New Owner/Members, Hello!

On behalf of my wife and I, I would like to say hello. We are picking up our first Cooper tomorrow and are very excited!

We are both auto enthusiasts, but unfortunately when it comes to Minis, we are both noobs. We are looking forward to meeting, and learning from, everyone here.

Cheers!

Thank you all for the welcomes!

The car is "justa" Cooper. 2003, Indi Blue with white top, mirrors, and 16" wheels.

It also has nav and heated leather seats (which in Minnesota is much appreciated).

We'll get some pics uploaded tonight and have them up here before long.

Cheers!

Congratulations. Nice looking MINI

You folks have almost as much snow on the ground as we do here at the Jersey shore. And that is NOT a good thing. Looking forward to spring.

Wow you gotta a real honey enjoy. The Mini manual is a good reference book, but can't compare to the information you'll find on this site.

Welcome to NAM and congrats on the great looking MINI! Hope it's got snow tires for you, or at least the all weathers.

Thanks for all the compliments guys! She is fitted with all-season tires (thank God) and TRPete, spring cannot come fast enough!

I've been reading the manual in my spare time and have found it VERY useful. Can't wait to try out the sunroof.

Cheers!

Tell me about it! It's been really bad here in VA for the last 3 weeks. I can't even drive my MINI like I want to. I just recently picked mine up too. Congrats on your purchase btw!!
