Finally own an MCS

I've been looking locally for my first Mini and as of today I am the proud owner of an '03 BRG/BLK MCS. This particular Mini is a little rough but I was looking for a car that was in need of some TLC lots of service. It runs and drives great, the A/C is cold and the tires look almost new. I will post pictures soon.

That sounds great, Swifty. Congrats on your purchase and welcome to NAM! You have years of miles and grins ahead of you. I love the BRG. How many miles and what's your first order of repair/maintenance? We have lots of guides and tech articles on our website to help you each step of the way. Just ask if we can help in any way.

Drive Hard. Drive Safe. Keep Grinning.

Only had 52044 when I got it mounts, bushings looked great and all the boots were intact. No checked undercarriage no oil, rust. Some dings and wheel rash. Came with K&N typhoon CAI. Loving it so far.

I completely understand, I look forward to tinkering with my car every day. I have a couple different lists of things to order from our vendors. I too am a happy camper, just wish that I was a rich happy camper and then I could go ahead and order everything on my lists. All in good time I'm afraid.
