Virginia newcomer--1st MINI

Sold the Range Rover and bought a 2007 Cabrio S--blue with white stripes and most of the options, including automatic--because some family members have given up on changing gears in Virginia traffic.
Neighbor saw the car in our driveway and two days later he bought himself a red cabrio S with black stripes--maybe we should start a local club!

Congrats on the new Mini! What a beautiful color combination! I also traded in a luxury SUV for the Mini and haven't regretted it yet.
