New to NAM

Hi Everyone! I'm new to NAM, but not to MINI. I originally owned an '03 PS/B Cooper, but it got in an accident. I drove something else for a bit until I could afford just what I wanted. I just took delivery last week of my '06 Dark Silver Cooper S with the Silver roof and Silver U-stripe. Woo Hoo! Some upgrades so far include Premium, Sport, and Convenience packs. I also have the English Panther black leather, saddle bags, web spokes, and driving lights with the bluish bulbs that match the xenon headlamps. My first "mod" was removing the factory cup holder from the right dash post.

It's nice to be back in the gang. My fiancee Krys and her kids are officially converted. I'll be bugging those of you in the DSOC and SROC for admission soon, and trying to solve the avatar and signature functions. Thanks for having me. It's a great site.

-Ian

Welcome.

Is Reptile House just a name, or do you work at a zoo, or something?

Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone. I am a photographer/art teacher, so I will try to get some interesting photos up soon. In the meantime, I posted a couple of views from the dealership that my step-daughter took when we picked it up. BTW, 'reptilehouse' is just a reference to my favorite band - The Sisters of Mercy. I've used it as a user i.d. for years. Oh, I forgot to mention the iPod hookup as another upgrade I added. Hopefully Krys will take the hint and get me an iPod for Christmas.
