Hello all, CHRIS COOPER here from South Bend, Indiana (north central, 1.5 hours east of Chicago). Yes my last name really is cooper, I bought my 2003 DS/W MCS in June ‘06, impulse buy! And I don’t think the honeymoon phase will ever go away. I LOVE MY CAR. Sorry, that slips out a lot. I joined the Northwestern Indiana MINI club for my first drive - AWESOME TIME!! Met a great group of people I hope to keep in contact with, and look forward to more drives. My car was the most boring out of the group, no strips, or decals... but in time I will have a hot rod also.

Motor On….

 

Nice color and a good base to start, do you happen to be a relative to John Cooper . if you are, please send me some JCW seats

again...welcome

 

Definitely a great car. Glad you're having fun with it. Welcome to NAM. Is it your daily drive? BTW, I like the red S in your signature, I'm gonna do dat too.

 

yeah, daily drive. love the looks i get too. Sexy little cars, and not too many of them in South Bend just yet. i stole the red S idea from someone else on here, but i'm sure they wont mind. question, how and where do you get the color club things, i see alot of them on here.

 

Your name is Cooper and you waited how long for a MINI?! Seriously, welcome to NAM and don't expect that Honeymoon phase to go away. If it does, do a mod! That always puts the spice back into the relationship, and the MINI never says no. Try that with a significant other! ("um, honey, could you try on these bonnet stripes? Well, then, could I hook this CAI up to you?") :-)

 

Welcome aboard Glad to have you here..and by the way...NO MINI is boring.... Happy Motoring!!

Donna

 

Welcome to NAM, cgcooper01!!! Don't worry, we say that all the time here, too!!!

 

Welcome to NAM, Chris! Glad you found us and a big congrats on your '03 MCS! I have an all-Jet Black 2003 MCS. I plan on keeping her forever! I love her as much, if not more, than the day I took delivery, April 4, 2003. Of course, I have added "spice" to the relationship with the following MINI seasonings: K&N Typhoon CAI Kit, 15% Alta Pulley, Denzo Irridium plugs, Unichip, Milltek Exhaust, and an HR Compound Rear Sway bar... Very tasty MINI!

 

[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]I had a since-able wife that wouldn’t “let” me get one. So I, and this is going to sound bad no matter how I say it, had to get rid of the wife so I could get my MINI!!! sorry that's not really funny is it? I collected 9 models in the meantime but finally have my full size MINI. It was my first big purchase as a re-singled man. along with my big screen TV and home theater system.[/SIZE][/FONT]
