    Hello to the Motoring Alliance community.

    My name is Andrew and I am from Northern New Jersey, USA. I just purchased an 05 Mini Cooper S in British Racing Green with 55k miles. I have wanted a MINI for years but have had trouble finding exactly what I want. So far, I am absolutely in love with my MINI (Charlotte) and can't wait to start going to some meets and get to see other members rides.

    My mini came with some options that I absolutely love, Rally lights, panoramic sunroof, Aero kit and black rims. To my surprise when I first got her home I opened the bonnet and noticed the JCW intake that the dealer forgot to mention. What a good surprise!

    Again I am very excited about the journey I will have with my MINI and I am very happy to be a part of the MINI community.

    -Andrew

    Welcome. I wonder if there are any more mods the dealer forgot to mention? Either way the mod bug will soon enough bite you :beer

    Don,

    I did enhance it a little bit. The picture I just uploaded should be a little better.

    I want to get Euro plates for Charlotte. Problem is, I don't know what I want to put on them or the best place to get them
