Back to a MINI

Hey all,
Just wanted to drop a note and say hello, we picked up our new MINI on 03/07 and am very happy to have a MINI again .
I had a 2004 MC but the cost of insurance here in MS was outrageous, "by my standard", when we moved here in 2005 so I traded her in, not a good day at all.
Checked with the insurance company a couple of months ago and the rates finally dropped to a reasonable level, "same as I am paying for my current vehicle", so I started shopping right away.
I was driving a 2006 Mazda MX-5 Miata for the last couple of years and while it was an excellent vehicle it just didn't have the convenience factor built in, "back seat".
Will be back with a MINI for good as far as a I'm concerned.
I've attached a few pictures for everyone to see.
I already tinted the sun roof with %5 tint, and that made a huge difference in the amount of light coming in.
I'm going to be installing the invisible paint protection this coming weekend to make sure she stays chip free for a long time to come.

Congradulations on the new purchase!! And you picked the BEST colour (IMHO)

I have a MkI Miata as well and now have the best of both worlds.

Regards

Scott

Welcome back to Mini. I actually know where Ridgeland is, as I work for a firm with its main office in Jackson, and we have consultants in Ridgeland, who I visit occasionally. We head up there when major hurricanes come our way.
