New from the Carolinas

Hey all! My name is Chris, and I'm new here. I'm theproud owner of a 2003 cooper named "Baby Groot." She's been tastefully modified so far and the engine was rebuilt. Currently planning on working on the aesthetics! Well, hope to learn a lot here!

Thanks everyone! Having only owned an r56 prior, I must say that I love the supercharged r53. Very fun past few months!

Saw that last night while poking around here, it is too late to change our current weekend plans though. We've been numerous times in our Miata and will definitely baptize the Mini there at some point. Maybe in 2018.
