New MINI Enthusiast

Hey! I just financed my first MINI and joined the group. Already totally in love with the thing!!! By far the best car I've ever had.

Previous vehicles:
94 Crown Victoria
91 Mitsubishi Eclipse
98 Chevy S-10

Look forward to talking MINI's with everyone.

Welcome! This seems like quite a departure for you given your previous vehicles...with the exception of the Eclipse, you've been driving large!

Enjoy your very attractive Mini!

Very nice. I like the stripes on the doors. I've never seen those before.

Are you going to join the St. Louis club?

Thanks! Actually one car I didn't list was my very first car, an 83 Buick LeSabre now that was an oceanliner! The S-10 was real sporty too for a basic pickup, had a 2litre 4-cyl engine and a lot of spunkyness. My MINI is by far the best though.

Very nice. I like the stripes on the doors. I've never seen those before.

I've already joined the club! Haven't paid my dues yet though I've read your thread on getting a rallye together in central MO. I'll definately go if it's a free weekend for me. Once dates are being discussed I'll get in on the dialogue.

I used to watch european rally sports on TV when I was a lot younger and have seen some diagonal stripes on doors on the tracks. I never thought I'd own one though.

Thank you all for your hospitality! Look forward to a little motoring talk with everyone!

The date should be finalized today or tomorrow. An official announcement should be coming soon. Shoot me a PM anytime you might be headed this way, though. I believe our MINI's would get along very well!

My wife lived in St. Charles for a couple of years. Nice place.
