I have a new 09 Hardtop Mini Cooper Lighting Blue with white top , with white racing stripes that i let my son pick out to put on the Mini ! The car is great ! I am adjusting to the ride and its fun to drive ! Gas milage is great because i had a Jeep Wranger that only got 13 MPG ! I got 491 miles off my 1st tank of gas WOW ! The guy at the dealership said it will take a little while to break it in . So far i love my new Cooper ! I am ready to learn more about the Mini from other Mini owners = I am hooked with a Lighting Blue Mini Cooper !
From Bayou Country Lighting Blue !
