Mini just joined the family

Hello everyone,
New to this forum but have frequented many other car forums. My wife just purchased a 2009 Mini S cabrio. We got a good deal on one with premium, sport, cold weather, and comfort packages. It has the rear park assist, Mini hi fi sound, rear fog, piano black trim, chrome mirrors, and probably some other things I can't remember. We had the white bonnet stripes added at the dealer.
From my sig you can probably tell that my wife and I enjoy sporty cars. I have to say that the Mini does not dissapoint. All out power is not the name of the game, but the low weight makes this car ultra responsive in all directions: go, stop, left and right .
Here are some pics of the mini and other memebers of the car family.
Enjoy,
James

Black looks great when it's clean. Not so much when it's not though. I keep in shape by cleaning/polishing cars .
The Mini does have some definite advantages over the other two. One big one is being able to cruise around with the top down and the kids in the back, and then make everyone scream as you take a corner way too fast.

Nice MINI, looks like it fits with the rest of the brood!!

BUT I hope Morritz is paying you to advertise for them. For a premium car dealer to put an emblem on the back of any car is
shameful!!
