So Siohahn decided to sell, eh? That's too bad for her, but welcome to the MINI community! It's going to take a little while to re-program my brain to associate a new owner, we'll see you soon enough.

Color: Pepper White all over with GBF custom stripe - its been around Colorado for a while
Options: 2004 S Premium/Sport w/ leather interior tan/black.
Modifications: She came with tinted windows, England flag on sunroof, unique stickers and just too cool.
Where: NAM member in Denver.
Why: Because it is just too fun. I've been wanting a speedy little car and this just calls to my soul.
Part of town: Mostly between Longmont & Louisville or around Boulder.
Events: Don't know yet...Mini in the Mountains 2008 looking like my first one.
Will be joining Mini5280 soon but just trying to clean out my new baby and focus on getting her just right for my outings. Looking for recommendations for annual check-ups other than Schomp & part dealers.
About me - originally from England and remember driving around in my grandmother's mini to go out and walk the dog....
Sounds like trouble to me.

Welcome aboard MBX5. Can't wait to see your Clubman.
We have our next MINI5280 meeting on 4/8 at 7:00. This month we are having it at the Lowry Tavern (see this thread: MINI5280 Meeting). You would be a welcomed guest if you can come (even sans MINI). Also check out our website www.MINI5280.org for a calendar of events so you can show off your new MCSCB (is this the abbreviation we are using?).

MBX5,

I just got started with NAM.com as well. I just purchased my Mini in December and also work in Wesmtinster. I am very excited, I ordered my wheels about two weeks ago and they just arrived today. I will have new pictures soon but this is what mine looks like for now in case you see me around:


I work with exotic cars and I love my Mini. You should be very excited to get your new go-kart!

Jared

Hi Eeveryone... Just found the site

I purchased Mini "S", 2006, Convertible, orange, with 16,000 miles on it. I drove one in Europe with the steering wheel on the right (I lived next to a British RAF Pilot) in Germany and use to let me drive it. I was hooked so now I have my own. I love it!
Hoping to see some of you on rides, Rallies, events, etc.

Ed


Add Ons: Official Mini Rubber floor Matts, Replaced stock stereo with Alpine Stereo/Sirius/IPOD hook up, all Infinity speakers, 10" Inch Box Subwoofer in truck, Mini Seatbelt pads...

New in Colorado Springs

Hi folks!
I picked up my Mini for my wife (and myself) in San Diego a couple weeks ago (found it on Auto Trader). Purchased it used from BMW Encinitas. Cooper S Covertible with an Auto. Jennifer named is "Sam" (Samantha). Pepper White with a Navy leather interior and Blue top. We wanted it loaded, so it has all the packages, Navi, HK, etc. Missing the bluetooth and Aux in, but probably going to add the Aux soon. Also doesn't have power folding mirrors.

Hopefully, we'll have the opportunity and time to be involved in the local Mini scene!

- JB
