Because everything good needs replacing, here is my 2006 Pepper White MINI Cooper. :D I was sad to see my Mazda Protege5 go (even welled up a bit at the sound of the exhaust note as they drove it away) but I'm elated with my new car. This is like going from a rotary to a cell phone, the features on this car blow me away. Had it for less than 24 hours and I'm in love already.

 

Hmm and here's a question... driving in this morning the coolant temp was at about 200 degrees. I read in the manual that it should be in the middle of the guage (have the Chrono pack) at 140 degrees. Do I need to take it to the shop? :x

 

Wellllll nevermind, found my answer. 194 degrees is normal operating temp.

Back to loving my MINI! Wait... that sounded wrong...

 

Love the mini! I also have an '06 R50. Let the modifying begin!

 

Congrats!! The 06's are the best of the gen 1's . I think you will be very happy!! Any plans to do any mods and add your signature and persnality to the car? There are lots of neat thing you can do for a small amout of $ to make your car very unique!!

 

Thanks! :D I've got ideas already, but mainly interior mods. I did some modding on my Protege5 and would pick it up again on the MINI. Especially with so many options available. I find myself making excuses to drive again, I like that feeling.

 

Now to find the optimal work parking space where I can see it by turning my head slightly to the right. Then smile. :D

 

Congrats! Cool name for the car too.

 

Thanks :D
