Hello!

Wanted to say hi... being a bit of a lurker as I'm doing some research. Want a MCS as soon as some other finances are taken care of .

I'm mostly looking at personal experiences from current owners on different options. Ideally my MCS would be a daily driver and may possibly see 1 track day a month of road racing, so the options I'm really looking at are the sport suspension and the LSD. I'll be searching later for people's thoughts on these options, but if someone wanted to give their opinion again here it'd be greatly appreciated.


Oh, and I can't decide between BRG/W and LiB/W. Or do I want /B?

I've basically spent the past 2 days at work on the MINIUSA.COM configurator .

That should be all for my rather long-winded intro!

Welcome to NAM. I would go with the BRG/W, wait I did.. Good luck you will spend a lot more time on the configuration webpage.
Good luck and keep us informed.

Welcome to NAM, Tessai!

Actually, color is one of the hardest choices for lots of us...folks are known to change their minds many times, even after putting in their order with their Motoring Advisors!

The LSD and sport suspension sound like a must if you plan to do some track days! Have fun on the configurator. I still go there and build dream MINIs on a regular basis!

I must say, of all the car forums I've been on (VWs and Mazdas) this one certainly gives the warmest welcome!

That's cause we're the nicest too!

You should meet us all at MOTD this year and put faces to all of our names! (Even if you don't have a MINI yet... I'm sure a bunch of us would take you with us for a trip on the Dragon. )

If by "Wild West" you mean "Next Town Over"

I might be swinging by the Dallas MINI dealership for some test-driving action this weekend. I may even check out some of the local events to see what these cars can do! .
