My yellow '05 Mini is the cutest one on the road. Everyone smiles when they see it, especially kids. It's a real conversation piece in parking lots. Most importantly, it's my very first car. That's right, I've never had my own car and had to wait until retirement to get one. But this little car was worth the wait. I can think of only one drawback. Since we moved to a small town for retirement, everyone knows where I am -- no secret, stealth missions!!

Congratulations to you!

Ya know, you can't start off a post like you did without posting a picture (or two or three ) to show us this alleged cute car. So get busy taking pictures or posting 'em, be safe out there, and...Happy Motoring!

Welcome to NAM!

Congrats on your first car! yeah, unfortunately, MINIs mean no real stealth missions... Unless of course you're in San Francisco according to some! Anyway, congrats, and make sure you wave to other MINIs!!!

Welcome to NAM and congrats on your MINI. My wife would argue with you that her MINI is the cutest (it's got checkers, to quote her)!

Congrats!
mine is still in transit, but she's MY with sport stripes--no stealth for me either. I could probably name most of the MINIs/Minis in Birmingham by color and stripe. Can't wait to be numbered among the growing few. Definitely wave. Save the wave!
Mellow Yellow rocks! Post pics!

Hi Rhawth99! Mine has checkers too! And no you can't hide anywhere in a mini like that! Love the blue car too! It was between the blue or the chili red for me and I never had a red car before! I got the clubman though for some extra room.
Congrats Cutestmini! I think the yellow ones are adorable too! Hope to see pictures! Enjoy!
