Hello!!

Hello everyone!

I've had my '08 MCS for a few months now and I'm seriously loving it.

This is my first Mini ever, coming from a Saab 95 Aero, and they've taken my family by storm. Not long after getting mine, my boyfriend purchased a 2009 Clubman S, and a few months after that my mom most recently purchased a 2013 Countryman S All4!

I haven't done a whole lot yet, but so far I've added the factory PDC kit, rear fog lights, F56 style projector headlights from ECS, yellow fog light bulbs, HIDs, all-weather floor mats (a 'must have' in Oregon), strut tower defenders (another 'must-have' in Oregon) and I've had the resonator cut out. I have a laundry list of other things to do to it eventually, but so far I absolutely love this little thing. Such a blast to drive.

Welcome.

Awesome, thanks for orders. I have the spyder head lights also on my R58 and love them. https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...-boy-blue.html





Had a Saab 900 Turbo convertible also in the past. The R56 looks great, I also had yellow fogs on my old R56 also.

Made the pic a bit bigger for you.

Congrats on your MINI, what a beauty, and welcome from another fellow Oregonian. With our roads I couldn't agree more about the strut defenders.

You should think about joining us when we head down to Mini Mania for the annual Nevada City Adventure. This year it is June 24.

Any questions, please ask! We've been doing this over 40 years now.

Drive Hard. Drive Safe. Keep Grinning.
