Hi all,
I'm new to MCO, but have been posting on Roadfly for a while. This is a very cool site. I'm in the Daytona Beach area in FL. There are very few MINIs around here, but more are slowly showing up! I've had my MCS since November and love it to death!
Any other MINI owners in the Central/North Florida area? Love to hear from you!

Regards,

~Joe

Welcome to MCO JoeS475!!!!

Did you check the Regional forums? Florida has its very own home here. Those Floridian Miniacs are quite an active bunch here on MCO.

BTW, what color leather interior did you get? I think the BRG looks great with the beige leather, but I'd love to see one with Emerald Green.

Hey!
Thanks for the quick and warm welcome guys! HARMINI, my leather is the standard grey. I wasn't sure what the green would look actually look like, and I wasn't too impressed with the views on the MINIUSA site. I'd never even thought of trying beige!

Had no idea there was a Florida forum here, thanks for the heads up, gonna head over there now!

~Joe

Hey Jo,
welcome to MCO!
It's fun to watch how MINI fever is spreading!
When I got mine, there were two others in town, now there are 7 that I know of, and they are all different!
Enjoy MCO and your car!

Joe, you are not welcome here. Go elsewhere.

Only joking, just thought I would be different. Welcome to the weird and whacky world of MCO. Happy motoring buddy! :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile:

hey guys,

Got a rookie here too. Just picked up my brand new MCS a couple days ago... first new car i have ever owned that i didn't have to build myself... and have been looking for any excuse to go for a ride. I had forgotten how much I love to drive. Anyway, back at school in PA now with the MINI parked almost all the time. :???: so if anyone has any ideas for getting out on the road, i am all ears.

Christian

Thanks again for the warm welcome guys, I appreciate it!

Merlin, I go to school too, but still try to take the MINI out at least daily. I've put about 8000 miles on it since November, and have motored as far north as Boston (in the snow), and as far south as Key West (in the sand) and love every minute of it!
Cheers!

~Joe

Welcome to MCO, both of you!!! You'll have a hard time finding time to motor when you meet soo many awesome people on here! It becomes second family.
