Back in a Mini after 6 years - Hi from Pennsylvania

My first Mini was a 2008 Cooper S. I loved that car, but sold it in 2014 when we needed a new mini-van for hauling our dogs.

Well, the dogs are gone, sadly, so I wanted to ditch the daily driver van and get back into a Mini. I prefer the 2nd Gen, so I centered my search on 2010-2013 R56 with manual transmission. Found a nice one in Northern Maryland and picked it up a couple of weeks ago. Chili Red 2013 Cooper S. Because it's not brand new, I feel more free to look for upgrades and modifications to enhance the car and give me some fun projects. Suggestions are appreciated

Don​​​​​​​

Hey Don, I think you can squeeze a few chihuahuas in there. Nothing makes a bigger difference on the looks than a set of nice rims, go for it!

Welcome to the forum. Nice looking MINI. What part of Pennsylvania? Poconos? (My guess based on the trees.) I am in southern York.
