New MINI Owner

I just ordered a 2009 oxygen blue Cooper. After years of sacrifice to raise my kids, I am splurging to buy my dream car!

Hey, right on! Congratulations! Be sure to check out the Oxygen Blue Owners Thread (just posted a couple more pictures there a few minutes ago). It's got enough good stuff in it to keep you interested/distracted for at least some of your wait until delivery.

Welcome to NAM and Mini ownership. I also made the auto trans concession. I feel it will be well worth it.

congrats!

Congrats s501435, you're going to love the cooper!

Chowdah, have you seen this thread: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...d.php?t=155752 ?

It's hard to tell, but from one of your pictures it looks like you might need to head to your dealer for the recall. Hopefully, it's just the angle of the picture.

Welcome to NAM, to the world of Coopers, and to the world of Oxygen Blue!!! When I configured my '07 Cooper I included a few choice items that would elevate the car to "dream" status for me. So far it has exceeded my wildest expectation!!! Add to this that in '07 OB was added as a color for Coopers...a color similar to my all-time favorite for Minis. With mpgs that far exceed EPA estimates....yeah, I'm pretty darn happy.
