Proud new owner

I am a proud new owner of an 09 Pepper White Cooper. She is only 2 weeks old and I have enjoyed every bit of her. I will try to post pics of her in the future. I traded in my 2000 Ford Expedition to get her. She has the matching top and mirrors with black interior.

Hi I am a proud new owner too! Black convertable 2 weeks old. I am still trying to figure out the settings with the steering wheel. If I can't figure it out well...road trip back to the dealer

What part of Columbia do you live in? We just ordered a 2010 PS Clubman S, we live in the Irmo area. Did you buy from Mini of Charleston or Century?

I live off of Broad River. I was actually in Greenville and went to Century and bought it that same weekend.

Congrats on the new convertible - picked mine up in June and love it. The most common confusion on the settings is that not all menu items appear at all times. Some are stored on the individual MINI keys and to see these you have to have the key inserted and the ignition on. You will then see more of the menu items.

Regarding the wave, the dealers have got to do a better job of explaining the full expectations associated with driving a MINI . I live in Atlanta and can't tell you have many times I have waved to other MINI's only to have them act like they were driving a Civic!!

LOL! It's funny, because the very first wave I received was from someone driving a Volvo; yet, I've passed fellow Mini Motorors, and they just ignore me!
