Hello from England

Hey everyone. I usually post on MINI2, but I figured I should sign up here and see what's going on!

I'm from the UK, have been driving a MINI One but recently bought myself a Cooper S Works which is in the bodyshop at the moment having some mods done. Should be picking it up next week... so excited! I feel like a first time owner again!

Guess I'll see you all around.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!

Annette - I'm from sunny Lancashire.

Cody - I post with the same username on M2, I think we've crossed paths a couple of times already, on the dechroming thread and a couple of others? I recognise your signature!

Mostly cosmetic stuff - colour coded trim, new wheels, aero skirts, stuff like that. Also having the JCW brakes fitted, Eibach springs, Alta CAI and a couple of other smaller mods, like the gear shift indicator from JCW.

And it's actually a bigger jump than that - more like 120bhp! The MINI One is 90bhp and the Cooper S Works is 210bhp!
