Hi from Miami

Hey all,

Just a first post to say "hello." Long-time lurker, recently joined NAM. Drive a '02 MC, and an '05 MCC (the wife's daily driver).

I've learned A LOT from all of you over the past few months. Thanks, and Motor on!

Welcome! How do you like the MCC? Mine should be coming in a couple of months! See you on the streets of Miami.

Hi!

And thanks! We love the MCC. It's an awesome car. Cool blue too, like the one I see you've ordered. I'll post a pic. It's funny you should ask about the conv. My wife just had an accident in it last Friday. She and I have both had accidents in our MINIs (BOTH not our faults!). Her airbags went off, and they burned her hand and broke a couple bones in it, but in both accidents, the MINIs held up very well. Absolutely no "cockpit intrusion" as they call it.

See you around Miami!

Ken

I hope your wife gets better soon! I see from the pic that I will be driving a clone of your Mini! From the pic, I can see the black/grey leatherette, did you also get the blue top? My wife saw one around the Doral area (around NW 102 ave.) last week, could that have been yours? See you around Miami!

Nope, she has the black top. Are you getting the blue? It's beautiful. You won't regret getting the MCC. What an absolutely fun ride! The coolest is lowering the top with the key remote. Very slick! I don't think she was near Doral. We're in Kendall.

Thanks for the kind thoughts for my wife. She's calmer than when I got hit. But we all walked away, so that's the best part. A good body shop in Miami is HARD to find. Unless you wanna wait 6 months for a repair
