I live in Clear Lake. With the number of MINI's i see, I'd expect more to be on here :/

I'm in Friendswood. Hope to be picking up my R56 in 2 weeks...:)

Very nice. I had contemplated getting a brand new MCS but, no matter how hard i tried, I couldn't justify spending that much money on a FWD DD. :no:

Hello everyone, rookie owner of a '13 MCS. Still in a state of buyer's remorse :)

Hello all. New owner here from The Woodlands. I bought a Countryman earlier in the year which I have been enjoying but I added a '13 JCW to the garage when the dealership made an offer to could not refuse. I hope to see everyone at the at the next club meeting.

Here's a 50/50 to show the actual before and after comparison:

This car is all red. I plan to paint the roof black, apply some matte black accents and a black set of 18" wheels. Power plant will get a smaller supercharger pulley, cold air intake and exhaust. Some carbon bits and wrap on the interior then a few advertising bits properly placed on the exterior.
Here is a pic of the customer loaner!!

Hello there Htown Mini,

Forgive me if this has been addressed before, but I couldn't see anywhere....what product did you use, and how is it holding up with that gorgeous lustre it now has?

Thanks,

Mike

Hello there, I could be in depending on my schedule at the time...along with my list of honeydews....I just moved to Montgomery and see quite a few Minis driving along 1488, usually opposite direction to me. I don't get many reciprocal waves though...I suppose it's the 120mph closure rate means you have to have a pretty keen eye and good reflexes to unlock the death grip from the steering wheel and get that flipping of the hand (as opposed to the bird)....

MiniKoopsz 01-16-2014 05:30 AM

I'm from the Conroe area but I think woodlands is the best place to have a meet maybe market street area : )

ihad2reload 04-16-2014 08:04 PM

Hey guys,

I am new to the MINI experience and eager to meet other owners to go drive with. I have a 2012 Clubman S in Midnight Black. I live in Katy so if you see some fool driving a black Clubman waving frantically to say hi, that's me.

ihad2reload 05-06-2014 07:23 PM

before and after paint touch up
 
The before and after is INCREDIBLE. WHAT did you do to get it so shiny? I have to do this to mine ASAP!

Firehawk178 04-23-2015 08:12 PM

Not much activity here, but we picked up a 2009 MCS on Monday. We didn't know what we were looking to get for my daughter that just got her learner's permit and the mini just jumped out as us.. :)

We also have a 2012 Camaro SS and 2006 Daytona Charger R/T. We live in Katy and are already so attached to the Mini.. heh

My family will be moving to Houston soon and I will be purchasing a used MCS for my daughter once we get there. Anyone know of a good place to get one?

Doc Pain 07-22-2015 11:56 AM

i live in cleveland,tx [bout 35mi from woodlands..] just bought a 09 MCS and wondering wth is it so hard to find aftermarket stuff for THIS particular model??? -- or is it just my normal luck and i boughta gimp? albeit...she sure dont run like a gimp..heheheh ...and i cant belive i said yes to an AT over standard but the difference was striking how fast/clever the shifting was! And i cant lie...owning 20+ games that use paddle shift...well...it just flet like home. Hopefully it wont become a curse as i have read on some posts about the 6spd AT...

MINI_42 07-22-2015 01:47 PM

I have decided to list my Mini on CL. I work in the offshore oil industry, and my company is starting to lay people off. I may be one of the unlucky ones shortly. So here's the listing: http://houston.craigslist.org/cto/5132711440.html

It is in like new condition - no scratches, no dents, no defects, perfect condition.

Don't be afraid to talk to me.

Mike 713 724 2962 (back in town from the 26th July onwards) or PM me.
