Woot!

Sold my car Wednesday, also took a spy trip up to my Mini dealer to see if my new HB/B MCS showed up off the truck, it did, so I took delivery on Thursday. Man I am in love with this thing and I can't wait until it's broken in a bit.

I will miss my old car, at least for a while :(, but the Mini makes it all good :D.

Anyways, my first post and I'd like to say these forums here seem to be devoid of the usual crap you see on other car forums and it looks like a pretty good site.

Welcome to NAM and congrats on your new MCS

as far as "these forms being devoid of the usual crap..." just stick around. Sometimes I read a post and then someone jumps on the person that said "in my opinion I think..." and it goes from there. Just read the post "does anyone else park like this".

Seriously, 99.743 % of the posts here are great.

Homer is actually Confucius, reincarnated ...

Welcome aboard Hyper!!!Blue!!!, and do hurry up and get to 1250 miles. May your dashboard never rattle, and may all your roads be TWISTY!

Posting pictures here is EASY (subtle hint that) :smile:. Curious to know your specs too.

Have fun and don't cell and drive,
Tatt

I find most posts to be helpful, some, well ya just write them off.
The thing I found to keep the site fresh, is check in daily, post your concerns, post your ideas about helping others.
And if ya need a hug, check out off-topic, we talk about everything there

Yes I can. I read that 74.665% of all percentages are made up on the spot.

Ha yeah, pics will be coming shortly after I get a good wash and wax in :smile:.

Specs are as follows:

Sport Package w/S-Lites
Black Bonnet Stripes
LSD
Convenience
Cold-Weather
Chrono Gauges
6-Speed
Sun Roof

If anyone knows of some black wheels with polished lips that would be cool too, thinking about getting some 17" or 18" ASA AR-1's or something similar which I think would just go great with the blue/black roof..

Double posted when I thought there was something wrong with my browser, it took forever for my posts to show up.
