Hello, everyone! I just purchased a used 2012 Mini Cooper S on Thursday and found this forum soon after. I'm excited to be a part of the Mini family! Currently, I work full-time as an EMT and go to school full-time studying biology. I also own a 2008 FJ Cruiser that I have sunk countless hours and dollars into modifying. I told myself I would keep the Mini stock, but I said the same thing about the FJ, so...

Anyways, here is my Mini out on my first drive:



And here is the FJ (the original money pit in my life):



I look forward to getting to know you all!

 

Welcome... I am also from New Mexico, Albuquerque area. Happy motoring

 

Welcome, Nice picture

 

Great photos !


My brother used to live by Sandia Peak in Tijeras, beautiful place when the weather is nice.


Meanwhile I was living in Portales NM for a few years- flat, windy and dusty :-(

 

Welcome! I'm in Questa, just south of the Co. line.

 

Beautiful area

 

Beautiful car and pix. Welcome to NAM and the world of MINI motoring. Please ask if you have any questions, we've been working with these for over 40 years on the street and track. Looks like a great find.

Do you have service records by any chance? You can check our site for free service, maintenance and upgrade guides and articles.

Drive Hard. Drive Safe. Keep Grinning.

 

Hi Andy, I'm also from Albuquerque. Congrats on a great car!

Sandia, the Mini/BMW dealership has a Cars and Coffee on the third Saturday of each month. BTW Alex, one of the BMW Geniuses is an FJ fan and has one. I usually go to the C and C, not sure which car you'll find me in. One of the two in the signature, or a 93 Black 325is or a 93 Red Miata.

Enjoy the Mini!
