New member, and new owner of GP 0343!

Hi all!

My name is Priscilla from Eugene, OR, and I've been a long time Mini lover. For the last 5 years I've owned a 2002 silver Mini Cooper S. Just yesterday my wonderful husband traded in his Subaru STi so I could get into my (new to me) Mini Cooper S GP! It's GP # 0343. He's adopted my Silver S and we are now a 3 Mini household (including our dog, Mini Pooper.)

That's about it! I'm so glad to now be part of this group of Mini fanatics!

-Priscilla

Nice ride. Congrats. I'm surprised your husband didn't try to keep the GP for himself.

Congrats on the new MINI. Your husband traded his STi for the GP and gave the GP to you. You have one very nice husband.

Yay, another female GP owner! We're about as rare as the GP themselves.

haha.. well i cant take too much credit for the name.. i got the idea from one of the members of the Redwood Empire Mini Enthusiast club who named his mini s, Mini Pooper. It's an impressive little mini if you haven't seen it before.
