Newbie!

  • WHEN did you get your MINI- Just got the car last month
  • WHAT is your MINI or Mini's name? - No name yet
  • WHAT color or colors is your MINI? - Chili Red
  • What options did you get on your MINI? - Everything except heated seats.
  • WILL you be doing modifications to your MINI or Mini? Yes, I plan on replacing the bypass valve with a Detroit tuned soon and doing a tune up. The car has CAI, Magnaflow Exhaust, and a aftermarket pulley that I can't find out who manafactured? The pulley is stainless looking with six allen heads and two holes. I assume it is a 15%. The car right now is only making 10.5-11.0 psi at WOT so I am hoping that replacing the Bypass valve and a new belt will cure that.
  • WHERE did you get your MINI or Mini? New? Used? Used- Mountain View Motors in motor city.
  • WHY did you get a MINI or Mini? I have always wanted one.
  • WHAT part of town will you be seen in? I live near Constitution and Academy.
  • WHAT types of events would you likely be involved in? I am up for anything.
Sean

Hi MINI5280,

Just paid dues today, but have had my MINI for a year. Wanted to post a hearty, Let's Motor!


WHEN did you get your MINI- Summer 2009

WHAT is your MINI or Mini's name? - No name yet

WHAT color or colors is your MINI? - Royal Grey Metallic

What options did you get on your MINI? - Lots!

WILL you be doing modifications to your MINI or Mini? My first upgrade was the JCW Sound Kit. Love it.

WHERE did you get your MINI or Mini? Used, from someone who bought it from Long Beach MINI.

WHY did you get a MINI or Mini? I wanted to be MINI. Was a fan of the classic, wanted a MINI when I saw the concept in 2000, but went bigger. My allroad recently died and I needed something radically different. MINI fit the bill.

WHAT part of town will you be seen in? Boulder County.

WHAT types of events would you likely be involved in? Stuff close by would be my preference, and charity-related would also be fantastic.

I think I'll be able to kick off my membership with Yalla Yalla if everything goes as planned. See you all then!

Hi Rich!

Good to hear from you. I'll definitely check out the CHR. Sounds fun. Where do I find more info?

Hope to see you on the 6th.

When you see me, you'll understand how little chance I have at completing the YY successfully, so no worries...and no apologies necessary! :-)

WHEN did you get your MINI- Mid June of 2010

WHAT is your MINI or Mini's name? - I have not named my MINI quite yet

WHAT color or colors is your MINI? - Chili Red with a Checker top and Black Bonnet stripes

What options did you get on your MINI? - I think the only option on the original purchase of her was the second set of high beams (I believe they are often reffered to as fogs, but believe me, they are definitely more like another set of brights)

WILL you be doing modifications to your MINI or Mini? Yes! Fortunately, I was able to find a stock MCS, and I've already done the Alta CAI, and am currently trying to decide on a catback. I'm thinkin about the Invidia N1. Any comments on that exhaust? And when I'm all done I'm hoping to be up to Dinan Stage 4 hardware and software, plus some headers. Oh I almost forgot! I've gotten ahold some Holeys for my snow set up!

WHERE did you get your MINI or Mini? New? Used? - I got mine Used off of Craigslist after driving probly about 15 different MINI's

WHY did you get a MINI or Mini? I've always loved MINI's, and I was sellin' my E30 325iX to get a more Fuel friendly car.

WHAT part of town will you be seen in? I live in Aurora, and commute to Broomfield for school everyday. (I-270 is hell!)

WHAT types of events would you likely be involved in? Anything! I really wanna start going to them! I want to hear exhausts in person before I make any final decisions!

-Mike

Congratulations, Mike!

So, your 325iX is one of my all-time favorite cars. My best friend bought one new in 1988, and drove it for about five years. We put a lot of miles on that thing.

It's no MINI of course :-), but what a car!

Enjoy!

Matthew

Okay. I've gathered that it's on November 6th, at the Broomfield park and ride, but what time does it start at? And it seems like some sort of scavenger hunt maybe, is it not?

Head south, I saw more MINI's than ever when I was home a couple weeks ago. All you gotta do is give the wave, and dont forget MITM, its CO's biggest event and the one that realy got me into the MINI/mini world.

Congrats on the Clubby, Hope to see you around when the weather heats up again.
