I'm bonified! My first MINI

Hi everyone!

I got my first MINI last night. I am beyond psyched. It's pre-owned, but it has been cared for (for the most part)... and it is my intention to bring it back to its original glory... or at least as close as I can get it.

It's a 2002, S ... Indigo Metalic Blue with white stripes and a whilte roof. sunroof/moonroof

I have wanted one for a long time, and now I have one. I have been to 2 MOTDs (2008/2009) as a passenger. 2010, I will be a driver. Color me ecstatic.

I am one of you.

Congrats!!! I'm sure you will find that this board, along with your local MINI club's board will be of great use!!
Have you thought what your first mod will be?? No matter how small the change you make, you will then be able to say your MINI is now unique, and more importantly, truly yours!! The mod could be a performance mod, a cabin creature mod, or a purely astetic mod, I think you can find someting that will float you boat!! Welcome!!
