My mom bought herself a 2004 mini S last year and ever since I haven't stopped drooling. Well, i go to school in orange county, and during spring break a few weeks ago I was able to stop back home in Portland after my original trip and surprise, they told me to cancel my flight back to OC and drive the MINI, and now it's officially mine. Anywhoo, mod's will come with the money, so far just lamin-x yellow fogs and a blackout beltline is all but i'll keep you all updated. Here are some decent pics from a earlier tonight during a wash session, enjoy.






when my mom first brought it home... of course it had to be left out in the snow. i cried a little inside.

 

sweet story, very nice P/W

 

Congratulations!!!
Great color combo IMHO, but I am not biased or anything!!!

 

Haha wow thats an awesome story! Maybe I should keep nagging my grandmother about how I love her new Audi...

In terms of mods, have you considered a stubby antenna? Those pics make it so apparent of the length of that thing. Theyre easy to install and theyre not too expensive either.

Congrats on being a mini owner!

 

Congrats - you have a great set of parents!

 

Awe man... you're stealing a MINI from PDX??

J/K Congrats! Sweet car

thanks for the kind remarks everyone, def have plans for some 16x7 wheels and a few other things hopefully before the summer is over, i'll def keep you guys posted!

 

VERY nice mini..not biased..just like paynemdMINI
A LOT of money is going to go into your car..just like all of us..
it's an addiction..*dun dun dunnnnn*

 

Your parents are great! I loved that story. Congrats on MINI ownership

And don't forget, Mother's Day is fast approaching! You owe her BIIIIIIIIIIG

 

a free mini! you do owe your mom BIG!

what a beauty! congrats!

 

without a doubt. i used to have an mk4 golf and it hurts to think about how much money i put into modding that thing. i learned a lot though, and the MINI will def be right the first time. i guess it could be said that the "mod bug" is a sickness i don't mind having.

thanks again for all the words guys, i can't stop raving about how great the mini community is. anyways, added a few pics up top, check em out

 

thats to cool, wish my mom was like that with her three series, but then i wouldnt have gotten my MCS so its all good, welcome to the family

 

Congrats on your MINI! Nice story and pics.

 

cool car, even cooler place to go to school.

I would love to go to school in Orange County. Went and looked at schools there, but never made the move.
