Hi all, just joined NAM and also on Mini2.com

Good site, just got MCSa 05 HB/W Chilli with sunroof, web spoke [new mini model], chrono pack, chrome interior, union jack mirror covers, bonnet stripes, sheep skin covers, iPod aux, Eibach Prop Springs etc

Order stuffed up by dealer was initially a manual, but got $8500 of extras as the stock controller changed during production without advising salemans. Overall happy so far with Auto as using the paddle shift constantly, much more fun than manual and better in traffic.

Anyway a brief intro into Nike61

 

Gday Nike. Welcome to NAM.
Good to see Aussies on here. There aren't too many of us posting on here, and I don't remember seeing any other Perth posters.
That's a real nice looking MINI.

 

Welcome to NAM. Nice car. Thanks for posting a photo. Good to communicate with folks from faraway places.

I have a friend in Perth, but it is so far from the USA I can't imagine visiting there. I know it's beautiful and has all manner of good life (even good local wines). Fortunately my friend is a doctor and researcher so he gets to attend medical conventions in my town. So we are not completely out of touch--no thanks to me.

Happy motoring.

 

Mork, right now you can book a flight from LA to Sydney on Qantas.com for under $900, and add on domestic flights for a good price. If you want to go, now is a good time.

 

Welcome aboard my friend!!! Very sporty looking MINI you have there. Great to see you found us - stick around - great place and lots of good info.

G'day Nike

I made a few trips across the pond to Perth for work last year. I really enjoyed it. I have changed jobs since so I probably won't be heading out that way for a while. Unfortunately, I did not make it down to Margaret River on any of the trips. If you get a chance, drink some of the Fermoy Estates Cabernet for me. I cannot get it here.
