I'm the proud new owner of an '09 Chili Red hatchback - red body & red roof. His name is Hamish, the Ruddy Scot! Please add me to the list.

 

Just bought a chili red 2009 JCW. Is the number 2009 taken?

Hi all.

 

I got my 2009 all Chili Red MINI Cooper S a month ago and I LOVE it!!!! Can I please join?

Wow! That's the reddest of the red. You get extra points! Congrats!

 

Thanks!!! I love the red so much I figure I'd go pure. I was a little nervous when I ordered but did the happy dance at the dealer when I first saw it.

 

A zillion apologies for dropping off the planet for a bit

Work & life have been cray-zee lately

I added everyone & gave the requested numbers that were requested. Please let me know if I misspelled anyone or goofed anything up elsewhere

 

Hi, just purchased a Chili Red MC40 (kind of goes with out saying - the color that is). Seems like a good group to be with. 60K, a couple of things in need of repair - will get to them - got the car for my wife - may have to arm wrestle her to see who gets to drive it! Really enjoying the car, fun ride.

 

[QUOTE- got the car for my wife ]-

I'd say you probably made a good trade..

Ok.. I couldn't resist.. You will love it!

Now to get it the way YOU want it!

How do you join the CROC

 

All I did was ask in this thread. Then a few days later bamatt added me to the list which is the first post in this thread. If you don't request a specific number you will fall in somewhere after #487. I didn't request a specific number and that's where I'm at. And Welcome!!

 

I can not see the list of all users - add me in as number 500

 

I never requested to join. Might as well do that now. Please add me to the CROC.

 

I have to say yours is the slickest MINI I've seen. I've also got a 2009 JCW, but it's a hearse in comparison! I really like the tracks on the rear window.

 

PS To those who haven't tried it, I recommend taking a driving course on a track. I did it in my '06 Cooper S at Mid-Ohio. My instructor, who is in his early 60's and has raced all kinds of equipment, loved the MINI, which he had never driven before, and was amazed at its cornering power. "Horsepower ain't worth S*IT!" was one memorable quote, as he put a couple of car lengths between the MINI and some following Audi S4's in the corners.

These courses are not about acting macho behind the wheel. They're about smoothness, finesse and focus. Look up as you drive, so you can see what's ahead, a few seconds up the road at speed. Know how quickly you can slow down so you can brake at the appropriate place. Learn the lines so that you can be kind to the chassis as you go.

You will come away appreciating that MINIs really are serious road cars.

(Caveat on the track. If you see a long wheelbase W12 Audi A8 coming up on you on the straight like a freight train, get out of the way!!!!!)

hey, thanks.
I really like how my JCW is coming along. I just got the wheels this week. JCW sport suspension is coming June or so, and I will do the JCW aero later this year. I have to keep this for a while so my wife can get a new car (BMW 135i) when the JCW is paid, so I have approval to mod so I'm can be happy with it.

And a definite +1 on doing a tracking school. It's the only way to fly.

 

500 was just requested & taken recently. I gave you 0500. Let me know if you would rather have something else

 

That will be Confusing
- how about 1944

 

I am new to the CR club. Is 514 taken? --Stacy

 

done

 

Note to RaceTripper -- Can you tell us where to get the track decals? My brother wants one of Mid-Ohio for his A4. Thanks!

Mid Ohio is listed under North East US

 

Have an MC40 and would like to join the CROC also - no number preference - thanks

 

Ordered a CROC decal and MOTD Dragon Slayer decal because it's red. Tanks tons for the link bamatt.
