I'd just like to say hi. I have been lurking here for 3 or 4 months now reading about the common problems with the cars, various upgrades etc. I have been looking for a used MCS for 4+ months. I finally found something very close to what I was looking for and I drove her home Thursday night.

It is a 2007 Lightening Blue MCS with 75,000 kms (about 45k miles). It has a few options (Premium, Chrome Line packages with climate control, HiFi sound and a limited slip diff). As it is a MINI Next car, it still has another 2 year/80.000km warranty on it. You can see pictures here (car is filthy from all the rain and blowing leaves): http://personal.nbnet.nb.ca/sjmorris/MINI/

In the very near future I intend to get the windows tinted a little and put white viper stripes on it. And I need to get some winter tires (which I will mount on the stock rims). Over the winter I will get some summer tires and probably ditch the brand new run-flats that are on the car now.

I'm looking forward to many years with this car, and meeting some of you at MINIs On Top next year.
