Welcome to NAM...very exciting about the new MINI. Yes, I think you can be optimistic about a very long MINI-motoring career...if you can handle the level of obsession the car engenders. Sounds like you can!!

Welcome Minnie! In your excitement, you forgot to tell us anything about your new MINI. Maybe you're trying to keep us in suspense, but if you'd like to let us in on your order, we'll gloat with you even more!

Congratulations on whatever you got!

Hello MinnieMe
I use a spotless dryer from Dealers Choice i got at walmart .
Wash your car . Rinse it off ! Then wipe it down with the cloth and it takes out all the water spots ! Its about 3 square feet and brown looking ! It works every time just squeeze the water out and go at it ! I bought a Automatic also because my teen son can not drive a stick ! I got mine in April and getting about 34 - 35 mpg so far ! Easy in the curves MinnieMe ! Happy Motoring . I get about 490 miles off one tank of gas enjoy = non S =Just a Mini Cooper !

I have a Lighting blue Mini White stripes / white top / automatic / about 25oo miles on her so far ! show some pics of your Mini .
