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 !

 

Congrats on the new Cooper, and welcome.

 

Thanks Robin,

Your MINI Cooper S is beautiful !!

 

Welcome to NAM!

Have any photos of the MINI?

 

Congrats on your new car and welcome. I am a relatively new owner also, 10/25/09. It is a super fun car!!

 

Thanks Drew,
I posted one in the gallery.

 

Thankyou TCSCB.

 

Welcome!

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

Welcome, let the addiction begin

 

Congrats and Happy Motoring.

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

 

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?

 

Very sharp Kathy!

 

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!!!

 

Welcome to the obsession from MAD-Town, WI. Red is my next favorite MINI color after British Racing Green, You have a good-looking MINI there, enjoy & don't forget to wave!

 

Thanks Drew. I'm still on cloud nine.

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.

 

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.

 

And thanks, minisizeme !!

 

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
