Hi everyone! My name is Krislam and I purchased my first mini over the weekend and I'm so in love!! :] I used to drive a Mazda 3 and lost it in an accident (RIP MZ3) and decided to venture out and get a new car and landed with this bad boy. His name is Murfee and he's absolutely dashing ^_^ I'm planning to play with him a little as soon as I familiarize myself with the car.

I'm not entirely new to the forum world (I used to post in MOCC) but I am new here... Nice to meet all of you :}

And here's Murfee the day we bought him <3



Happy reading!

 

Nice looking Mini and welcome to the insanity.

 

Welcome and enjoy!

 

Hey welcome! I've only ever seen one other mini that color where I live.. its pretty unique

 

Welcome to NAM!
Murfee is a good looking' MINI!

 

Love the yellow, Murfee!!!

 

Welcome, and don't be surprised when you get sucked into the culture of doing things with your car (mods and whatnot), because I already have a list of things I want to do to my car and I've only owned mine for three months!

 

Modding is for sure addicting!!!!!!

 

Hi Krislam, welcome to NAM. Is that a "mellow yellow". What year is your MINI.

 

Sigh. Yellow's my favorite; alas, not offered any longer. Nice looking ride!

 

WELCOME to the Family!

 

Welcome!

 

welcome! looks cute!

 

He is a 2009 Mellow Yellow..

Ahh, thanks everyone! <3 I feel so welcomed hehe..

I was supposed to get a brand new red one, but then saw this one and I just HAD to get it. It does suck that they don't make it in this color anymore, but I guess it adds more value to the car (:

And as far as modding my first priority is to get him tinted x] socal weather is going to kick up soon and last thing I need is a toaster car when I go inside xDD\

Then lowering him...Oh wait no.. HID lights? Mmm, I wonder if that would look good on the yellow..definitely new rims though, I'm thinking yellow or white..

Ahhh the options!! Hahaha..

 

Awesome!! MYs are unique and we are a rare breed. little more attitude.

 

ha! the choice of upgrades is part of the fun. I have a couple of thoughts to throw out at ya if you don't mind?

If it's handling you like, I suggest an upgraded rear sway bar and front strut brace for a good bolt on start.
I'm not sure why but I found that the stock Cooper feels as though it handles better than the S,,,my imagination maybe, or could be the lighter weight?

Front lamps look awesome! I have some and my lady wants some. But she's not getting them because they are expensive to install and ya can't have a hack doing electrical work! They just happen to be on my car when I bought it. I think you'll find the stock lamps more than ample for lighting !

If you have 'em installed , be careful they don't put holes in either your bumper or hood! (I'm sure you wouldn't but some techs will tell ya you have to)

Have a great time with your new car!!
