Hello, new member here.

Hey everyone! My wife and I are new here. Although we've been MINI fans for a while, we just now finally bought our first one. We got an 07 MCS, pepper white with black roof and crown spoke wheels (I'll add photos soon). We've only had it for a couple of weeks so we're still trying to figure out what all the **** and buttons do -- just found the auxillary audio jack today! I've followed the forums here for months and everyone has been very helpful, especially while shopping for a MINI. We look forward to being a part of the group.

Welcome to NAM, good to see another MINI couple on the forum. Check out your local clubs, get as involved as you want to be and enjoy driving your MCS.

I thought about a PW/B but I had to have the DS/W as it was more me. Did you order and wait or find a great unit at the dealer?

Enjoy and have fun.

Welcome & Congrats!

You choose my second color option. I just had to go for the sportier color combo that will surely end up getting me in trouble somewhere down the line. Especially with the nick name the Mini will be taking on, Shelby Jr. The pic in my signature line below should help to explain this.

We saw a lot of great MINIs on the lots but we finally decided to just order exactly what we wanted.

By the way, thanks andyde that thread will be really useful! I find something new everytime I drive it.

Maybe it'll actually stop raining here so I can take some photos.

Nope. That's not it.

Just how exactly does this work?

Hey thanks Sowellman -- how on earth do you post a photo in here? What's up with the URL thing?

I'll definitely add more to my gallery soon. If I end up taking half as many photos of the MINI as I have of my other cars, then there will be more than enough photos in there. Especially when the wifey and I start taking trips in it.

Congrats on the superb MINI and, of course, for choosing the most distinguished and prestigious of all color combinations! (not that I'm partial or anything)

Happy motoring!
