Hello from Florida

Hello from the Sunshine (ok the Hurricane) State.

My name is Michael, and I am now the proud owner of a 2004 MCS. Racing Green and just too much fun. I just wish I could get it over to Germany and really just cut loose with it.

Anyhow I just wanted to introduce myself and say Hello!

Aloha and welcome to NAM. Great to hear from you.

Hey and Andrew needs to be at least 4 to drive Stewie so tell him to get a driver's permit first.

Well, I'm still pretty new to Mini ownership,and the car is 2 years old, so I'm al little lost on what packages it has, ect, but it has the standard MCS engine, 6 speed stick, HK radio with single CD, Sunroof, GPS, and I know there are several upgrades right down to the optional cup holder by the radio (which I am not sure I really like, but hey it came with the car, so what the heck.)

Well I have to give Snooter credit here too. He was the one who gave my wife the idea. I'm still trying to figure out how on earth You owning a Mini came up in that meeting (she can't remember right off hand.)

When you own a Mini, it seems to alway find its way into any converstion.

For example: Stranger stops you for directions to the expressway. I off course will give them to him and tell him its about a 15 min. drive, but then say, if you had a Mini, like me, I would take the alternate 20 min. route cause it has more twisties!!!
