I have actually been a member here for a while but I finally went and bought a car today

2003 Cooper S - lots of options and in great shape.

I have had a ton of fun/fast cars, from 944 Turbos to M5s, so far I love this little car. Course, it is stuck in the driveway as it is snowing like mad here and RE050 RFTs just plain suck in the snow. Blizzaks going on as soon as it dries out a little.

Cant wait until summer rolls around and I can drop it, swap the wheels and add some go fast parts!

Only one picture as it was starting to snow and I needed to get home.

I really wanted this color combo and I wanted sport package and xenon lights. Turns out this one has that plus Aero Kit, heated seats, pano roof...looks like everything you could get minus navigation.

Even better the dealer that had it was about 20 mins from my house and not half way across country. :D

You couldn't have picked a better color. My MINI was the same way, everything I wanted except it didn't have the h/k sound system. It was also only 5 minutes from my house. I might have over paid for the car but I traded my Altima in for what I paid for it two years ago. I had to take that deal. Happy Motoring (when this awful white stuff goes away)

Congratulations! I think you'll find your mini is pretty good in the snow once you clear it off the little bugga!
I just know you're gonna love this car! Enjoy!

As a fellow Atlantan, any idea who ordered the Ohio winter weather for Atlanta this year?

Congrats on your MINI. BTW - I like your color. I just put a JCW carbon fiber hood scoop on my Dark Silver MCS convertible. I really like the looks of the carbon fiber with the Dark Silver paint.

I think Ohio ordered it for you so the north wouldn't have to suffer alone this year... we miniacs like to share eveything we can!

*sorry for the thread hijack*

Mote, I *love* your Mayfair! It's the first one I've seen other than the marketing photos. I really want to get caramel colored bonnet stripes for my Clumban. I was thinking of doing black pinstripes instead of the white, though.
