Newbie sort of....

Hello All! Bought my '05 Mini S back in February this year w/77K on her clock. Local dealership had it and I had to have it. Finished in red with white bonnet stripes and a full pano roof, this little baby will run. Love the supercharger teamed with the six speed tranny. Just a real hoot to drive. I've owned them all from mercedes to corvettes and I gotta tell ya, this car is just plain fun to drive.
The dealership completely went over the car i.e. new water pump, plugs, seals and all that stuff up front, new clutch/pressure plate and a bunch of other things that I now don't have to worry about. I just installed four General G Max tires and they are awesome. Plus I've added a few of my own touches like union jack rear view mirror cover, union jack front license plate, union jack rear license plate frame, union jack wheel centers and more.
I'm still waiting for perfect weather to drive her through the twisties here in north central West Virginia. My Cooper S is exactly why I don't drive American cars; they are so boring.
So hello everyone that owns a Mini. YeeHaw, or is that, shall we have a cup o' tea?

Welcome to NAM! I love West Virginia. Been there many times, but not yet with my new (to me) MINI. The rural roads of SW Ohio and Northern KY have been keeping my MINI happy so far.

Motor on!
