I just bought my first Mini last Wednesday. It's an 2008 Astro Black S with auto trans. I got the auto because I already have 2 manual trans cars and wanted something for an everyday driver. The car is a BLAST to drive!!!

 

Nice ride , good luck with it and welcome to the insanity of Mini Ownership

 

Very nice looking car. I have an 07 Astro Black/White MCS. Check out the paint in the sunlight and see if you can pick up the blue tint of the metal flakes.

I really like your wheels. I've got the S-Winders that I don't like very much.

 

great car man! i want an auto tranny car lol. i have to admit, there are some days where i wish my R50 was automatic

 

Sweet. The black/black with chrome caps is nice look!

 

loosk goood...congrats

 

Beautiful car. I wish that color was a still available when I ordered my '09. I have the manual but the Aisin 6 speed auto is a really nice drivng tranny. Happy Motoring!!

 

I don't think you will regret the automatic transmission. I do a lot of "shifting" with mine, but when I get tired of playing boy racer I just put in "D" and relax. Welcome to MINI Land.

 

WELCOME, NOOB!!!

Astro Black, FTW.

 

When I am inching through traffic, I wish for an automatic transmission. Enjoy!

 

Welcome rdmini06 and grats on the MINI!
