I'M probably that guy
 

hello everyone, i now own my first mini. and this would be my first attempt at a forum. have worked on these cars for years asssumed i would not enjoy owning one, after being surrounded by challenging ones all day, to my own surprise. i like the mini. more than my current beemer, had half a dozen cars last year and this is the only one that i've been excited about.

excited is a goodness
 

Welcome. Glad to see the challenging ones didn't stop you. The enjoyment is lasting.

Very nice. Would love to see some pictures of it. Seeing only the bad ones day in and day out may not be good if your thinking about buying one but its all the ones you never see that make them worth owning. I would but another one in a heart beat. Motor On!

Congratulations on getting a MINI sure you're goiing to love it.

That's the spirit! Hopefully, you found a winner. I've had mine since Sept. 08 and I love it every time I drive it. Welcome aboard!

Pictures please...and welcome aboard.

Welcome!! I'm sure you will have a blast!!

You're an excellent testimonial for MINIs.
Often when someone is so familiar with something, there's no way they'll personally own one, because of knowing all the flaws.
You becoming an owner says a lot about MINI.

Great to have an expert here! Welcome to the forum! Get ready for lots of questions :nod:

Welcome, the fun has only begun
