New Resident In MINIville

Hey Everyone!

I stopped by Downtown MINI in Orlando to check out the MINIs. I had never even ridden in one...

My 'thinking' was that if I liked it, I would special order one exactly how I wanted it...

Well, that didn't exactly happen.

I went for a test drive and was instantly HOOKED.

So much so that I just didn't want to wait to have a car built for me. I went ahead and bought a 2007 pepper white MCS the *same day* and drove it home -- this was two days ago.

I have really been enjoying this car! What a great ride.

* And what a great community here at NAB!

-John

I did both. I ordered my MINI and then my dealer had a customer back out of a MINI that was identical to mine.

Enjoy your new MINI and welcome!
