Howdy, New Member here

Aloha Everyone,

Names AyAyRon(Aaron) and i'm the proud owner of a new to me 2006 R50 Mini Cooper with 41,000 miles on it.

This is my second car with the first being a 2004 Toyota Celica that I was sad to see go, but it was time for a change after 12 years and 175,000 miles.

I'm excited to work on my new Mini to make it mine. First project was a rack so that I could put my Kayak on top and hit the water. Second was to replace the headliner as it was starting to fall.(man that was tedious)

Next project is to install cold air intake to improve gas mileage and a little more response. Got an extended warranty with the car, so that's going to have to wait just a bit.

i'm looking forward to talking with y'all!
