Hi all. new to the board, but have been following MINIs from day one (I actually waited for an hour to drive a S the day the dealer opened on '02). I have always loved them, but could never quite figure out how one would fit in with my other toys ('64 Porsche 356C, '94 Land Rover Defender, '07 Wrangler 4 door). Recently my wife's Beetle decided to start doing some funky things, and we decided to get into something else.
The perfect opportunity... We were planning to get into a MCSC, but my wife found a little red Cooper that she fell in love with, so we thought we would ease $$$ into the MINI experience. '03 Cooper red/white, white '16 wheels, sunroof, stripes. I thought I would be disappointed in the Cooper after driving a couple of S's, but she really scoots! An MCSC is in our future, but we will play with this Cooper for a while.
I will do some searches, but have already had issues with pass. window, drivers door (not opening), and power steering noise.

Welcome to NAM, the MINIverse and everything. Nice choice of color. Have fun hugging the asphalt, and don't forget to wave at other MINIs on the road.
