Hi everyone, I just recently bought a (new to me) 2012 Mini Cooper Hatchback non turbo. it had 12,058 miles on it and since then just hit 20,000 this morning as I drive a lot. This is my first Mini and I love it!!!! I happy to be apart of the community and any advice or guidance on what to do to the car and all that is greatly appreciated as I'm looking to mod it a little.

 

Welcome to the forums - you'll find plenty of helpful advice here.

But I do have to ask...former/current RX-7 owner?

 

Thanks for the welcoming , @ljmiii , I was a former owner of 2 sexy RX-7 BEASTS lol, I had a an 88 2nd gen and a 97 3rd gen.

 

Nice! My very first car was a 1981 RX-7....loved that thing.

 

Yes I loved these cars, this was my dream car, idk what it was but I fell on love with the rotary engine, now I'm in a mini and its a big change for me lol.

 

Come to May 19th East of the Bay BAM Monthly Dinner Social Meeting. Genghis Grill restaurant Brandon. Starts at 6:30. Usually have 10 to 20 cars show up.

 

@ronin1 awesome thanks for the invite hopefully I can make it out, been looking for a mini meet.

Welcome and congrats! I wish I was in FL more but I'm stationed overseas and will be for the next few years. I've been looking for a Mini group to learn and motor with.

 

Congrats and welcome, nice low miles for a 2012. Don't forget to post up some pics of your new MINI.

 

Thank you everyone for the warm welcoming's I will work on putting up some pics soon, is there a special place to upload them to? like a different thread or something? sorry for the noob question I'm new to the forums.

 

No problem, you can attach them go advanced tab then hit the little picture icon ( yellow box ) and link the address or fr an attachment hit the paperclip icon then load it from your computer.

 

Hey guys as of right now these are the only pics I have on my phone, I will take more later and share them with you. hope these are ok for now

 

Found another one on my phone in a different folder, I will take more later.
