The Soop3r Cooper Is Gone!!!

but, i traded it in today for a used mini at classic!!

Meet Soop3r V2.0...



well, ive already determined this incarnation of my little Soop3r is a girl, so welcome her to the MINI family!

She is a 2004 DS/W MCS with black leatherette, cold weather pkg, DSC, Fogs, and some other little stuff. I cant believe i never bought one of these before my MC, the power different is un - freaking - believeable!! I"M AN MCS CONVERT!!!


My face, the entire way home --->


I hope my other car, the original SOOP3R COOPER finds a nice home with another loving MINI enthusiast.

Congrats on the new girl, sweetie!!! I did the same thing back in '03. Jet Black was not offered for '02 MCSs, and when I saw the first ones, I had to have one, too.

I had taken delivery of my first MINI, an all-Pure Silver Cooper, in August 2002, and in January 2003, I placed the order for Wanda. I was uncertain until I finally saw Wanda "in person." I sat in her and that was that...."MINIclo" was traded in for Wanda!

Watch out for that mod bug....it is contagious and too much fun!

Does this mean you're gonna change your screen name?

Welcome to the world of the MCS. Oh, and keep your wallet open - LOTS of aftermarket options for you. :smile:

At least someone will be posting photos of dark silver / White MINIs in the Camera and Video forum. My days of posting DS/W are numbered.

haha, yes, the dice wre my first mod!

a girl i know got them from vegas for me, they are air fresheners too, with the fresh scent of "cheap strip club"

the stereo in this will be a bit different than my MC, seeing as this is a NON HK car (Thank god!) and now i can fiddle with it the way i used to without having to have a degree in electronics engeneering to change the HU!!!!
