Hey what's up everybody? I posted a couple of times, but I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Faisal. I just got my MINI on 1/29/10. Even though it's not an S, I absolutely LOVE my car. It's my favorate car so far. I learned to drive on my dad's old 94 Mazda MPV, then I drove 99 GMC Jimmy, next I had a 93 Nissan Maxima, and my last car was a 03 Honda Accord Sedan. I loved my old Maxima, but this car is by far the funnest car I've ever had. I've wanted a MINI badly for the last 5 years. I've worked hard to get to this point. This is the first car that I got on my own. No mommy or daddy's help. So I feel really good about it.

No pics yet because it has been nothing but snow for the last 3 weeks here in Virginia, but they're coming soon. This forum actually helped me a whole bunch. There is a wealth of info on here. I mean I've been searching and looking through this place for the past 3-4 months. So I like to say thank you for that. Anyways, I'll catch everyone around.

Hey Faisal stop that garbage of "even though it's not an S"! A MINI's a MINI, and they're all fun and neat to drive,and just a tad different to all other cars on the road. I'm not really into performance, speed, and how fast it can go. Yeah I bought a preowned S, but the major reason was because S is my first initial. Spend another $1-$10 and buy a decal and or badge, give your lil guy a name, and BAM you just Moded your "justamini" to a unique performance car.

Thanks everyone! I do love my "justa". It's very fun. And I actually took a crappy iPhone pic today after my first mod. I switched to the black mesh grille.

I did name justa already. His name is Jet...named after my girlfriends little kitten, Jett. Also I'll take a look at getting decal or badge.
