Hi, been looking at the forum for about a year now and finally bought an 07 S Dark Silver. Its my wifes car and first mini. We bought it from a member here in MI -velocimini. The car was basically new and well cared for, thanks Johannes!
Thought we should say hello and see if anyone is from NW Ohio area?

 

Hey there and congrats on the new MINI! Not from Ohio....but just wanted to say welcome, and safe motoring to you!

 

congrats ...I'm from Akron...

 

Congrats! From Copley orignialy.

 

Columbus Area here. Check out the Mid-Ohio Motoring forum for more information. Welcome to the addiction...and look us up when you get a chance.

 

Congratulations!
You're gonna love it!

 

Congratulations! You will love it! - I don't live in NW Ohio, but it's where I grew up. We go back to B.G. three or four times a year. Unfortunately, my wife doesn't let me bring my MINI - a bit small for 2 kids, dog, & "stuff".

 

We live in Findlay and graduated from BGSU!!

 

My daughter is a freshman at BG. I make the trip from Powell north to BG about every other month. Good school but too windy and cold for an Old Fart like me .

 

Well I guess this will work as my first post too. I'm over on the NE side of Ohio in Youngstown. I just ordered my Cooper S Clubman this on Saturday.

 

NE Ohio here too! Not very many MINI's in the Y-town area. Mine is due the middle of April, and I just said to DH tonight, that I'm in need of a MINI fix.

ahfs1-where did you order through? Mine is coming from Classic.

 

Below youngstown here!

GemsCoop - I went out of Pittsburgh
First because I read a lot of great things about them on the net, and this site. Then the fact the dealership is closer then Cleveland helped too.
Second, well a true test drive is driving in rush hour traffic in the Burgh, the hills and curves, well, I walked away from my drive feeling as though I had a tiny taste of what my car will do...once they build it...

As far as not seeing a whole lot in the Y-town area, I think that's going to change real soon...at least judging by the people posting on this forum!

I was told I should see going into production the first week of May...but also to expect getting bumped up too. I figure it this way, I would rather wait and have the exact vehicle I want, then one that people got to drive as a demo. Plus this gives me time to save more money and as a contradiction, buy a few things in preparation.

So the middle of April? You can almost taste it!

 

Welcome from Cuyahoga Falls, OH(near Akron). I'll give you a wave when I see you.

 

The part that will be the hardest with my transition will be the wave.
Right now, I have a Jeep Wrangler, and we wave at each other.
I just might end up being that person who forgets what vehicle I am, and waves at MCs and Jeeps! (I've seen it happen)
Maybe I'm such a friendly person...I require an excuse to greet others?
Colinmini - I'll wave back

 

What color did you go with?

 

I went with the Lightning Blue
It was a hard choice, but I figured I'd keep the pattern going with all my vehicles being blue. Minus one, I had a black cutlass, but never again will I go with an entirely black vehicle. They look sharp when they're clean, but the second the wind blows, they're dirty again.
