New MINI Owner(s)

Hello all. My name is Ryan. My wife Jess and I bought our first Mini on July 3rd after having wanted one for several years now. We picked up a used 2006 Cooper S convertible. Since I didn't get an original window sticker from what I can tell it has the cold weather package, sport package, premium package, and the auto transmission. We traded in one of our Toyota Yaris' for it, so yea, pretty big upgrade! I drove for 5-6 hours yesterday and managed to give myself a sunburn in the process....

Best part is, after running some numbers and doing some talking we decided to get Jess her own dedicated Mini. So we put an order in for a Cooper, chili red, auto, UJ roof, red accent interior, cold weather package, etc. So in 6-8 weeks we should have our second Mini.

Here are some pretty bad pics of the car (sun was going down):

Man, that convertible is just soooooo good looking. The wheels are a little whimsical, which I don't normally think is for me, but, I tell you, they work perfectly on your car. It's full of personality.
