View Full Version : Am I really the only MINI owner here?



JennB

Well, I guess it's time I introduced myself. I'm Jenn, 28, live up in Buckhead, Brookhaven specifically.

I'm an accountant. I know, pretty nerdy but it lets me drive this car and I really like it. Sorry, I'm a bit of a nerd. I've been interested in cars since I was a kid. I have a mom that drove a 69 Firebird and loves muscle cars so it was bound to happen. I'm a little more obsessed though.

In my spare time I like to travel as much as possible. I've been to well over half the states and hoping to add some new countries soon. I also really like video games. I'm mostly on the XBox playing Forza or Halo 2 but I've been gaming for years. I was kicking ass in high school at MK and Street Fighter and have never stopped playing. Counterstrike was not good for my grades in college.... but come on.... I was a programming student, what did anyone expect? I like action movies, hate chick flicks. If there are swords, pirates or epic battles, I like them even more.

I just moved back to Atl about a year ago. I'm mostly grew up Columbia, SC but have also lived in Atl before, Charlotte, NC as a child and Indianapolis for 2 years until I moved back here.

Up in Indy I mostly ran with the MINI club up there. Some pretty darn good drivers, too bad there was ice half of the year. I am too southern for that shit.

My recents highlights have been being back in the south and only 2 hours from the Dragon, which I love. I went to SEMA last year, I go to the Chicago auto show every year, I've done a few MINI rallies and lots of organized drives.

Not sure what else there is to say so here are some pics.

My car.

2006 MINI Cooper S
6-Speed
16% reduced supercharger pulley
CAI
comp. rear sway bar
lowering springs
tint
LSD
mesh grills on the front
removed and painted the side grills on the A panel black
denso iridium plugs
17" Rota Sub Zeros - flat black with custom red lip painted to match body color
215/45 17 Falken GR Beta 415's
A few factory bits are the panoramic sunroof, heated seats, Harmon Kardon sound system, fogs lights on the front and rear, power everything, anthracite interior and headliner that makes the entire inside of the car nearly black
Last dyno put me at about 190 at the crank, that was before the CAI though so I'd guess about 197-200 now. Not bad for a 2500 lb car

Much more to come. Next on my list are bigger brakes, exhaust and software upgrade. And of course... track time!

(I snagged this one from someone I know, great pic though, the color was better than in mine)

And a few from when she was a little more stock... come on.. the car is only 5 months old

Me, having a "moment"

And finally, my old MINI. This was my 2004 Cooper S. Got her in May of 04 and traded her in for the 06 just a few months ago. Yes, I like red. A lot.

I dun told you I was!

Unfortunately, I didn't do all the work. I did some of the cosmetic stuff and all of the interior things that I didn't list and certainly picked out everything but I have a friend up in Indy who knows MINIs inside and out that does the work on all of my cars. This one and the last. I am an apartment dweller with no garage and Post is pretty picky about people doing much car work in the parking lots here... asshats. One day I will have tools and space.. oh yes.. one day.

And I realized I left some of my planned mods off of the list. Schroth harness! I slide around so much on those seats when I'm up in the mountains. Yesterdays drive made me realize how much I need one. I also already have some adjustment in my stock rear control arms, but I want some aftermarkets with a little more and some camber plates as well.

Blastphemy! BMW is a lovely place to visit. Maybe once they get the plant tours up and running again, some of us can head over and then take the mountain roads back. They are switching over for new models right now.

And I've been looking at the harnesses for a couple of years but my 04 MINI had cloth seats and it wasn't as much of a problem. If I don't get the harnesses soon, I have to at least get a belt lock to hold me in tighter. Schroth makes a quick fit one for the MINI and I really like the idea of taking it out if I need to.

If you've ever played CS competitively, you'll notice there's quite a few girls that are really good at CS... most from the west coast, vancouver, and Europe... so nah, I wouldn't be ashamed to lose to a girl.

However when it comes to fighting games like Street Fighter... I dunno any good girls 'cept a few Asians... =x
