On New Year's Eve, I traded my Harley (decided after riding for 18 accident free years that I did not want to become a statistic) and my beautiful 2001 Audi TT with only 19K miles on a new Mini S Convertible with the Cooper Works Engine Kit, brakes, and upgraded to 17" wheels and tires.

This car is a blast. Just had 3M paint protection film applied today so now I'm ready to have fun on all the roads in North Georgia and NC that I have driven for years in my previous vehicles.

 

Looks awesome!! I used to have a motorcycle too, and I like the safety of the MINI and it's just as much fun for me! Welcome to the club.

 

Very nice!

Hope your Harley and your TT went to good homes!

 

Welcome to NAM and enjoy your new MINI!

 

Welcome to NAM, I think you'll be pleased you traded the Audi for the MINI, you'll regret getting rid of the bike this spring.

 

Congrats and welcome!

Lots of great clubs in the Georgia / Carolinas region - join at least one!

Enjoy!

 

A couple of years back, I was Drooling over picking up a used TT for some fun driving. Never pulled the trigger. After a recent heart attack, I figured, it might be now or never, so I picked up a 2007 MCS. It has made both me and my heart happy...
