MINI is now my life. :)

Hey everybody just wanted to drop a quick hello.

I just recieved a B-E-A-utiful 04 DS/B MCS with goodies (previously owned so I'm not sure of the exact specifications -- all I can say is it has a custom grill, LOUD muffler, and some lovely HK speakers) for a surprise birthday present. Yeah, I know, it rocked. After days of uncontrollable shaking and sweating I am able and willing to take the obession to heart.

I am a new MINI driver and I know very little about it's online resources and communties (this one seems suitable ). Are there any good sites where I can learn more about aftermarket parts and technicalities of my MCS?

I will upload some photos soon, I must say it's pretty fresh. Hope to talk to everybody soon.

-Drew

Welcome to NAM, Drewbb, and to all things MINI. Good luck regaining your sense of composure...I must say I still haven't fully recovered after four years of motoring bliss.

Wow, what a nice present! It sounds like your pre-owned MINI already has some mods. You will find lots of good information on all types of mods on these forums...just becareful...before you know it you've been online for hours, forgot to sleep and will have maxed out your credit card on all kinds of mods!

Welcome to NAM!

Yeah, you're there. This is it. The one. The place.

Take your shoes off, stay a while. There's plenty to read and learn here.

Welcome Brewbb!

I think you will find this site quite helpful, with more than enough mischief to go around.
Mini-ing is quite a new way of life....I just had mine in it's first snow this mornin in Philly...they are such a hoot to drive, but...you'll see!

You should consider going to the Dragon...see posts and threads elsewhere on the NAM site.
It's a place with 11 miles with 318 turns...the given prey of all minis...WHEEEEE!
