Proud Owner of MINI

Hello!

After years of waiting, two days ago, I finally purchased a MCC! Wish I could afford the S, but I am very happy with the justa. Hope to upload pics soon. Its dark silver with black roof and mirror caps, premium, cold weather, and sport package, xenons, iPOD usb adaptor and bluetooth! The car is a blast and i've been 200 miles already! Would like to add stripes to the bonnet and slightly tint the windows.

Welcome to the forum, therenn is nothing wrong with a base MINI, I love mine and saved $3200, buys a lot of gas.

I like how the base mini cooper looks but I couldn't live without the extra horse power but that's me. it's still mini and will have great gas milage and be a blast to drive. Is it a manual?

Congratulations! Nothing wrong at all with the base model - still has plenty of pep for whatever you want to do. Remember, the place a Mini really shines is in the twisties! Enjoy your new ride.

That's a good lookin' clubbie! I like the Dark Silver (that was my first choice ).

Sport mode is awesome! I can't stand the un-responsive throttle without it!
