From Sacto, CA dropping by ...

Hello Fella “Miniacs” – I thought it’s time to introduce myself and my ride (yet to be named). My name is Adrian from the Valley of Sacto, CA and I have issues ☺.

I have been trolling here for some time now and learned few things here and there. I really appreciate the camaraderie in this community. So, I think I’m going to stay for awhile. I’m not new to the car scene and always wanted a Mini, most especially the R53.

Without further ado …created my half @$$ job video and you’ll understand why I have issues ….

Yes sir!

A little of background about the ride. I bought the car from an acquaintance. The car was originally electric blue 2005, 30k with all the bells and whistles. He had it previously repaired and I was not quite happy and satisfied with the body work. I had an opportunity to correct some of the mistakes and I went crazy. I've always wanted a Alpine White and went from there.

I'll have more pics and mod list in the coming weeks.

Thanks again.

Gotta give you credit for your industrious nature! I know many on here have fantasized about an Alpine White MINI, so you've made a lot of men & women very happy with this video and paint job! Welcome, and like everyone has said, can't wait to see more of your new creation!

Nope! The car was professionally done in the Bay Area.
