Hi! I'm new here, just wanted to blatantly announce that. I've got a BRG CVT MINI that I got at P&W in Pittsburgh. I look forward to participating in these forums! :smile:

 

Mark,

Welcome to MINICooperonline, have fun, make friends and all the other good stuff that comes with MINI ownership.

Hey Mark. My name is also Mark. And yes, I too.................am a MINIholic. But this isn't a club to get OVER that, it's here to add to it. So sit back and soak it all up, buddy. There's some good people here, and a lot of info. You'll be a full blown raging MINIholic in no time at all. Congrads on acquiring the Mini.
Cheers,

 

Keep coming back, it works!!

 

Welcome Mark, alot of nice folks here and a wealth of information, can't believe you didn't find us before u got your MINI. Just got to be a habit while I was waiting for mine, now it just fun to share information and experiences with a worldwide family of MINI owners !

 

Welcome Mark! :smile:

 

Thanks everyone!

 

Welcome to the site, Mark!
I can assure you that everyone on here is as crazy about their Minis as you are.....
I'm actually not too far from you in Maryland...we have pretty frequent meets around here so if you are ever interested in hanging out with fellow Miniacs, I can give you all the info you would ever need! :smile:
Cheers!

Welcome Mark !!

Mark you now have to read all past posts - then we will seen you a qiuz.

Nah only kidding on the quiz,have fun reading.

 

Hey Mark,
Ditto to everything else that has been responded to your opening topic. Out of 25 cars that I have owned since I was 16, I can never remember being more pleased with any like I am my mini. The Cooper handles like a go-cart. It's no wonder they have become a smash hit here in the states, we are not accustomed to having a real driving experience. I drove a Brit. Green before deciding on an Indi Blue. The car was awesome!

If you're really smitten, you'll have to get out and garnish all of the replicas out there. I started a month ago, and it has become a pleasurable hobby. Start looking at the Sam's Clubs. They sell a $9.87 Maisto Die Cast that you are going to like. It's made in Britt Racing Green!

Welcome aboard,
Jim

 

@Cooperman

No kidding! *heads over to Sam's Club*

 

Maisto makes five colors, of which BRG is included. The bonnets, hatch and doors all open. The wheels have "spring" to them. The steering works. It's a bargain considering the die cast for sale at the dealerships. Hot Wheels also makes a relica of similar size. I have only found one color, which happened to be Indi Blue. There's also another brand, that's similar to Maisto, found at most Kaybee Stores, at around $19.99.

It's become something of a preoccupying hobby..:smile: Good luck!
Jim

 

Welcome Mark.
I think this place is for us miniaholics that need to know there are others like us. Who needs 12 step programs? None of us.

 

Greetings and weclome - from slightly North of the 'burgh!

Keep watch for the MINI reunions that P&W hosts. We just had one on Sunday (10/21) to Seven Springs - it was EXTREMELY COOL seeing a line of 27 MINIs driving down the road!!!!! There is talk of another one (in December?) to Oglebay for the X-mas lights.

 

Glad to hear the 7 Springs one went well! I got the invite to it, but was busy that weekend, maybe I'll make the Oglebay one!

I stopped at the McKnight Rd Sam's Club today, Not a Mini in sight, plenty of stupid PT cruisers left though!
