New Irish Green MCS now on the road in Colorado

Picked up my mini on Saturday in Denver. White top, 16" bridgespoke, lsd, dsc, black cloth seats, xenons, rear fogs. So modestly equipped but very very nice. I live two miles out on dirt roads so the 16" wheels to give me a little more forgiveness on the bumps (and 100miles from Denver). Bonus - 38.5 mpg on the first tank. Now to get rid of the runflats - Kumho Ecsta ASX's here I come (had them on my 1983 BMW 533i) - great tire.

Yes - Irish Green

No self-respecting person of Irish decent (my ancestor arrived in 1776) would buy a "British" racing green mini. Besides, my salesman was from England and it is good to get a jab in when you can.

Welcome to NAM! You're going to fit right in with that kind of humor!!! I finish my aunt in Denver every 2 years and I'm due to go out this year, maybe we'll zoom past each other!!

Welcome to NAM and your Irish Green Mini!!! The best thing you ever do is get rid of the R/Fs. I had Dunlops and they were noisey and hard riding.
