:smile: Hi all, i'm new here and i thought it be polite to formally introduce myself. Although i do not own a MINI yet, i decided to join this forum as a means for sharing information about the car we all love.

I'm only 21 years of age but i'm already keen to earn my MINI (S is way out of the question).

Thanks and i hope to see you guys around here.

Welcome to MCO wonderboy

Have you had the luxury of test-driving a MINI yet? It'll definitely have a dramatic effect on your "sign-on-the-dotted-line-disorder"!

enjoy your stay,
Cheers,
Ryan

Howdy Project... any relation to Lupis?

(Another obscure reference, but the same one as before... no, there's not a theme..)

Just repeating what everyone else has said, welcome!
A little tip for you though, beware of 2minis, he turns strange after dark.

Welcome to MCO!! This is the best place to hang out until you get your MINI... and then after you get your MINI.

Welcome pw
I love my MINI Cooper. That said, it is slow very slow. Quick in the turns maybe but still the slowest car I have ever owned. Don't get me wrong I did not by the car for speed, the MC is all about style, handling, being different. If you like to take off quick at all you might want to save up a little longer.

Welcome! When I was 21 I was driving my first Mini (a 1966).

It's a great age to be in a MINI. Then again, ANY age is great to be ina MINI!

Good luck!

welcome to munchkin land !

we represent the lollipop kids...the lollipop kids...the lollipop kids.

GOOD GAWD. i need to get some SLEEP. see what happens when you stay up way too late and start reading all kinds of threads when you should be tucked nicely in your bed - it's an addiction. a MINI one mind you, but it's all good.

PS. make sure you search the forums, most questions have been answered about 1000 times each and there are pages and pages of good info.
