Hello all! I will be the proud owner of a 2004 S pw/pw this coming Friday (man, this is going to be a long week). I have never considered Mini before because I didn't think I could fit (6ft tall). I went to the dealer and saw a silver/black S on the lot and took it for a test drive. Now I know what all of the hype is about! Not only can I get very comfortable (even though no one will be able to sit behind me other than a toddler), the car is MUCH quicker than I thought. Even the ride is not as harsh as i thought with the runflats. I sure wish it was Friday....

 

Post some photos when you get your MCS. I was in San Antonio the first year I had mine, good times ripping down the roads in the Hill Country. I'm 6'3 and fit with room to spare.

 

Oh I plan on it, and I will be cruising the Hill Country that same day!

 

Hello all!

I've been stalking the site for weeks now, composing my car, which I just ordered yesterday! Thanks to you all I kept haunting my MA with, "I need to see, touch, feel," every option I thought of choosing. I feel I was able to make very informed decisions and well thought out build. And I'm glad I took my time pouring over all the posts, because I changed my mind on quite a few items and even big ones like color! So now just left to wait, obsess over my car, sell my current car and hope all goes well!

Hi all,

I am a new NAM guy. I have been using this site to do research as I plan to order 2010 Cooper S in the spring and finding out how vast the MINI community is out there.
I am looking forward to learning about options, which ones are really worth it an which ones are better to diy. Such as, how do the driving light dealer add really work and are Hella's and aftermarket bracket mounts better?

 

Hey guys, just picked up my 2010 Chili Red JCW Hardtop on Halloween. It's amazing, I love driving it, however first day I picked it up I ended up getting a flat! Go figure, that's just my luck, a huge razor punctured the rear right tire, but luckily I was able to get it plugged and fixed the same day. What are your thoughts on plugging run-flats? Anyways, I love the car, my friends love it, I notice co-workers staring...it's a great feeling haha, plus I drove this girl home today from work, and she was very impressed haha.

 

Hi all,
We bought our 2006 dark silver MCS at Northwest Mini 2 weeks ago today, what a change, this car is soo fun and fast, can't wait to make it faster and more fun. I have lurked for awhile, reading posts to re-confirm that the MINI was everything I thought it was before we bought one, thanks for all the posts about the good and what to look for, for all the models and years. it really helped. Will be looking for info about winter and all season tires for the up coming rainy season.

So now i am gonna explore the whole forum as i got a whole lot stuff to learn.

Just got the car 2006 S convertable 4875 miles on the odometer. I see it but still don't believe it. How can anyone own a car this much fun and drive it less than 5000 miles in three years

 

Incredible! And I thought I got a good deal with my 2007 with only 12,685 miles! Congratulations on such a good find. Let's see some pictures

 

I dont Understand that either I put on 1000 km/pw the first month I got my 05 r53.

Hello everyone! I recently traded in my 2008 Chevy Silverado for a 2010 Dark Silver MCS and I must say from the first moment I drove my MINI, I said to myself, "This is going to be a start of a beautiful relationship..."

Glad to be here, I really enjoy the site!

 

Hello everyone. I was sort of looking for a new car, something fun and good on gas and I discovered the mini clubman. I went and test drove one last Saturday and its in my garage tonight!!! Its a 2010 Clubman S Hot Chocolate/Silver and It is the most fun I think I have ever had on 4 wheels!!! My friends have been looking at me oddly for the last week (I traded in a Chevy truck) but 2 of them got a ride tonight and were amazed by this incredible car. I hope to learn a lot from my fellow mini drivers.

 

Hello and Happy Holidays.
We are thinking of getting a Mini Clubman. Want to learn all we can about them as we were introduced to them at Car Show in Phoenix, live in Casa Grande, AZ.
Thanks, Pilot John and co-pilot Linda

 

Hi guys. I've been reading and using the DIY section for some time now. Time to say hello

Driving a modded '02 Cooper S

 

I just recently bought a 2005 MCS in British Racing Green with 23,000 miles. Thus my screename. Alot of options, I'll save that for when my camera is charged. I can honestly say that this is all around, the enjoyable car to drive. No car has ever made me smile everytime I walk out to the driveway. I have already installed a Gen2 Alta Intake, and 15% pulley is on its way!

I am also from the NW Suburbs of Chicago, so if anyone knows of some Mini groups, feel free to send me any info!
