Hi, my name is Josh and I’m from Portland, Oregon. I’m not only new to the forum but new to Mini ownership. I decided to jump in with the purchase of an 06’ MCS and so far I’m loving it. I’ve been on here nonstop gleaning information for the past month and thought I’d formally introduce myself.

Thanks in advance for helping me with all my noob questions. Hopefully someday I’ll be able to help out someone else on here, but until then, thanks.

 

Welcome ! What were you driving prior and what made you choose the mini. I am sure you will love the ride, albeit with a few occasional things to address.

 

Welcome, like those old white hollies.

 

I drive a Dodge RAM, but not that often. I’ve always had my eye on a Mini since they were relaunched back in 02’. My friends neighbor used to restore original minis from the 80’s and 90’s and seeing all those really set the hook.

The supercharged version that I have now is a blast and it’s perfect for people like me who want a sports car without spending sports car money.

 

.Welcome to the forum

 

yeah. I like the white wheel look for some reason. They’re especially a more comfortable ride than the 17” neuspeed wheels I had on. Yes, the 17” were “racey” and stuck to the pavement, but every pebble was rough. And if anyone has driven in Portland you’ll know the roads are crap. New coil overs are on the list.
