New Mini owner, long time gear head

Hello. I've been a gear head for many years with everything from classic Detroit muscle and lifted 4X4's to Mazda RX7's with highly modified rotary engines ( my current one is just over 400 RWHP ). And now I own a '03 Cooper S. Picked it up recently with only 28K on it. Loving every minute of it. Looking forward to chatting and learning more about them with all of you.

Welcome to NAM - The Mini will not be the fastest car you have had -- but if your like me it will be the most fun!

Welcome to NAM. I have had several Mazda rotary cars including my first -a 1972 RX-2. I had 3 RX-7's including a Turbo RX-7 but I doubt that all of them added together would exceed the HP that you are putting out!

I am really enjoying my 2009 MCS Convertible. These MINI's are very unique and a ton of fun! Happy Motoring!!

Welcome to NAM! Low mileage for an '03, good find. My '05 has 42K miles! (68,000kms)

Welcome to NAM-land from MAD-town, WI. Word of caution, these cars tend to become somewhat of an obsession...
