Hey guys,
Just would like to introduce myself here since I can quickly see myself getting into this board a lot. My names Kirin and I'm a 2nd year University student from Canada. I work for a car restoration business and am a "certified" car guy. In my stable is a 2003 Ford Ranger edge, 1975 bmw 2002, and a 1962 beetle. All are not so stock any more. I've wanted a Mini for a looong time(since they first came out) and now I can finally make this dream happen. I just have to sell or trade my truck in for a 2003 MCS... pretty stoked and hoping to make this happen soon. Anyways hope to get to know you all better in the future.

Good luck in your transaction in obtaining your MINI. Once you get it, you'll never want to drive anything else. Keep us posted on NAM.

 

Welcome. I am sure it will be worth the sacrifice.

Motor On!

 

I always wanted one since introduction.
Welcome. Restore any '48 Chevy pickups?

 

Hey guys,
Just sure its just a matter of time. Really no loss I hate the truck and never use it as an actual truck any more. If i need to haul anything I have my moms 2005 Passat TDI wagon. As for the resto business we do mostly old BMW's and anything old and Euro. I'm personally restoring a 1930's model A cabriolet. Should be bone stock. Yeah I have to say of all the new cars that I have driven(New GTI, New volvo V50, Jetta 1.8t) The Mini feels the most classic and most like my 2002. Which I do think is one of the best cars ever built

FYI: The first month I had my MCS, I attended performance driving school. During a couple of hot laps I was pushing two BMW 2002s, prepped no less! I was looking on the inside wanting to pass.

 

My mini will be my daily.My 2002 will be my dads daily(He puts on less miles which is better for the car) I just need something that I can drive and if it breaks well going to the dealer. Plus is fun! Anyways My 2002 will still be my driving school car. Heres a pic from a course I took in the fall. Can you say power slide?

 

looks like fun!

welcome.
