I am a first time mini owner and I am writing to introduce myself.
I bought my 2002 Cooper S a little over a month ago and I will have to say this is one of the best and most fun car I have ever driven. I never once in my life thought I would drive a mini, and now I look back and cant believe i ever thought that. I love modifying and changing things so I am sure I will be on this website all the time looking for cool new things to do to my mini!

 

Welcome to the Cult that is Mini.

 

I'm new too. On Friday I bought a low mileage 2003 JCW for my wife (& me too!) for our anniversary. We have wanted one since they first came out in 2002. Our new one drive like new. It was worth the wait.

 

Welcome to the club! Where in Colorado do you live? I'm in LoDo and have an Indi Blue '03 R53 JCW

 

scolburn, that is an interesting history of motoring. I like your space photo in your sig as well.

 

Thanks, Rockridge.

While I can take at least partial credit for my auto history, full credit for the "Space Mini" goes to my wife, the artist of the family.

A couple of interesting cars that got away were a Porsche 356 and a sweet '73 Citroen Maserati SM I found in Austin just before moving to Portland. I still lust after one of those - as long as I can have a plumber on retainer.

Later this month on the weekend of the 20th, I'll be visiting Massachusetts for my 40th (!! ) college reunion at Clark U in Worcester. I'll spend Thursday & Sunday evenings at my sister's in Somerville. Anything interesting going on Monday the 22nd?
