GP0650 Checking In!

Hello all! I was able to get my hands on a GP a few weeks ago and traded my Acura TSX for it... I absolutely love her and wake up every day wanting to go motoring.

The only things I'm looking to change in the stock stereo system (I swapped the headunit last night for a Pioneer DEH-7800MP - the difference is amazing) and the speakers as well as getting the windows tinted...not too dark though.

I'm looking forward to some fun in the forums...

Congratulation! I am sure you will have much more fun with your Mini than the TSX, especially the GP version .

Enjoy and welcome to NAM!
Happy motoring.

Welcome - the GeePee's are a special car...post pics when you can. The stereo is something I will upgrade soon as well - its not getting used much now though since I'm more into the music that the GP sings on its own.

Hey paulieparker.......

Congrats. on your great find! I know you will love your GP as we all do. I'm new to the forum as well and have nothing but great things to say about the members of NAM for helping make my ownership so much fun.

I have to say that the MINI and GP Special Interest Forums, have opened up a new dimension for me, something that I never knew existed before. I bet you have a ton of questions to ask and I know you will find everything you ever wanted to know about the Mini , right here!

I look forward to logging on everyday, to learn and share with other Mini owners something about the cars we are so passionate about!

The beauty of the MINI is that, we are free to tastefully enhance our cars to our own individual personalities!
With all the very cool accessories we have to choose from, it becomes addictive.

You will enjoy the forum and the all the members who make it happen!
Welcome and have "FUN"!!
