Howdy all,

Just came across this forum and all I can say is wow! I recently bought an 05 MCS (Ordered Aug 04 picked up Oct 04). Dark Silver with black top and bonnet stripes. I have all 3 packages and as an after thought have added chrome line exterrior myself albeit it was at a piecemeal rate. I have also put in several interior lighting mods to include underdash cold cathodes and light- up cup holder and shift boot rings. I miss the opportuinity to join a motoring club as I am in the USAF stationed in Germany. I have looked around for a club but they are few and far between. Plus my German isn't very good, but I only have about 7 more months till i move back to the states.

I bit the bullet after riding in my dealer's JCW Race MCS on the Nurburgring and am having the JCW kit installed in mine on the 15th of December. I am leaving for X-mas leave vacation on the 16th and won't be back until January, so I am very excited about coming back and motoring in my JCW MCS.

Happy Holidays To All,
Guy

 

... Welcome and I'm glad to hear from ya! Now you bought your MCS in Germany? Awesome and you rode in a Race prep MCS at Nurburgring? Even Better! Thanks for protecting our freedoms as I know they are not free. Hope for a safe return and Happy Holidays.

 

Yes, bought mine through a military car sales dealer so it is US spec not EU spec.

 

Welcome to NAM, Guy! And thanks for your service to our country, I sure appreciate it...

I'm PMing you about contacting German MINI folks.

That's a much better test drive than the one I got.

Welcome to NAM. :smile:

 

Guy,

Welcome to NAM and thanks for being there for us.

Also, what everyone else said.

If you need anything from the states let me know!

Earl

 

Thanks to all for the warm welcome!

 

K Town, know it well, spent several years over there in the AF. I was stationed at Soesterberg, NL from 1987-1991 then Spangdahlem till 1994. We always came dome to Ramstein and Vogelweigh to the "Land of the Big BX". What branch of service are you with? I'm retired now and miss the fests and friendly people of the small towns in those ares. If you need anything don't hesitate to ask any of us. never know might need something from you someday. Stay safe and thanks for protecting out freedom

 

True Blue...USAF! This is my second tour here at Ramstein. I was here from 1994 to 1997 as well.

 

Guy - welcome aboard my friend! You've found the right place for information and lots of great people...

Thanks for serving for our country and may you return to the US safe and sound...:smile: :smile:

Chow!

Donna

 

Thanks Donna!

 

Your gonna love your JCW car. I have one and it is a blast! Not as fast as some of those Air Force ponies you ride but it ain't bad!

Come home safe.

 

I don't do much riding but I sure do alot of fixin'

we have a saying in maintenance:

"It takes a College degree to break them and a High school degree to fix em'!"

 

Guysdaman,

Gute Morgan.
Aloha from Hawaii and welcome to NAM.
That is a wonderful expression and so fitting, especially in germany.
