My 2011 Mini Cooper S Has Arrived!!!
Hello NAM,
So my 2011 Mini Cooper S has finally arrived (well it arrived Saturday but I am finally getting around to posting lol)! Picked it up and what an amazing experience. The process was so stress free and my MA was so patient and helpful with all the questions I have had. I have done nothing but drive around and its hard not letting the tach go past 4500 RPM's. Soon enough though it will be finally broken in haha Here are some pictures below that I took of my new baby! (still haven't thought of a name yet). Thank you all on the forum for all your helpful replies and advice whenever I had a post or question. You guys are all awesome! Let me know what you guys think of the pics!!!

Thanks to everyone for the nice compliments and input! I love that everyone is so friendly on this site, and definitely gave me a big welcome. This is only my 4th day with the MINI and I am in love. I was worried how I would react with what appears to be a very small car, but I myself feel the inside is so roomy, and everyone agrees. Cant answer for the backseat, but I will never be riding in the back so who cares lol... I am just stumped on a name. Does it have to be a girl being that I am male, or does it even matter haha. Can't wait till it is broken in and I can really see what this car is all about.

Also, I am a little over a half a tank of gas in my car, and wanted to get input from you guys, or if you can direct me to a thread that talks about the best gasoline to put in these cars. I do know that the gas has to be premium for sure, but I am not too sure as to what company to go to. In New Mexico the major ones we have are Chevron, Shell, Valero (the new Diamond Shamrock here), Texaco, Circle K, and some others I am sure I am forgetting. Any advice or direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Again!!!

that is one sweet looking mcs!
i use only top tier gas but most importantly look at the surrounding of the gas station - is it dirty or clean. does the station look modern or old? i will never pump gas on any gas station that doesn't look clean. also, will not stop by one that looks old with the possibility of having old storage system.

Thanks! I appreciate it. It was hard ordering and not being able to see what it looks like, but like I said I love it, and am completely happy with the way the car came!!! What's the headlight Joey modded (sorry still a newbie lol)? So what are you takes on shell gasoline and would V power be the best? I would have to say out of all the gas stations here, shell looks the nicest, and chevron coming in second.
