Hello from Ohio

Hi guys and girls,
I have a couple posts in the week 4 support group, but I might as well introduce myself. After drooling over the new MINI since it came out and I was a poor college student, my 2006 Cooper S is finally on order. I've been playing with/working on/autocrossing Triumphs for the past 15 years (well, ok, only driving them for the past 8 or 9 years....) , I really like the whole British car scene, the MINI was the perfect choice for me as a fun daily driver, this was blatantly obvious to me as soon as I hit the road on my first test drive at Classic MINI. My car is (will be....):
MCS 6 speed
BRG/W with Union Jack roof flag
Sport Package (minus bonnet stripes)
Cold Weather Package
Convenience Package
LSD
Chrono Package
Rear Fog
MFSW
Auto A/C

From reading around here at NAM, it looks like this is a good community of enthusiasts and a very good resource. I'm really looking forward to MINI ownership.

Jason

I am not sure i would trust these people Jason , I had my MINI less than a week and was going to drive to INDY to get a pulley installed. To bad i didnt have someone to ride with or i would had made the 6 hour round trip for MLK day.

If your close to powell, you can drive mine to help the wait..

Jason,
Welcome to NAM from another Buckeye (although now transplanted to sunny Florida). We've driven Miami-Mini (as in the REAL Miami in Oxford) back home twice and enjoyed both drives. Must be why I have 21K on her and she's just a little over 1 year old.
I've learned a lot from the different posts and enjoy reading a lot of different things.

Welcome.

Howdy and welcome to the madness from Avon (Ohio). During the summer you'll find my MINI sitting with the big dogs at the Cruise In at Avon Commons. People really dig it that it's blown and small and fast and fun and...well you know what I mean.

Thanks for all of the warm welcomes!!! With my car actually in production now, the excitement builds. One of the things I love about the old British cars is the way everyone gives a little wave or thumbs up when you see another out on the road, sounds like we have the same thing with MINIs...awesome!!!!

Jason
