Hi my name is Gerti... (my mommy named me) And I am a 2006 Mini Cooper S with Xenon head lights, Sports Package, Cold Weather Package, Blue tooth and the other normal ammenities. I may only have 168HP, but..... I am freakin fast as hell, my dad says I am faster from 30 mph to 130 mph than his old baby.......the Bullitt. Daddy says he will miss his Bullitt but... i am a worthy replacement. I hope you welcome me on board. Daddy says I should be home by 20 January 2008... I cant wait.

Congrats on the car, dude!! She looks really great. I remember when I test-drove the Cooper S, it was not nearly as powerful as my car, but I really liked the low-end torque. The supercharger kicks in at 1,300 or 1,500 rpm's and then the engine just rushes to redline!

Tom, I think you are thinking that the car is the new updated 2007 MINI with the turbo motor (R56), but it's an R53 with the supercharger.

Hi Gerti

Welcome...

Nice to have more MINI activity here.

There are performance upgrades for MINI's, like different pulleys, brakes and other things, but be careful 'cos they might void warrantee.

Congrats on the new arrival,
(on the 20th)

Well all went well and she is now home with me. I am in love.......... The exhaust mixed with the Supercharger whine is awsome to hear. She holds the road like no ones business and is pretty damn fast on a straight away.... had her at 140 mph on the Autobahn this afternoon........ almost redline though.
