Another new mini owner

Hello all!!

I just purchased a chili red 2010 mini cooper clubman!! Not super jazzed about the color but i think that i can make it work. I have had suv's and crossovers for most of my life. This is the closest i have ever come to a sports car. I have to say though, i had no interest in the mini's, ever. I LOVE the classic 1956 mini but the new ones i wasn't super excited for...then i drove one. I LOVE THEM!!! I am now a full blown member of the cult. Drank the kool aid and all
My family:
1 year old girl
120 lb Great Pyrenees dog
Nerd husband
And me: Full time student, full time mom and a part time worker.

My husband and i both have Yamaha V-Stars and have been modding them since we bought them so you will probably see me around the forums a lot either asking questions (being new to the mini and all) or posting pics.

Thanks in advance for all the great input!!!

Hooray for you!

1. Need pics of the dog and the Clubbie. Preferrably dog IN the Clubbie.
2. Protect the interior of your Clubbie with a Poochstyle cargo mat.
3. Get your MINI mods from WayMotorWorks.

Thank me later.

Welcome to the forum, sounds like you have become a MINI maniac, post some pics of the car, the dog, the kid, yourself and the NERD.

Picture is too cool, we took the plunge a few months back chili pepper red with black trim, wasn't my first color choice but once I saw it in person I was sold.

I don't mike the chili red but the hot chocolate or the pepper white were my first pics. Never saw myself as a "red car driver". I had a 77 ford bronco for years that was forest green with a off white hard top and 35" tires. NEVER saw myself in a red mini
Lord knows i love it!! i am making excuses to go drive it now with the munchkin. Though i can't drive it around with all the windows down cause it bothers her in the back :(
Oh well, the sacrifices we make as parents
