I'm new.
 
Hi everyone,
A dream come true yesterday. I got a Mini Cooper. Thought I'd post and read to see what I can learn from all of you.
I've been studying the manual and checking things out and of course driving the little angel.
So happy ! :)

Welcome!

I found any reason I could to just go out and drive when I first got mine!

Congrats and Happy Motoring.:thumbsup:

Now comes the hard part - trying to explain to others why you like your MINI so much!! These cars are a blast to drive!

Kathy1946 Jan 14, 2010 07:33 PM

Thank you all for your welcome.

It still feels like a dream and I'm so happy.

Congrats Kathy! We just picked up our 2009 MCS last night. Sparkling Silver, White roof / Mirrors / Bonnet Stripes, Prem Pkg, Xenons. My wife and I LOVE IT!! Thanks to everyone for posting such useful information on here. I plan to add an armrest, and upgrade the stereo with some speaker replacements, and a subwoofer box from urbanmini.com. The dealer gave us the black carpet mats, but I'm thinking of adding the rubber ones too - is that crazy?

Welcome aboard Kathy, good looking MINI, enjoy and MOTOR ON!:)

Congrats!! My first Cooper I bought was supposed to be a garage kept Friday/weekend car. Yeah right, after 3 years I had chalked up 54k and then traded it in on a S model. You'll want to drive your car even in your sleep. Have fun!!!

Thanks Drew. I'm still on cloud nine !!

I love that color combo! Nice choice!

You may want to browse this 100+ page thread: Things You Didn't Know About Your MINI. I find new things about my mini every time I read it. The design and thought put into this car is pretty amazing.

Congrats to you too. Yours sounds absolutely beautiful. I know it is !!

Congrats on your Mini. I find my self "forgetting" stuff at the store and having to run back to get it. And of course out here in Colorado the Mini is a blast to drive in the mountains. Give a whole new meaning to working for the weekend. :grin:

Kathy1946 Jan 16, 2010 06:58 AM

minisizeme,

I'm in CO too. Yes,,I've already found that just any excuse to get in the sweet little thing, will work. I even love to just sit in it and be awed.

My 14 yr old grandson got "that" look, when we buzzed over to Dairy Queen. :lol:

Kathy1946 Jan 16, 2010 07:03 AM

And thanks, minisizeme !!

minisizeme Jan 16, 2010 07:03 PM

Your very welcome Kathy. I did join the local mini club. it is called MINI5280. They do a lot of stuff from what I hear. I haven't made it to a club meeting yet but looking forward to it. Love to hang out with fellow MINI nuts. There on the forum. Check them out. MINI5280
