Hi folks from a new mini owner from the caribbean.

 

What up everybody..Just joined .

 

Hi Everyone..

Just joined today... recently moved here from Pa... was a member of Philly Mini... I have a 2008 Mini and absolutely love it, especially driving it from Pa to Las Vegas which is where I currently reside... I look forward to getting to know everyone...

Happy Motoring

 

Hi All. Great to find a forum like this. Just picked up my first MCS (2005) after brooding over the idea for a couple of years... mine came up at a local dealership here in Wisconsin and I couldn't resist... winter wheelset and all. I look forward to finding some great info!
Cheers

 

Good for you Sure you will love it. Welcome to NAM

 

Just joined..

My wife drives an 09 CJW droptop and I just order an 10 CJW coupe. I got the coupe because I was simply amazed with how my wife's Mini drove.

 

Hey everyone, I bought myself a 2004 cooper S for Xmas. looks Like I got some catching up to do with all the great mods!

 

Hello everyone. I just went to the Mini dealer last week in Columbus, OH, and traded in an old Lexus and a BMW on a new MCS. I love my new little car, and I have already travelled long distance in it. It looks like I have great opportunity to customize the car. I look forward to exploring my options.

 

I also posted a separate thread, but I just found this site. I traded in my 00 Ford Ranger for my 06 MCS chili red. Love it!!!! Will have pics soon

 

Hi Byrddog151 Found your post

 

Confession time - I first NAM'ed back in 2005 when I bought my 2005 Pepper White S. My enthusiasm never faulted and only an impulsive trade to a 2004 JCW S could seperate us. Now I'm like a kid in a lolly store all over again! My only problem is keeping the Jet Black paintwork "cool" as we swelter thru summer here in NZ.
And so I'm pleased to say I'm NAM'ing once more

 

Hello All!

Just bought an '03 MINI 'S' and boy is it FUN to drive!
Might someone direct me to the proper forum with regard to this question:

At around 22 degrees Fahrenheit and below the transmission/linkage/shifter is frozen solid and will not come out of gear and into neutral prior to starting the engine. The engine will start however I must hold the clutch in about five minutes until the engine warms up and then the shifter will slowly allow me to pull the transmission out of first and into neutral. After engine is warm the car shifts normally.

Any suggestions as to what might be wrong?

Thanks!

Hi CJRedMini,

I was browsing Technical Service Bulletins on the older MINIs and i noticed that your problem is covered by a TSB. I think that means a free repair.

Hello to all, I signed up a couple days ago and have been researching the Mini for a while now especially in NAM. My fiancée and I are looking into getting a Camden MCS sometime this year to replace her '02 Civic. We are really excited to get the car, we already went to take a test drive and all, but we want to wait a bit before we order to make sure we get the new engine.
Happy Motoring everyone!!

 

Hello,

My wife and I purchased our 09 Cooper S spring of last year. I can't say I had ever thought of buying one but my wife thought they were cute which got me into the dealership and the acceleration of the S sold me. So far the experience has been a blast. I hope it stays that way!

Thanks for the reply dimosk!
I'll attempt to locate the TSB area on this site
or elsewhere. Thanks again.
Best,
CJRedMini

 

On here to say hello. I have owned an '03 MCS for 3 months. Loving it though. Hoping to learn more through here.

 

Hello all! Just took delivery on a 2009 Clubman. The car is awesome but i do need to learn a lot more about it.

Regards,

Larry

 

just found this site and glad i did. seems like lots of cool folks here and i guess im the new guy lol. been in love with Minis since they came out but just now had the chance to get one. bought one a couple of days ago, it's used but still very nice. 03 JCW with 47k dark grey with the white top. just got my windows tinted yesterday and bout to put some rims on it. i will post pictures of it soon. glad to be here though. i saw someone mention their from the Cincy area, would love to meet and have a nice sunday drive or something with a bunch of minis.

 

Question: I've ordered a new vanity plate for my Mini and would like to change my username to reflect it. Is there a way to do that without having to re-register?

Also, how the heck to I get sweet pictures reflecting my Mini (displaying color, model, accessories) like all you veterans have?

 

Looks like I answered my own question... I was able to put in my Mini pic with my signature and finally read the "welcome to NAM" message I've had sitting in my mailbox for 6 months. Silly me

 

Nice!....looks like my chili red with sport stripes haha. I want the rally lights...they look good on yours...congrats

 

Sounds like a day in my life. Welcome to the wide world of NAM and MINIs.

 

Thanks! I am happy to be here

 

Hi All,

Very interested in Minis, on a budget, looking for an S with a stick that needs body or engine work; a green one ideally =) I'm in the Ventura CA area. I've heard that '05 & '06 are the best years to get, would appreciate any info or advice anyone could give. =)

Thanks,
