Finally joined the MINI family...

Well, after lurking around here and all of the other MINI sites for over a year, I finally picked up my 2005 BRG/W MCS (Sports package, cold weather package) over the weekend. Gotta thank all the people whose "opinions" helped me decide on the final spec. Especially those who pointed me towards Classic Mini in OH.

Happy motoring...

a brg job joins the ranks!

welcome! i'm a dsb, but i'll inappropriately welcome you, nonetheless.

this is the pattern:

lurk around forum.
put an order down.
stalk the forum ALL THE TIME.
get mini.
disappear off the face of the earth for about a month.
gradually hit the forums again.
and life goes on.

remember to eat, occasionally sleep (in the mini), and remember not to doodoo while you drive. Do that stuff outside of the car.

Classic MINI is incredible, aren't they?

Nice ride. I still haven't found a cure for my sore jaw from the constant smiling...

Wow - very similar cars! I got the Premium Package and decided not to get the Cold Weather Package. (I'm in Northern California.) And I got the bonnet stripes.

But mine is BRG/W and I got the white S-Lites. Love the way they look!

And I ordered my car from Classic. She's in mid-Atlantic right now.

'Zed congratulatiolns... I'm a fan of your car. Be warned... it will be difficult to eat soup for a while. It keeps dripping out throught the grin.

Lomabard, your ride sounds a lot like mine. I tell my wife that I have to drive that way, because it's called British Racing Green.
