New to the Big Mini World

Hello all, my name is Greg. Today marks my first 2 weeks with my new little guy. Things have been fun so far but having to do a little overlooked maintenance. I'm located down in Alabama and see quite a few Mini's riding around although I'm not sure how many are enthusiast.

2006 R53 Hatch dubbed MiniHero...I'll add a picture later.

I know a little about that car He has been a customer for 6+ years.

It was well cared for and I think he misses it a little, but loves the GP which we just put cruise control in.

I'm still in the process of making my own subtle changes, to make him reflect me a tad more.

That's all thanks to Rick and the original owner. For now I'm not changing much other than wheel studs, spacers, and trying to acquire a rear strut bar. Possibly delete a few stickers.
