Sumsi says "hello everyone"

Hello, my name is Manuel and I´m from Austria. I´ve to say, my english is not the best one, I think I´ve decided to join this forum, because I want to learn english a little bit better
to me: I´m 18years old and my car is a 2004 MINI ONE R50, but it was built a little bit before the facelift came out I love this car soooo much, it´s incredible.
I am such a MINI-freak, I never though that this is possible A lot of my friends call me a freak only because of the MINI for school I´m writing a work with the topic "MINI" and there I´m writing above the history of MINI; BMC, the company, which started the production, the rally with the MINI, important personalities (John Cooper, Alec Issigonis) and so on. It´s a lot of work, but I thought, I would take something, I´m interested in, instead of anything.

to my MINI:
It´s a 2004 ONE and I´ve done a little bit with him
MTH-tuningfile
Jama/Laser exhaust
US-Aeropacket
OMP strut brace
JCW gear **** and bezels
Scangauge II
JCW-Carbondashboard
Blaupunkt Santa Cruz MP36 - Autoradio
green Viperstripes

and it´s not all some things are planed for the future too.


I hope, you´ve understood me

Your English level seems advanced to me, only a few errors but they do not cause any confusion or loose the meaning of what you're trying to say.

An internet forum is a good source of authentic English reading material. However, the grammar and spelling used by most on some forums might not be the accurate text book English you are used to or are expecting to learn. Don't second guess the grammar you have been taught just because some native speakers write it differently. I don't mean to patronize, it's just that I'm training to be a teacher of English as a foreign language.

Anyway, nice looking MINI. I love the bright green interior accents.

I agree with nabeshin. I am actually an English major in university and on this forum, I don't pay attention to the grammar and spelling, well, not as much as I do in class anyway.
That being said, welcome to the forum. I just joined a few days ago as well.
I really like how the car looks, and I also love the scenery around the car, especially the field of sunflowers and wind energy generators. Please, don't hesitate to post more pictures, haha

Thanks
The next steps at the car will be black rings at the headlights instead of the chrome, the MINI-displays with the oil-temperature and the battery. And he HAVE TO be lower But I think the suspension will come in summer, only then

don´t worry, it´s clear water. As he drank out of the bucket, it was just filled in. If there is a cleaning compound in the water, he smells first and went further then

looks good! id love to see the green stripes in matte black. if any color, id do the slight edge of the matte black in a thin pinestripe like line. i think that would set the car off really nicely
