Got my first MINI.. What a dream..

Hi ppl.. Im new to this forum, and I joind to get info and share info with all you mini owners... Bought my very first mini yesterday, and what a dream this car is.. I went "all the way" and got my self a 2003 mod Mini John Cooper S Works edition, 200 hk and with some mods to the brakes ( red EBC ) The car is stupid fast and I just love to ride it.. Yesterday I installed new speakers and tweeters in the front, next mods will be new head unit player, new speakers in the back and tintthe back windows. I also got some brand new 17" rims with GoodYear GSD3 F1 tires. It has been raining all day long yesterday and today, so I hope the roads will dry up so I can give it a real test... Please come with feedbacks and comments since im all new to the mini world..

I just said hi on your other thread. Nice looking ride, and those photos are great! The closest I've been to Norway is Denmark. I hope you get nice weather to motor this weekend.

Congratulations on a great looking MINI.

I'm already wanting some cool Norway weather. It was 90 degrees F here today and it's only April.

How much is 93 Octane in Norway?

Maybe this was on the other thread, but what part of Norway are you from? My mom is from Halden, and I've spent a total of about three months there over the last five or six years. I love it there, it's absolutely beautiful! We were just there in December, and I think we saw two or three MINIs around Oslo!

Congrats on your MINI! Sounds like you have some serious HP under the hood and in the audio department too.
Keep beating those Audis! ;-)
