Finally got my Dream Car

I am so excited! I am a MINI owner!!!

I have a 2005 Mini Cooper S 6 speed. MODs include light weight racing rims, cold air intake, sport clutch, etc.

I tried posting my pisc but I keep getting a message saying they are not in the right formate (I'll have to get hubby to help).

My Mini's name is Penguin (I love Penguins) and will soon have peguin stuff in and on her LOL. My youngest calls her the "baby truck". I have no idea why but my daughter is 3 so who knows what is going on in her head.

I never thought I would get a Mini until later in life (e.g. after kids are gone) but my Hubby decided I deserve something special and got me one!

Well how nice of him! I send you many felicitations, a big howdy-do and welcome to NAM (one of the nicest forums you'll ever find)! I'm so happy for you that your MINI dream came true. Don't forget to wave and learn how to slap the grin off your face every time you drive it!

Congrats! What color is Penguin? I'm kind of a Linux geek so I can relate to the penguin love. It sounds like a sweet car.

I tried to get a pic on the post but it still isn't letting me.

I tried to put one in my siggie so we will see if that works.

Nice! I love the blacked out beltline and emblem. The exhaust tips look a bit off-center though. Or is that just my imagination? In any case, well done.

Congratulations & welcome to the obsession.

Nice Blackout on the back & the after market tail lights look nice too.

I am also part of the "hubby thought I deserved something special" club! Dont know what I did to "deserve" it but really glad I did it. Congrats on the MINI and great husband (not necessarily in that order...)


If you want to post a picture in the body of a post, you need to upload the photos to a photosharing website (I like photobucket), then use the Insert Image icon (looks like a postcard of a mountain range to me) that appears above when you are typing out a message, then just copy and paste the image address from the photosharing website. Clear as mud?
