My name is RuFus, and I am a new (to my owner) MINI. We have been together now for 12 days, and we're just starting to learn about each other.
A little about me. I'm 3 years old, a Cooper S, and my previous owner did not drive me very much. Less than 3000 miles per year. This new guy is MUCH better. We've been motoring a lot lately, and he's a lot more fun. As you can see from my picture, I am Chilli Red, with a White top and white stripes. I've got a nice window on top so both of us can enjoy the sun and the sky, at least when it's not raining. Because we live here in NJ, I have the cold weather package, to keep somebody's butt warm when it gets cold. I am pretty much all stock right now, but this new guy has some thoughts about changes. The first thing he wants is an IPOD connector, cause he has some great tunes, and that makes the motoring even better. And new tires, sooner than later. These run flats are hard on my body, it's like wearing uncomfortable shoes, you know.
The boss says we might go on a small rally this weekend. Boy I hope so. Sounds like a lot of fun.
Anyway enough about me. My picture is below. If you see me on the streets, give me a wink and a nod.
Happy motoring
ps - I need a bath. Got one a few days ago, but all the rain lately has me a bit scruffy. Sorry about that!
Great introduction. I haven't seen a MINI's prospective before.
Along these lines...
Do you think car years work out like dog years? I mean, a dog is in it's prime at 3, it could be said that a car is as well. While an old dog at 18 is similar to an old car at 18, near the end of it's service life.
