Hey what's up everyone. I was checking out the forum today and decided to join. I just got my 2005 Mini Cooper S on the 20th of April. I am still in the break in period with it but loving driving it every minute I can. Got some plans in mind for upgrades but none yet. I am from IL but stationed over in Germany right now. Where is everyone else from. Well hope we get a great forum going here and start getting aloot of members.

Nino, Welcome to MCF. Nice MINI I almost bought that color but I went with EB/W. I am From SoCal. Be safe and thanks for your service to our country!:D

RE: New Guy
 

Yes they are

Thanks guys.

RE: New Guy
 

do you have the MINI there?

RE: New Guy
 

Yes I have the Mini over here in Germany. Let me tell you it is awesome. Pretty much no speed limit and the roads here are windy as hell. It is a lot of fun.

RE: New Guy
 

That's awesome. What's the fastest you've gone?

RE: New Guy
 

The Mini only has 250 miles on it so I am still breaking it in. I own a BMW 525I that I have had well over 120mph on the autobahn. The funny thing was that while i was crusing at 120mph I got passed like i was standing still by a Porsche. Don't get me wrong they do have spped limits out here but they just don't really enforce them unless they catch you. They have a wicked camera system out here that takes pictures of you if you are speeding. We will see how fast I can get it once I get the miles on it.
