Hello from Southern Utah!

Hi there! My name is April and I'm the proud new owner of a Pepper White 2006 Mini Cooper S Convertible, whose name is Coco (short for Coconut). Just got my title in the mail yesterday! I'm super excited because I've wanted this exact car for years. She's even better than I imagined! After only owning her for two weeks, and even though I'm having to replace the struts and cv axle😬, I still love her and I'm pretty sure I'm hooked on Minis! I think it's really awesome how there is so much support in the "Cooper Club" and I love being a part of something so huge!😄

April and Coco, welcome to NAM! The Gen1 forum has answers to probably any question you might have. Hope you have many years of motoring in Coco.

Welcome and Congrats

If you're needing an axle make sure they are putting in an original MINI axle and not an aftermarket one. The aftermarket ones are usually much cheaper, but not very reliable.
