Hey everyone

So after 18 months and 22 trips to the dealer I've decided to move on from my Maserati GranTurismo.
I pick up a 2011 Range Rover Sport for weekends and going out at night and a Mini Cooper S to drive to College everyday. With the idea it might be easier to park in NYC.
I was pleasantly surprise by how fun this little thing is even in traffic!

Just wanna say hi to everybody, I will be here a lot if this is as reliable as my last car ;P

here are some pics!

Ciao.

Nice MCS. Ciao!

 

Nice fleet. I wish I had a car for weekend and evenings then a separate car for when I was in college. Enjoy them both.

 

thanks I always joke that the mini is my carbon offset car.

 

Life's a ***** isn't it?

 

life not fair

 

Nice. I want to see the Maserati though.

Also I wish my parents did whatever yours do for a living

 

Welcome! Actually though, you've strayed from the Italians to the Germans...(but I guess Brits count if the Range Rover is new since dumping the Maserati).

 

German? I thought it was made in Oxford or something the sticker said :/

Here's the Maser...waiting for a tow...in Stamford...

Car ****.... even if it is broken

 

Well depends on how you define it-semantics really. Only part of car built in England. Some built in France, engines and transmissions from Germany Brazil Japan. Profits go to Germany so in my opinion car is English in heritage but German in reality.

 

MINIs (except the Countryman) are built in Britain, the Oxford plant fabricates all the metal panels and puts together what you'd recognise as a car, all British. There are components sourced abroad of course, when we were visiting the wiring all came from Romania. The engines may have components from other countries but they're built at the Hams Hall plant, again in Britain.

 

ok, but then is a honda that is built in north america not a japanese car? a volkswagen built in mexico - is it a mexican car, then? nike is an american company but it's products are not made in north america. therein the reason why i said in an earlier post, "semantics" do we define the country by which the product represents based on the location where it headquarters operations or the country where the product is manufactured?

let's not get carried away and dominate moreaux thread though - this is a welcome aboard, regardless of where one thinks or hopes his/her MINI is from.
