Hello all, I was on here a few years ago with a 2004 MCS. I never stopped loving the car, I just got bored and went through a couple of other cars and finally realized I wanted a mini again. I just purchased a 2012 MCS Convertible. I really like the car and the turbo is a hoot, but I do miss the whine of the supercharger with reduction pulley. An added plus is that my wife likes it too so I don't have to hear it all the time about my "sports cars". My last car was a 2001 Vette, OMG don't get me started on the list of problems.

 

Welcome back. You'll love it.

 

The top down at the Dragon was great.

I had 99 C5 and no problems for the first 7k and then sold it for a Audi TT.

Anyway welcome back. Maybe there is a supercharger whine simulator mod out there.

 

Glad to have you back. Looks great!

 

Congrats on the new MINI.

 

Excellent color choice! Beautiful MINI!

 

I've put 3,000 miles on it now and still loving it. Just a couple of annoyances like a rattling speaker in the rear and the bluetooth sucks. I'll never use it, but I hate that I paid $500 for it (I think that's what was on the sticker). I've been running midgrade 89 gas and getting 35-37mpg highway. I put in the proclip cell phone mount and I love it. It's really solid and allows me to poke at the phone without it wabbling around. Now I need to order a radar, this thing zips through the mountains like nobody's business.

Nice, I just ordered a Passport 8500 x50. Should work well right behind the mirror with a suction mount.
