Hi all,

Looking forward to learning more about Mini Coopers

Don't have one yet, heard '05 and 6 are the best years.

Thanks,

 

Hi all,

After a couple years of drooling, I'm buying my first Mini, an '05 Mini Cooper S with a few mods to it. I can't wait to start driving it and participating in NAM! I am a 60-something grandfather and this is my first-ever high performance car. I'll try to not get too many speeding tickets.

One question: my wife is still enchanted by the memory of a bud vase her grandfater always had in his car, many moons ago. I'd like to surprise her with something like that in this car, and after a fruitless web search, am concluding I'll just have to find a bud vase that'll fit in the console cup holder (which I've read is lacking in its intended purpose so may work to hold a small bud vase).

Unless anyone knows of such an accessory on the market??

Thanks.

 

Not Cheap, but it looks fancy enough...it just might work??!!

Hello!!
Looking forward of being part of NAM! Motoring in my 2008 Lighting Blue Mini Clubman

 

Six weeks ago I decided my next car would be a Mini Cab. I picked up my 2010 Pepper White Mini ragtop in Annapolis two weeks ago. Dropped it off at a place in Southern Maryland as there is no place yet to park it at home in Virginia. Returned to Virginia before the snow and got to shovel a very long drive before flying to the west coast for the week and after that it took a few days to get home due to the second snow which shut down the Airports in DC area. Then the blizzard and then Washington shutdown tight.
So here it is two weeks later and I have put only the 60 miles from the drive from Annapolis on the Mini and will get back to it after two long weeks. Oh, I parked it under a tree that dropped a limb on it during the blizzard. Folks say it is fine but need to see it myself.
I have been handling anxiety by hunting for stuff about Minis online and and that brought me to NAM and here I am.
Looking forward to the experience

 

I hope your MINI is OK! Welcome to NAM. The official support group for big people with MINI problems... Or is it MINI people with big problems??

Post some pics when you get them.

 

Well, Mini's don't get hurt by no stinkin tree limbs. Checked it out real good and only found a small bark scrape that can be polished out. Unfortunately had to leave it in MD till I sell my old car when the weather breaks. Most people (me excluded) aren't thinking about ragtops while snow is still threatening. I will be there again this weekend though.
