Got my new MINI this weekend!

well my fiance ordered one and got it back in october and i fell in love with it. i was, at the time, driving a '06 toyota corolla which of course in no way compared. so when we went in on friday to replace a sensor for our '07 PW mini i saw this amazing MY/B mini just like the one i wanted to configure. well my fiance took me back saturday and said "lets take him home"! so here he is!!!

He's a LOOKER !!



That's quite a step up from a Corolla. You must be on cloud 9 or 10 right about now.

Sharp MINI, I would say she is a keeper (fiance).

Nice set of pictures, great color combo. What are all the packages?

Welcome to NAM!! Congrats on your new MINI. I'm sure you and Gordon will bond and many adventures together. So when you and your finance go out together, do you flip a coin or what??

I'd say you have 2 keepers... the MINIs and your fiance!
Isn't it cool to walk into a dealer and find a MINI just like your configurations.
That really gets the heart pumping!

i think i would have to agree it was totally awesome to walk in and see it just there! definately convinced me to get it sooner rather than later. as for keeping all of them.... thats is definately my intention!

Congrats on the new mini. My fiance did the same thing. I picked up mine 3 months ago and he fell in love with it. He just got his 3 days ago. They look great in the driveway together.

Have fun motoring!!!

omg you have no idea how often we argue about whos driving!!!! our pw mini is manual, which im too lazy to learn, and mine is auto. since he can drive both even if i can convince him to go out in mine he wants to drive him!!!! it takes alot of bickering back in forth between both of us for us to decide who is going to drive. i think we should just go out in both that way we're both happy!

Either way, you both win. Two MINIs and you share a common love of the MINI. Enjoy.

I probably mis-read the posting.

Sorry for the double posting, but you could do with what another couple with two MINIs do. They take both MINIs and park side by side. See some of Tigswantstoplay's postings.

haha funny you mention that. we went down to south motors mini today to pick up his (had to get it serviced) and we spent a while after talking to the mechanic (since we know him personally). they were both parked right next to eachother and tons of the BMW owners were staring in awe. it was kind of cool.
