2003 Can't Wait for February Club Roll Call
 
Dear 2003 CWFFCs,

Well, it's been 20 months since we starting motoring and it's time to let the NAM community know our MINI experiences, good or bad.

I'll start (I have to since I started this new thread).
  • The MCS has 25,648 miles with only 1 warranty issue; the RH door window motor failed.
  • As I motor around town, I still get "the look" even though the number of MINIs have increased locally.
  • I've got no dings or dents and the paint shine is still brillant.
  • I've just about maxed out with performance mods except for a rear swaybar. Plus, I've got my eye on boost/oil pressure gauges and XM radio kit.
  • Most importantly, I still have a thrill with MINI motoring. By the way, no speed tickets although I may deserve it.
Here's the list:

Still here... 27,000+ miles later. States visited: VA (where we live) DC, MD, DE, NJ, PA, NY, CT, RI, MA, WV, TN, SC, NC, GA, and FL.

Had a few warranty issues, most minor. Loose trim and things like that with the biggest warranty issues being A/C blower failure this summer and driver's side window motor failure last summer.

Mods...
Not much Aux jack, Parcel shelf, added 12v power outlet to the parcel shelf, chrome flame side intake vents, stainless John Cooper signature badge on the boot, and Sirius Shuttle radio.

I really wasn't a Feb member but my MINI was built in Feb & I took delivery on March 4. As you know, I lurked around in your Feb Club:sly: My 03 MC CR/B AKA Louie is now my hubby's. He has 17K miles on him & still runs & looks as good as he did then. I've had my MC Cabrio for all of 2 weeks & have already put 1000 miles on it. Need I say more, we love our MINIs.

Lois:cool: :cool: :cool:
