My wife and I just purchased an 02 Cooper S with 55,000 miles on the odo. Our 2 year old grandson saw the car and immediately named it Luigi after the "Cars" movie character. (Oh yeah it is Liquid Yellow with a white roof) How much fun is it to DRIVE a car intead of just pointing it! I look forward to many years of great advice from all the veteran Mini owners out there!

Hey you're in my neck of the woods!! We live just outside of Waco in China Spring. I've seen a yellow/white MINI parked across from the HEB on Wooded Acres. Perhaps that was Luigi????

Could be, that HEB is our store of choice and we live off Fish Pond Rd. See you on the road!
