Hey everyone. Just stopping in to introduce myself. I've got a 2010 Cooper S. She's in the shop currently getting a new clutch and flywheel. Otherwise mostly stock for now.

New clutch and flywheel already? What's up or just mods?
We need pics!

Loving my '05 MCS supercharge monster. I have no problemo with this one like you might hear. I don't drive her hard. One time per tank, I'll let r run a bit ..or bit more when somebody runs up be hind me on the country roads. Ha. I indeed let the car behind me know what not to do. Mostly SUV's ha! Strange. Watch your oil level and coolant levels. See ya! is my word for them.

She's got 81k miles already. Had been slipping for a few months and completely failed last Monday. Decided to go aftermarket rather than stock. No major mods yet. Hoping to make some more power eventually but it's not in the budget yet.

Welcome to NAM, 2fastforU and congrats on your new MINI. Sounds like you have a little maintenance to perform on your Cooper S. We can't wait to see some pics as soon as it's finished. Happy motoring and please don't forget to promote the MINI wave.
