Bert Posted May 2, 2012 Report Posted May 2, 2012 Welcome Eddie, Penny, and Nutty. Love the name, you will have to explain that one. :top: I hope intro. Ernie to Nutty someday. We just joined in March and I took delivery of Ernie just 4 weeks ago. Bert. Ernie McStreet's facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/erniemcs.street
Eddie Posted May 2, 2012 Author Report Posted May 2, 2012 Most definitely I can't wait for these events. I'm already thinking of ways to customize Nutty to be a little more me. And yes explaining Nutty will be saved for another time. :motor: Will soon be DECHROMED.. 2013 Mini Countryman All 4 S (Gassy) Absolute Black [sIGPIC]

Eddie Posted May 3, 2012 Author Report Posted May 3, 2012 What are your plans? Anything performance wise, or just cosmetics? I was thinking a combination of both performance and cosmetics actually. I'm sure this will take some time but Part of the reason I am interested in joining this club is to get a variety of ideas from all different people to pick and choose the best that fits for me.. It's been less that 2 weeks that I've had Nutty, but already... She's got a Micky antennae topper- 3 badges from GoBadges Will soon be DECHROMED.. 2013 Mini Countryman All 4 S (Gassy) Absolute Black [sIGPIC]

The thing with the First gens, and second gens, is they have been out for some time, and there are loads of aftermarket play things, tips, tricks, and accessories. I am not sure what all is out there for the Countryman, well, because I don't own one and haven't looked, lol. Anywho, I am sure that as time goes on, the market for parts/go-fast goodies, and cosmetic accessories will open up. That is one UNIVERSAL draw to the MINI brand, imo, the ability to personalize. As you get involved, and head out to some meets, you will see how cool it is to see so many of the same car, yet each is as individual, and unique as their owners. Welcome to the MIN family! Just curious, what attracted you to the MINI world, and the Countryman? flickr

Eddie Posted May 4, 2012 Author Report Posted May 4, 2012 Just curious, what attracted you to the MINI world, and the Countryman? Well... I've come from Tahoes/Expedition type cars.. But I knew I wanted a fun car low on gas consumption. So When I came across the Countryman, that really fit what I was looking for.. 4 doors/fun ride.. I actually fought the urge to buy a Countryman for about 2 months.. Just to see if that was the car I really wanted. Side note: I sit in traffic 30mins a day for a 10mile run to work. I realized I wanted something that would make me smile when I was in the car going to and from work. NOTHING came close to this car. SO.. After all things considered... Nutty came home and is sitting in my lot. I Swear, I SMILE every time I get in the car. Will soon be DECHROMED.. 2013 Mini Countryman All 4 S (Gassy) Absolute Black [sIGPIC]
Bert Posted May 4, 2012 Report Posted May 4, 2012 I know what you mean. These things are so much fun! I not only smile, my wife has noticed that I thank her almost everyday for not insisting that I get a Honda Fit. (It was btwn the MINI and the Fit.) I am having a lot of fun and noticing a lot of smiles when I drive. :motor: Ernie McStreet's facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/erniemcs.street
Eddie Posted May 4, 2012 Author Report Posted May 4, 2012 I would probably be crying if I ended up with a Honda Fit (No offense to anyone who drives one- just doesn't fit me..at All).. hahahaha Will soon be DECHROMED.. 2013 Mini Countryman All 4 S (Gassy) Absolute Black [sIGPIC]
TATTRAT Posted May 5, 2012 Report Posted May 5, 2012 I think most MINI owners get more smiles per gallon than any other car I can think of( within a reasonable range, not talking about Lambos, Ferraris, or supercars). The only thing that bums me out, is the MINI drivers that have a MINI, but it's just a complete utilitarian vehicle to them, they never wave, smile, or seem to be enjoying the drive! WTF? I guess I(we) are just a little more passionate about our little cars of Fun! flickr

Eddie Posted May 8, 2012 Author Report Posted May 8, 2012 Nutty is going to be fine.. Unfortunately there is some paint rubb and stress cracks on the bumper near the license plate.. Looks like the paint will chip off soon. Will soon be DECHROMED.. 2013 Mini Countryman All 4 S (Gassy) Absolute Black [sIGPIC]
TGGRRR (Ali) Posted May 8, 2012 Report Posted May 8, 2012 Something similar happened to my husbands MINI, it's really annoying Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
LaurenMini Posted May 8, 2012 Report Posted May 8, 2012 Welcome Nutty and family. I'm a fellow Countryman owner, with a Mickey antenna topper and some GoBadges! Mickey has a lot of bells and whistles from the manufacturer, and I don't think he'll be getting anything else done. Just not a modify your car person. But I am a personalize your car person! Mickey can't wait to meet a fellow All4! 2012 R60 | Home 9/16/11!

Of course I'm still on my honeymoon :love: so I get misty just at the sight of my new buggy.
