New to MINI, new to the forum...please be gentle.

Post by kd_in_kc »

Good afternoon,

I made a purchase over the weekend of a new MINI Paceman (S All4) and wanted to say hi in the forums. I'm looking forward to meeting some of you in person at the drive-in events.

I also saw the MINIs in the Ozarks link and may have to make it down there again this year. My wife and I already make it down to Harrison for a Triumph RAT event we attend yearly. Any questions about roads east of Eureka Springs, I'm more than glad to offer advice or information. I'm also contemplating driving out to NC next month for my nieces graduation to get a good break in on "Clarkson".

No it's not mini MINI. But it's something I've liked the look of since I saw one on the Plaza last year. (I kinda feel like people would talk behind my back like the 1950's "Ralph did you see Jim when and bought one of those BIG beds?") I love the look of the original, have been interested in the brand since it came back in 2001, and hope I have many smiles per mile in the future.

That's the same spot we did a Photoshoot at a few years ago. It's a great location

Thanks! Although I'll be taking some with better gear this weekend if weather permits. I only took those with my iPhone.

It's at the dealer getting bonnet stripes and tint but I've already started looking at other things including some replacement LEDs , definitely the sport antenna, and possibly the alarm. I was surprised that the horn doesn't blow or a tone when I locked the car. Anyone know how difficult is it to get the alarm installed?

I was also somewhat surprised that there were so many 194 incandescent bulbs when there was so much LED 'lounge' lighting already in the car.
