Hello everyone



Hi, I'm new here.
Not a mini owner yet, but soon.
Planning to jump from '05 S40 to MCS. Highly appreciate any input.
Great to be here, really nice community.

Hi

Hey, I have family in Silver Springs MD. I was there back in August and I only saw one Mini on I95 . If you're planning to order one, the wait is not that bad. Tell us the specs.

Welcome to NAM. I had an S80 before, nice car when running and not in the shop More problems than you would believe. I'm now in an 03 MCS since April 03, over 72,000 miles, and would not trade my MINI for ANY other car.

Hi guys,

Finally, I switched..I switched, no more Volvo.
And my Mini has arrived. I've pick her up this afternoon.

Royal Gray / 7 interior, a little chromium here and there. Sports, premium & winter package. Some additional goodies plus the JCW intake .

I will try to have her pictures this weekend.

hey maxicooper,
it was a tough choice for us between the dark silver and royal gray. seeing that picture makes me think... maybe we should have gone royal gray? we love the dark silver but your royal gray looks awesome. now all you have to do is survive the break-in! we still have 700 miles left. wish my commute was longer...
happy motoring!
