Hi everyone,
I am glad I joined NAM. I am a member of SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA MINI MANIACS. We do lot's of fun group activities together. I actually came upon this site when I was searching for Minis in the mountain. It appears that the event is already sold out. Can I still participate on my own?

Hello to All,

Bought a used 2003 MCS a week ago Friday I was looking for a second car that would be fun and easy on gas when inspiration struck. Get a Mini. We don't have any dealers here in Maine so I went shopping the used car lots. Didn't take that long to find one and it is just too much fun to drive. Can't wait to try it out on the white stuff. Had a little taste last week but it was melted before I could really give it a good test.

 

Welcome to the addiction Stay away from the mods

 

Only mods I'm doing are snow tires and am considering a different shift ****. The stock **** feels like a tennis ball to me.

 

Just joined yesterday...will hope to become a frequent visitor to the site!

Cheers,
Matt.

 

Welcome to NAM Matt. Happy motoring!

 

I have been a long time admirer of the MINIs, but didn't think I would ever get to own one with a husband measuring in at just over 6'8"! To my surprise and excitement - he fit just fine (at least in the front seats!). So my dream to own a MINI was fufilled on 11/12/07 with BumbleBee (the kids named it after BumbleBee in The Transfomers!). I love my MINI! It's by far the most fun to drive of any car I've ever owned. I can't imagine ever NOT owning one now!

I was happy to have stumbled upon this site so I can learn more about MINIs and the great fellowship MINI owners seem to have. Within the first week of owning it, I was sitting in traffic when another MINI passed me heading down an off ramp and beeped/waved. Nissan owners didn't do that when I was driving my Nissan! What a great comraderie!!!

Happy to be amongst fellow MINI owners!

Hi!
My name's Mel, I live in SW Montana, and I got my Nigel in August in Denver. I've put 4100 miles on the odometer so far.
He's a laser blue 2007 Cooper S with bells & whistles.
I've wanted a MINI since I saw the Italian Job a few years ago. When I graduated from college and realized I needed a reliable vehicle (other than my scooter) and I'd always wanted a MINI...well, I talked my husband into getting my dream car with me.
Anyway, I'm always looking for tips & tricks, so I thought I'd join this board as well as the OL.

Hi Aris!

If you look in the menu on this page (towards the top on the left side), you'll see User CP. Click on that and then on the next screen, click on Edit Signature. You can add your signature, pictures, etc. there.

Hope that helps!
Jess

 

Greetings, everyone!

I ordered my 08 MCS yesterday. ASK MINI said my production date is 12/12, which puts me in week 50.

I look forward to meeting everyone!

 

I have been benefiting from the posts for a couple of months, so I thought I would make it official by posting myself.
I have a 2007 White on white cooper S,
the ol lady has a 2005 Cooper Convertible - Hot Orange

thanks for all the info!!!

 

Welcome Lamcc83 and ualwoody to NAM!!! Happy motoring to both of you!

 

Welcome to NAM, Aris! And to all the other newbies, here is a cool link to find a fun version of your MINI for your signature line, and here is one of badges! And here's a link to the Gallery FAQs for questions about posting pix and managing your own gallery here onsite. Have fun!

 

Thanks Alot MINIclo

 

Glad to see you got something going in your new siggie! I see you need to tweak it a bit, but it takes a little experimentation to get it just right! Good start! You can use the Test Forum as you work on your sig and/or practice posting pix.

Edit: I see you edited -- good job, Aris!

 

Speaking of Minis, for newbies to Minis, there should be a book called "Minis For Dummies" Lol

 

I'm a long time reader and just recently joined this awesome community. This is my 13th car (don't worry, 13 is my lucky number) and I have to say that I can't see myself ever selling it. I absolutely LOVE this car...and all MINIs, for that matter. I am a full "blown" addict (pun fully intended) to the thrill that this car gives me. I tell people that it's as close to a motorcycle with doors as you can get. Honestly, I haven't ridden my motorcycle much recently for that very reason...I think my MINI, a.k.a. "Ludwig" is more fun...and QUICKER!!!

 

okay then!!!! I feel much better now.

 

Hi,

I'm MiniAL and together with my wife we just ordered an '08 CS. I decided after all these years of driving it was time to get something different and after test-driving the S 3 times I knew I was hooked. So no more plain vanilla cars; now MiniAL can't wait, nor can my wife.

 

just starting to network w/other mini enthusiast, great to see something this resourseful exists.

 

Hi Everyone

I'm Matt and i'm from the UK. I've just taken delivery of my R56 S after having an R50 Cooper for 18 months.

The R56 really is quite some car!

I was pointed to here by Mini Me GB to look at the amazing photos of your cars on here and i've also met some members at United 2007!
