    Hello.

    I've had him for less than a year. It's an early '02 MCS and he had 62K when I got him in June and its sitting now at 70K.

    I've added 17' Team Dynamics ProRace 1.2s, LCA Powerflex bushings, and currently in the processing of blacking out most of the chrome. I've also gotten some Polks 6.5's in the front with dynamatting and will be doing some Infinity's in the back with dynamat when the time allows.

    No major issues except the Airbag light being on which was fixed under the 10yr/100K warranty and so far has just been a blast to drive. The LCA poly bushings make from Greasy's Garage and a super alignment from Scott at Tire & Wheel Performance Center make this one of the most comfortable highway cruisers i've ever owned.

    I believe it came with all options, but being an early '02, the printout from MINI just states a general "All Options Checked" with nothing specfic (LSD? Sport Suspension or Sport Suspension +?)

    I've yet to give a name, but nothing really hasn't stood out.

    I don't like beating on my car since I want to keep him forever and it was the car I regret not having when it first came out .. but ended up joining and being stationed overseas never gave me an opportunity to get one.
    Just my luck I got a hand me down Honda just the other day so now I can drive it as my garage queen/weekend warrior.

    Oh yeah, btw .. I came from the NAM site and ive been perusing there for a while, but i just anted to expand.

    Welcome!! Many of us are on both sites, but to be honest, the less corporate feel here gets a lot of honest input when it comes to products!!
