New from CT

Just wanted to say hi from a new member. I'm a PA-C and a firefighter from CT. Technically, its my fiance's Mini, but I'll be doing the modifications so I figured I'd get my feet wet here. Thanks in advance for any advice you all offer.








And the sticker my fiance hopes will get her out of tickets:

Nice MINI

Welcome to NAM, great place for information and having fun in your idle moments.

I'm sure with her vanity plate and your sticker, she will not get any 'tickets', good luck with that!

Is the MINI Chili Red, it looks orange in the pictures, might be my tired eyes?

Actually, the vanity plate refers to Ultimate Frisbee, something we both love to play. Although it certainly could be given other meanings, as implied!

No, Chili Red, most likely poor photography skills rather than tired eyes.

Welcome to NAM. That's a really nice looking MINI. It sounds like you and your fiance have some fun stuff in common. Have a great time working on the Mods. Happy motoring and happy future life together!

Welcome to NAM from a fellow CT MINI (co)driver !
Same situation here, MINI belongs to the lady but I will be allowed to wash it and fill up the gas
j/k she lets me drive it fairly often
Hope to see you around one day.

Additional to NAM you should check out nemini.org, very active CT community.

Cheers,
Volker

Welcome! The color is so appropriate for a firefighter! Hey if those stickers get you out of tickets, how about handing them out to the rest of us???

Thanks for all the greetings, guys. I'll check out nemini.org, but the site is down right now.

I'm off to try to install some lights in the Mini . . . wish me luck.
