Hello, fellow MINIacs!

Just wanted to introduce myself and my new love (next to my wife ) - a new (slightly used) 2005 MCSCa. I've waited patiently for over 5 years to get my hands on one , and boy am I glad I waited! I've had a perm-a-grin ever since I brought him home . He's been dubbed "Austin" (because my wife and I like that name, that's where we live (in Texas), and as a sort of tribute to the car's heritage).

Incidentally, this chap will eventually end up replacing my current daily driver: a 2001 Pontiac Aztek (talk about going from "drool" to "cool")....

And now, let the modding commence! First up: Black Bonnet Stripes.

Cheers!

Excellent

Nice 05 Cabrio, looks like 'Austin' found a nice home in Austin. Your right, that was a big change from Aztec to MCSc. Five years?

Welcome to NAM and having a super nice MINI. Looks good.

Sweet ride, although I think people who bought a Pontiac Aztek should not be allowed to ever be considered "cool." Unfortunately, driving that sweet thing around is going to make you VERY cool, so there's not much I can do about it.

hahahahah :D

Anyway, I'm just jokin' with ya (sort of). Must be a great feeling to go from the butt of everyone's jokes to the envy of those same people.

congratulations!
