New owner in PA

I wanted to introduce myself to the site.
I just bought a 2005 Mini Cooper S with Premium, Cold weather and Sport packages it also has the Chrono. gauge pack. It's Hyper Blue with a white top.

I love my car but I think my wife is a bit jealous.

Welcome, redhand. Which side of PA are you located? Even though I'm from OH, I belong to Pittstop Mini Club in Pittsburgh, great group of people. Look into your local club and meet a bunch of Mini crazy people.

Welcome redhand! What part of PA? I'm just outside Philly, and the local MINI club (www.phillymini.org) is a great group of people (just met them last week at an event at Otto's) - if you're near the Philly area, join up and motor with us!

And tell us more about this MINI you just purchased - any pics yet?

Thanks for the welcome,
I'm from York, PA so Pittsburgh is a little far but Philly is right around the corner well the 2 hr corner.
As for the car its stock with 26k miles 6 speed white bonnet strips.

Another MINI in York!
Welcome!
I'll look out for yours on the road here.
I hope you like yours as much as I've enjoyed my BRG/BRG MC,
which is over 6 years old now.

Welcome to the Club! We took the (then) (relatively) new MINI to Gettysburg late last fall. Seems we ventured out your way or went through it or something. Some great MINI roads in your area if memory serves me right.

In any event, have a blast. Hope you didn't think you were 'just buying a car'...

Welcome, redhand. Check out the Carlisle MINI group. Nice group of folks. Not as active as PhillyMINI or PittStop but still growing.
