1st post

Just wanted to say Hi!
Picked up my MC on 3/31 from MINI of Peabody. I took a NFR MINI with cold weather, Premium packages and sport seats. I think that this has been the only vehicle that I've purchased without any buyers remorse. Passed 3600 miles today and I'm still smiling . Have the 15" wheels for the potholes in NH.

Yes I was surprised at how busy they were. I stopped by late one Sunday just to see if I fit , 6-5. Then I came back a few weeks later on a Saturday, they asked if I had an appointment; Well with all the people buying they took care of me even without one.
And that's a nice road for MINIs.

Hi! I've only had my Mini for almost a month, have 1500 miles on her and I also haven't stopped grinning! Even traffic is fun in a Mini.

Tell us more about your Mini! Do you have a name for him/her? Any pictures?

I was worried at first trading my Jeep Rubicon for my MINI; been a jeep and SUV owner for 8 years, but no problems. The drive home from the dealer in the rain and fog on 95 from MA to NH was fast and fun. Not saying I was speeding, I easily stayed up with traffic and had no fear of trucks.

The second morning I got to try it on black ice, a beautiful 4 wheel drift in a corner. I knew the temp drop and took it slow. I have over 10 miles of back roads before the highway

No name yet and I need to stop driving it and take a few pics, will post soon
