Hi all, I've just joined up on this site. Names Gary, from BC. Hoping to gleam all sorts of info from here, and then contribute as well. Recently bought a 2012 R56 and it's a lot of fun (as you all know)!
Welcome to Motoring Alliance the best MINI forum on the interweb !! Watch out for the mod bug, once you catch it your wallet always feels a bit lighter.
Thanks for all the welcomes. I have already gotten into the mod bug and yes, the wallet is a bit thinner. I just wish there were more places in Canada to buy accessories from, then my wallet would be a lot thinner! My R56 is a basic cooper, wish it was an S though. It was in sweet shape at only 18,000 km. Barely broken in. http://www.usedvictoria.com/ReportSelectUsedAdPhoto2?used_ad_id=28048752&position=1&hb=1
Welcome to M/A! Ya gotta love the Cooper...it's not fast like an S, but it is very quick and it can out turn an S with ease. Congrats!
Thanks again guys! I am finding out how good Minis do in monsoons around here. They don't seem to hydroplane even! It's been raining pretty well 80% of the time since i bought her. Can't wait for some sunny days to try out the sunroof!
