    Hey all,

    I'm new to MA, but not to MINIs in general - I have been on NAM for awhile, and wanted to join the ranks here.

    A bit about myself...
    I am 21 and the proud joint owner of a LY/B '05 MCS named Zoomnis. I was the one who convinced my parents to take their first look at a MINI, and they were hooked as soon as they took a test drive. Granted this was in 2005, so I couldn't even drive the car yet! We took delivery of Zoomnis in April of 2005, and it was the car I learned to drive on. I picked up driving a manual transmission immediately, and over the years I've really gotten to know the car well. I've done my share of mods, and I'm hoping for some more still.

    I'm away for the weekend and on my laptop, but when I get home and on my desktop I'll post some pictures.

    -Paul

    Welcome Paul! When my mom wanted to downsize from her 323Ci I kept suggesting the MINI. She opted for ordering a Merc C300 (without test driving). Six months later I wasn't surprised she ordered a base 3-series. She said she wanted something "smaller". I kept dropping hints if you want smaller, get a MINI. No such luck. Sounds like you had more success with your parents. Good going! :Thumbsup:

    Eggggcellent... :cornut:

    It's nice to have a place to come and chat. I can stand the snarky remarks and random happenings on NAM, but why deal with them if there are other places :D

    By the way, my next perspective mod: RMW Street header. If anyone knows the best way to come across one for cheap... please let me know :)

    Thanks for becoming a member, I do appreciate it. Just so you know this site is actively managed, I try to keep it open all day when working on other things. If you have questions, comments (good or bad) or concerns, I'm just a PM or email away.
