Hello all,

 Randie here you can call me RC; Little about me, bought my first mini cooper after months of reading on different forums and getting opinions from some very eager enthusiast. I broke down and went with an 04 R53 black on black with 87,000 miles at the time. Haven't came up with a name for her yet. Most said get a new mini but I wanted something I customize  was out of warranty and have a plethora of after market parts available.Drool My end game is customize something to my liking then I will purchase a much newer model i.e.: 2014 or 2015 model then customize it too... Saw and Idea on a site guy put an iPad mini in between the two pillars and relocated the radio into the glove box but figured it myself on what needed to be done, majority of the comments said it was fake. I am sure others have done it also however, I like the idea of having XM Pandora internet access etc all in one location with out breaking the bank.... that is all have completed so far Some idiot backed into my baby on Christmas EveUnhappy so my car is in the getting a new front end. Hood Fender grills and lights already miss driving her but should have her back on the road by next week knock on wood.... could not get the hood open after the accident so don't know what damage was caused under there, we shall see.Drive

Congrats on the new car. Sounds like you will fit right in with this club with your desire to mod and customize your car. Would love to see  pick of your iPad install when you get a chance.

If your car was hit on Christmas Eve, then perhaps her name should be something like "Grandma"...as in "Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer...."

Hopefully you are back up and running soon.  We all know how unpleasant being Mini-less feels!

Yay, she is complete now I can continue my project. Have to figure out how I am going to build the mount for the radio in the glove box.

I'm thinking that maybe it was previously owned by a club member.
