First Mini
I have been browsing this forum for a while now due to me buying my first mini, it is a 2003 R53 BB 6 speed with 83,000 miles. Looking at building it as a fun cruiser for the winding roads of the Black Hills.

Welcome to NAM.

A Mini on a winding/twistie road is like peanut butter on jelly.

Welcome.


Ohhh Black... I would add some Red Trim/Pinstrips and dress it up like what was referred by Renault as a Black Beauty

But no matter what, I'm sure you will enjoy it.


Great looking car.


Motor On!
