Newbie to the Mini Community

Hey All,

I am new to the Mini community. Recently purchased a 2006 Cooper S in Pepper White here in beautiful Charlotte, NC. What a blast to drive... but I guess I don't need to tell you that. You all already know how great this car truly is. Looking forward to being a Mini enthusiast.

Any feedback / advise out there for a newbie??

Let me know.

Thanks.

Welcome to NAM-land from MAD-town, WI. Waving at other MINIs is expected, as well as pics of the new ride. Hmm, also get used to driving with a smile on your face, especially in the corners! 06 was a very good MINI-year, good decision on your part.

PS: After some quality time together, you will decide on a name for your MINI.
