Ciao from Italy...

Hello!
My name is Matteo and I'm writing from Italy.I work as a copilot on a Boeing 737-800 for an Italian carrier based in Milan-Malpensa airport.
I've got a Laser Blue/black roof Cooper S r56...Really beautiful!!
I've found this forum thanks to another Italian member(Ichy).
This Forum seems to be very active and interesting!


Up here there is my MINI... With the bonnets just added today

P.S I love USA and the beautiful landscapes you have...One of my dreams is a coast to coast travel!

Is that parked in your garage or your kitchen? In any event, nice MINI!

Hello Maverick! Beautiful car, I love the Laser Blue/Blk combination. When you come to the US for your coast to coast trip make sure you're driving a MINI

Welcome to NAM Matteo!!! When you make that trip across the United States let every one at NAM know and you'll probably be able to stay with NAM members all across this wonderful country. We look forward to hearing from you.

Do you think there is a chance to rent a Mini for my trip when I will be able to do my trip?
It would be a very funny trip with a Mini! Unfortunately it won't be mine i think...too expensive to take it with me

Thank you very much and yours is a very good advice...Anyway when I finally will be in the States every NAM member will be informed and I hope I will have a lot of advices on where to go and perhaps meet some members and their Minis...

My MINI is Laser Blue...In this case it was just waxed! Very beautiful in my opinion and a very beautiful color in the flesh;sometimes not so similar to what somebody expect in the photos...
