New Mini Owner (2006 S)

Hi everyone! My wife and I picked up a 2006 Mini Cooper S (auto) with 74000 miles on the clock for her daily driving. First Mini she or I have ever owned and so far we are loving it!

We have already competed in an autocross with it, and were very impressed! It is so much fun to drive. Wheels/tires, brake pads, and brake fluid are first up on the mod list

Glad to be part of the Mini world

Welcome to NAM.

I see no picture and thinking that you are using Photobucket that blocks other websites.

Thanks for the heads up fellas! I haven't used photobucket in forever, so didn't know that happened.

Pic added to original post.

Look great... and wife went with you too!
Two important aspects of ownership:
You must use full synthetic oil and you must use premium fuel all the time!

Welcome to NAM and congratulations! Brake upgrades and a rear sway bar are the best first mods. Let me know if you need any help or want advice on what to go with (I also track one of my vehicles).
