My First MINI

I just bought my first Mini this past Sunday. I fell in love with the Mini back in 2001 when I started reading about them in all the car magazines. Everything about the car is just plain cool.

I tried to buy my first Mini a couple of years, however I couldn't reach a deal at the dealer. Now that the economy is in the gutter all the dealers are eager to get cars moving off their lots.

So, my first Mini is a pepper white 2006 Cooper with a black top. It's got two-toned full leather seats and the HK sound system. I am so excited to have this car. It's got 38,400 miles on it and I picked it up for $15,100. This car was owned my this woman that pampered this thing. It shows almost as new.

Anyway, I posted some photos of the car on my blog which you can find here: http://www.tiltyourhead.com. It's been cold and cruddy here in Ohio so as soon as it warms up I'll take some more photos to post in my gallery.

That's a very unique interior on a PW MINI.

Any plans for mods ? First one I'd do... stripes. Justacoopers look nekkid without stripes, IMO.

Both of our Justacoopers are 2006s and we L O V E them !! BTW, both of them have almost the exact same on the odometer as yours.

Welcome to the Club! Glad you finally got the MINI of your dreams (or at least one that makes you happy!). It's a great looking PW and no doubt, it's a blast to drive! Congratulations!
