New owner from Alabama

Hi, I'm Jason and I live in Huntsville, Alabama. Last week, I went to a dealership to buy an 02 blue MINI and it had already sold So, I bought an Audi TT convertible, which I drove for a few days and was unhappy with so, I returned to the dealer and traded for an 04 Silver MINI (non-S) with 24k miles on it. I probably paid too much but, I've wanted a MINI since the new body was released. I love the older ones too but, they're way too small for me I know very little about these cars so, I will probably be asking lots of questions in the months to come. I'd like to dress it up a little with some chrome accent pieces, is Mini Mania a good site to buy from? What other sites are out there that sell all sorts of cool accessories? Thanks, Jason

Hi, Jason. I'm in Huntsville also and am part of Rocket City MINI. Welcome to the MINI world.

MINI Mania is a reputable site that has been around for quite a while. You can find other vendors here on NAM.

BTW, we'll be getting together next Monday, the 13th, at Pete's BBQ at 255 Pratt Avenue. MINIs start showing around 5:30 so come by so we can check out your MINI.

Oh, and if you're around the Old Airport this saturday there will be a few of us running Autocross.

Hi Jason! Welcome!
I love your story about wanting a MINI, not getting a MINI, then getting rid of the NON-MINI to get a MINI! That's great!
