Evening from the Maritimes

Well if this is the right spot, then hello from New Brunswick, Canada. I was about to buy a dealer demo Cooper S when I came across this Hot Orange, 05 Coopers S Convertible with only 14,000 km on the clock, on kijiji (think Craigslist, but with better pictures ). Too good of a deal to pass up, so here I am. It's really my wife's toy, but since I'm semi retired and she's not quite there yet, I'll probably be driving it during the day, more than her

BTW, I'll have a ton of questions about wheels, motor mods (can never have enough power), etc, but I'll get to that later.

Grats on the new MINI! Hot Orange was always one of my favorite colors, I don't see to many of them around my area. and WOW an '05 with only 14,000 KM that is basically brand new! Welcome to the MINIverse!

Hello! Great to see other Mini owners from the Maritimes. I'm in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Was thinking it would be cool to get a group together in the Maritimes for club drives.

Thanks folks

Sounds like a good idea Brightwhite, we're up for it. Plus, the BMW/MINI dealership in Moncton, NB (monctonmini) just opened up a new shop next to the airport and apparently they've done a couple runs already. One of the sales people there (Jessica) will add you to their mailing list, to keep you up to date on what they have planned, if you're interested. I'm not one for giving out my email address to sales people....but so far they haven't sent me any junk mail

Hey Hez. I lived in SJ for three years, from 96-99. Bought my second favourite car I ever owned there too. a 1998 Subary Impreza 2.5RS in Rally Blue Pearl. I loved that thing.

It's second to my Mini though.
