(Sort of) New guy here!

Hello! Ive been lurking alot lately, and have just recently picked up an 07' Astro Black MCS. This is our second MCS, my wife used to have an 03'. Coming from the 1st gen to the 2nd gen was a major change... The 2nd gen feels liie there was actually some thought put into it when it was built! I love it!

I bought it with 57k on the ODO. Its already needing new brake pads, so Im about to order some Hawk HPS as they seem to have some of the best reviews from the few that Ive been looking at (EBC mainly).

I do plan on tracking it eventually. I used to Auto X in my old MR2 Spyder, and it was a blast! So I hope to return to that as well.

My "plans" for the Mini are to...

1) Learn how to drive it better
2) Coilovers, sway bars, lighter wheels and some sticky rubbers
3) Start increasing the power output.

Ill try to post up some pics when I can. I think the color combo might be a little rare. Its Astro black, with matching roof and mirrors and black leather interior.

Anyone else here from Southeast Texas?
