Newbie from NC/Project Mini

Hello everyone! My name is Adam and I recently just purchased my 1st Mini, 2006 Cooper S with 70,000 miles! Come from a family of Mini owners as my Dad and Mom had several Mini Cooper S. Glad to be here!

Here she is!

Thanks! And good looking car! Chili Red was a must for me, I looked for a nice low mileage one for about 3 months before finding this one which was ironically only 20 miles away from my house!
