    I was Googling for JCW 380 injectors to get a feel for price and saw an older for-sale post on MA. Saw an active community and had to join the fun!

    Hi everyone. I thought I'd joined this forum in 2010 when I bought my 2010 Copper S but I seemed to have disappeared! Anyway, hello (again) :cool:

    Found this website in a link on the Mini's on the Dragon website. Added my Mini S to the family in November 2012. Have never had a car I loved this much before, excited to meet more more Mini enthusiasts.

    Welcome, thanks for joining Motoring Alliance, the FUN and Friendly MINI Community.

    A Dragon Local I see... Can you tell about Richy Kreme? We have our inaugural Donuts on the Dragon run going there.

    Richy Kreme Donuts is located at 2601 E. Broadway in Maryville. This is a little hole in the wall that makes the best donuts ever. They open fairly early but close when they sell out, no left over donuts sold the next day here. Almost no parking at the shop, but a large parking lot across the road at the Eagleton ballpark. If you need donut coordination, let me know. We could probably help. If you need a lot, they can be preordered for pick up.

    Been reading the forums for a while and finally took the time to sign up.

    Have two MINIs, 2003 Electric Blue MINI Cooper S, lots of mods and a brand new 2012 Chili Red MINI Cooper S Countryman.

    I'll update my profile and pics on here shortly.

    Many firsts

    Hello Nathan,
    Thanks for the greeting. At the age of 67,there are many firsts for me here. First for a convertable; a two seater; a Mini cooper (roadster 2013); a car I really have to care for; never used any type of forum so if I don't do this right please let me know it.
    I decided to join so I can get suggestions on my new car...ie; floor mats, decals, seat covers, etc etc. Basically to spiff it up. I have had it 9 days so far.
    Sooooooo, if I did this right please let me know if I am communicating with someone or all in the forum.
    Thanks,Tom

    Lurked first, then joined

    I found this site by doing a Google search for "Mini Forums." I looked at all of them, and I joined this one first - the day I ordered my JCW Hardtop. The car was built May 2, and now I'm waiting for news of its being loaded onto a boat.

    I was fortunate enough to know about the site before owning a mini, thanks to CHKMINI.
