KChavez Posted January 15, 2023 Report Posted January 15, 2023 (edited) Hi DC Metro Mini friends! I’m so excited to join this group! I learned how to drive in my parents’ 2006 five-speed coupe. I’ve watched my parents go through a few coupes and clubmans. I’ve driven in Mini rallies in upstate NY and have done the Mini wave for as long as I can remember. Now that I am in my early 30s, I decided to take the plunge and purchase a black on black 2021 JCW Mini S (now accepting names and custom license plate ideas). Also looking for some suggestions for custom shifters- ideally looking for a q-ball one. I would love to also participate in any events/drives that are planned in 2023. I’d like to fully embrace my Mini pride Edited January 15, 2023 by KChavez Typo 1
