New guy with white and orange Mini

I met a few of you guys at the first Cars and Coffee this year. This is my lightly modified 2005 Mini COoper (no S) performance wise it just has a CAI, will probably add exhaust when the original one dies. Just upgraded tires this year to a set of Yoko S-Drives. 175 to 195 made a huge difference in grip.

S-Line isn't that code for afraid of the power, but really likes the body kit? Is it too soon to get lippy? If so I am sorry.

 

I like this guy. He's got moxie. :lol:

 

Welcome to CR! I saw your car at CC&C also...it's not cute, it's mean. :thumbup:

I like you..

 

That being said, the only other person I know who drives a Mini (non s) is a 50 something woman, who "really loves the gas mileage". :p

 

An S is passable by men as "it's just so fun to drive".

 

S-Line or S8 > Creamsicle shoe box that traps 82mph in the 1/4.

 

 

 

PS: Welcome frisky dingy.

Welcome, not too keen on Minis (except the old ones), but I don't hate em. Plus that little foamish looking intake is so sad just sitting there by itself, I can't bring myself to negative rep you.

 

 

So welcome.

I admit the Mini is not fast, but once it has some momentum it is a lot of fun. Plus it is miles better than the pile of shit Hyundai Accent I had before it, of course that car was punishment from the car gods for putting an Integra into a tree. I prefer AutoX to drag racing, but to each their own.

Nice to see you made it to the party :)

 

I showed my wife the pictures of the Mini fest we had and now she wants to get a Mini if she gets full time at BMW.

 

The thing alot of people don't understand about Mini's is the personal touches owners put on the cars. I had no idea until we looked into getting one and Mini folks really have a passion for making their car fit them.

 

Good to also see you don't the the interwebz as serious business.
