New owner of an R53 in CT

Hey everyone! My name is Josh, I live in CT and have just acquired an 06 S in hyper blue. I can not get enough of this car!

Hope to have many talks and discussions with you all!

I do have a question, but I will put it in a more appropriate thread in the technical forum.

Hey Josh, welcome to the NAM. Like you, I can't enough of my car and find any excuse to take it out for a ride. Lots of great information here and I still find something I didn't know. I participate in some great MINI runs; about 2-3 a month. I'm in Trumbull, where are you?

Looking forward to the pictures. Checkout British by the Sea on June 7. Sponsored by the CT MG Car Club, I plan to be there with my MINI.

Cheers

I heard about British by the Sea on Facebook, just didn't know if it was just MGs or not. I will definitely try to be there!

Welcome to a great community. I loved my R53 very much and I'm sure you'll have a great deal of fun with yours as well. Check out http://www.minisontop.org
up in New Hampshire. It looks like it will be a great deal of fun.

Enjoy your new to you R53.

I will be sure to check them out, mrluckypa.

I love the rims, they seem to just complete the car. Only issue is that one of them is out of round and I need to find a good rim repair place in CT.
