Except I haven't posted much on here (this is my 6th I think)

Anyways, I have an '04 PS/B MCS that I've modded to high heaven.

Got 17K+ miles on it since April '04.

Hope to find lots of technically sound enthusiasts here who enjoy working on their cars........

I can't claim 'technically sound' by any means but I think I meet the enthusiast qualification. What mods have you done to your baby? We purhcased an 02 recently and have 17,000 miles on it, we've done minor things such as bonnet stripes and rally light but are always interested in what others are doing to theirs to give us ideas of how to spend more money on our new "child"

Thanks all for the warm welcome.


Here's a somewhat recent pic.....

Though it doesn't have the Cooper (non-S) black sidemarker grilles, nor the smoke wheel arch lenses, nor the new bulbs in the front.......
