Hello Everyone,
I'm from Atlanta, and I found my Mini onboard the Independence II last week. I was lucky enough to find an '08 MCS that fit all my needs, well at least what I could afford anyway.
Looking forward to the future...driving my Mini.

Hi everybody,
I'm from a small town in the far southern reaches of Ohio called Wheelersburg. I have an '03 MCS DS. I've had it since August of last year and since then I've had some minor troubles with it, but thankfully I found this place and have found out everything I have ever needed to know.
Also, I haven't been into the whole aftermarket modification stuff, but I've seen some pretty sweet MINI's on here and I fear I may have caught the mod fever.

Hello Everyone!
I'm from Toronto, Ontario, CANADA and waiting for my Mini Cooper S purchased in March 2008 to arrive.
I hope to be able to make as positive a contribution with my experiences as the more senior members and contributors.

Hi Everyone! I'm from Chicago and I don't have a Mini (yet) but its become my new obsession. I currently have a Pontiac Grand Am that will be 5 years old this July. I've been planning on trading it in this summer but I have a bad/good feeling its going to happen sooner! 
I am in love with the oxygen blue mini with the white roof, white stripes, sunroof, and the added chrome grill/side mirrors. I've "built" my car online, lurked on here, and visited my local dealer......I've done basically everything except the actual test drive (and I'm hoping to get that in this week).
Thanks for a great board! I've already gotten some questions answered and gathered some helpful hints!!

Hi, I'm in Chicago. I have a Pure Silver 03 Mini, black roof. Next week I am having the roof and side mirrors painted with black leopard spots. I am doing the Milwaukee Mile on May 4th and it will be fun to show it off. I am hoping to find advice on iPods and Mini's. I need an adaptor. Thanks!

Still lookin for winnie!!
I guess ya got me beat, still lookin for my Winnie! You are no doubt a teacher too who raised everyone's kids and yours and missed the fun tooNot sure how to reply but oh well!! carhunter55
Well you better go ahead and get ready to order another one or never get to drive the one YOU ordered. 
For years I talked about MINIs and my wife (of 28 years) told me whatever you want is fine. Let me explain. In 28 years, 3 kids, 2 houses, vacations, etc. I've purchased 14 motorcycle/cars/trucks for wife and kids and driven basically the hand me down car from her. (believe it or not the motorcycle was for her)
When "Winnie" was purchased my wife fell in love for the second time. She still likes her Yukon XL but "Winnie" has her heart. We take her everywhere, people stare, ask us to stop so they can take a closer look, walk around her "topless" like they want to buy her.
My wife is already talking about a second MINI in our garage.

Hi ya'll,
Waiting for my Pepper White Clubman S - ordered 3/25/08. Just went to scheduled for production on the owners lounge. At first I put alot of extras in design then got a look at pricing from my stealership - did not realize they would mark up over website price (alot). Removed all stealer installed extras except mud flaps. I'll customize it myself.
My clubman s - PW, checkered cloth seats, black top, 16" bridge spoke wheels, sunroof, automatic, std. checkered dash.

Just saying "Hello"
Hello to all,
Awaiting delivery of my CR/W MCS...
Prior to my purchase I had tons of questions and concerns so I spent a lot of time hovering and learning on NAM so I'd also like to say thanks!
I'll be waving at you on the street.
Cheers,
Chris
