My first post

Hello all,

On Wednesday, I'll be picking up my 08 MCS chilly red with black roof, black bonet stripes, premium pkg, winter pkg and DSC. I sold my 04 Jeep Liberty for a Mini. After test driving one, I couldn't stop smiling. Such a fun car to drive .

I took Thursday and Friday so I can get to know her better . I just have to contain myself for the first 1500 miles. Any tips or suggestions are much appreciated.

Phil

Welcome Phil. Just drive and be happy. I hope the weather is nice for your first few days, nothing like cruising in a Mini on a nice spring day. Find a local Mini Club and start gathering with the coolest people around. Again welcome and enjoy.

Welcome ! I like your color choices but only half the roof is the right color.

You took two days off work to spend with your new MINI... you are going to fit right in around here !!
