more than a day or two, let alone get a decent photoshoot knocked out.

This is a new pursuit for me, as I have predominately been wrapped up in "New Edge" ('99 - '04) Mustangs for the majority of the time that I've had my license (had a '00 V6 and '99 Cobra). I was more than sold on the interior of the Mini, but once I drove hers, I found it to be a "best of both worlds" option for me - enough power on tap to have a little fun when I wanted to, and impressive gas mileage to boot (which was also a huge plus, having been spoiled by DDing a Cruze Eco).

In any case, I thought I'd say hi, and that I'm looking forward to learning more about these cars, as well as getting to know some folks around here!

Welcome to the MINIacs!

Careful, when the MOD bug bites... it causes an itch that you start to enjoy scratching.

Motor on!
