Hi guy's. This my first post to the forums here.. I was waiting until I actualy had picked my mini up but I just couldn't wait..

Hi!!

I pick up my Jet Black CooperS with sun roof and full leather Chilli pack next saturday.. It's fnny really.. I have always wanted a mini (original cooper s) a porsche and a Aston martin..
I could have got a second hand Boxter, but after driving the new Mini Cooper S I was hooked... So I am taking the mini driving course as soon as possible and then I'll be having to get my cams license too.. My first sports car and I want to race the world..


So what I want to do is keep up with whats going on in the QLD mini world so I can come out with my wife and 1 yr old son on drive days etc....

Welcome Chris.

Your car sounds awesome!! Like Mike said, you are in the right state for those sort of activities...

I hope your car brings you as much pleasure as most of the peoples cars on here do.

Keep us up to date on your progress, and be sure to post some pics of the black beast!!

(Keep and eye out for the other black beast in QLD - Ken Henry's car...)

Welcome to MINI2 Chris. Black really suits the MINIs, as does EB, IB, LY, BRG, CR, PW, HB, BEP, PS, DS, SG, VR* ... you chose well!



Cheers Liam

Hi,

Welcome

Congratulations on your car I'm sure you will enjoy it

If you are in Queensland and interested in motorsport, drop Ken Henry a PM He regularily goes to the track, and I'm sure he can point you in the right direction. He also has a black mini, the awesome "Black Betty"

I hope we can catch up at some stage

Cheers

Robbo

Hi Chris and welcome.

Good to see another Brisbane MINI owner here. If you're ever after a run with us MINI owners we have a couple a month. We also catch up for dinner most Thursday nights too if you ever want to come along.

Feel free to call me on 0416 175 062. Also check out our site at www.clubmini.com.au

Welcome oxy,
Send pictures when you get your baby. We are suppose to get ours soon, hopefully before Christmas. I checked the ships movement this AM and saw she is currently at:
Dec-12-2004 06:00 40 54' N 51 36' W WRYX (her call sign)

So it is fun to track her. Of course I'm going out of town today, be back Thursday, so it will make time go faster since I can't get on a computer easily where I'll be (doing a cruise).

Good luck, I'll look for pictures when I get back.
