Howdy!!!

Hello Catastrophe,
Our records indicate that you have never posted to our site before! Why not make your first post today by saying hello to the community using the 1st Gear forum. Posting is easy and will get you off and motoring with North America's largest and most active MINI community!
Well, hello mini cooper community

My name is Eric, I have been motoring since June in my 02 BRG NA Mini, and love every second. I have been lurking here since Aug 2005, but never posted (mostly because my original username would never be verified, oh well)

I share this beast with my brother and he got it for this semster, and I will be taking care of it for next semster (then he graduates and I may be keeping it, we shall see if I get my own or not)

I dont plan to go proformance on this car a whole lot, maybe just a GIAC and exhaust, maybe. But Ive really never messed with anything newer than a 1991 VW, so Id like to go more style oriented. Smoke the head lights, change over to the newer tailights and add the fog light, lower it a bit, and change up the interior a bit. We shall see how it all plays out.

You guys have been much help with your posts so Id like to say thank you first off. Secondly, I want to post a couple of pictures for all ya to enjoy.

Keep Motoring

~Eric

Haha, wow, what a responce!!

KPMINI - Thank you, I like it as well, and I am going to trim my interior with it as well

everytimeidie027 - Ha, yeah. Im thinking of doing something a little bit different with it, the white is staying, it is just going to be "transformed"

ChrisW - I like it when people are friendly, and I was quoting everyone else here too

Motor On - I am in South Easter Pennsylvania near Valley Forge. However, I live at school in Williamsport Pennsylvania. Are there any GTGs in either of these areas?
And no, my name is just a name. Its a long story.

Hey there Catastrophe,

I used to live near you in Berwyn where my first car to mess with was a '62 Beetle. I changed out wheels and tires along with fenders, exhaust, Hurst shifter and Weber carb. Great fun! I had that engine out several times on a skateboard. I never really played with another car as much until I got my first MINI.

Have fun with your MC. That's what it's all about.

Welcome to NAM!

John

Hello John

Yes, I am coming from VWs as well. I own a 1991 VW fox (its unique and I like it, it has a 2 liter high compression swap with cam, intake, full exhaust, and MegaSquirt stand alone)

I always like being a picture *****

While she was getting her swap, I dont have any (good) pictures on hand of completion

Castastrophe - That is a good idea about the interior. Check out my gallery I have a few pictures in there of mine. Welcome to the BRG Owners Club.
