New guy and his new (to me anyway) MINI

Figured I should do it right and drop by to make my first post. I just recently traded in my 1998 Volvo S70 T5 5spd for my 2004 Silver Metallic Mini Cooper S. Still learning and such so no laughing at the new guy making stupid statements... just yet.

What I know about the S.
2004 Cooper S.
Silver Metallic with white roof and mirrors.
6spd
Leather heated seats
Sunroof. (the big glass one, that the front half opens up on. If there is another one...)
HID headlights
17inch S-lites in silver
Harmon Kardon sound system
and a whole lot of FUN!

More than welcome to ask questions, give suggestions etc.

and some pictures.








Forgot to add, the car had 57k on it when I bought it and I'm located in Columbia Missouri. Typing while sick... not always the best.

Congrats and welcome! I have my mini only 4 months and LOVE it and I am sure you will as well! I had the S-Lights, I took those off and opted for some actual lighter wheels and that made a huge difference in the driving of my mini. Just a thought. Anyway, welcome to NAM, this is a GREAT resource for new people like us

Planning on rocking the S-lites for a bit. I already know the name is a joke though. I'll keep em for winter driving, but I'm wanting to buy a nice set of 18-20lb a piece, wheels with some "summer" tires for the car. Tis a ways off though since its only November.
