New Mini owner as of this coming Monday :)

So after a pretty traumatic experience with my belated 08 Honda Civic, I am the VERY happy daughter of a couple awesome people who decided to get me a MCS much like my mom's
We named our cars to eliminate some of the confusion, as they are the same color and both MCSs. Hers is Blueberry Yum Yum (after the Ludacris song) and mine is Peyton (after Peyton Manning).
Hope to meet a lot of y'all and learn a lot about my awesome new car :D

Congrats on the purchase! I have an 08 civic (which I won't be sad to see go) and have my mini on order to be delivered in a few weeks. Hopefully the traumatic experience didn't involve an accident but if so, hopefully you're alright and the upside is you have a great car on the way.

Congrats to both of you! +1 on hoping the traumatic experience didn't leave long-term scars of any type. Enjoy the new rides and by all means post some pics when you park it long enough! Can't wait to see and hear all about them.

I'm sure that Peyton will be excellent therapy for your traumatic automotive experience.

Welcome! Post some Mini pics once you get some!

Thanks for the nice words all
I have a pic of both of them in our driveway!


I didn't really mean to have an image effect on it but I have a new phone and was curious and then couldn't figure out how to get it back to normal haha.
Hers is the Convertible, mine is the hardtop.

As an owner of a Laser Blue Cabrio, may I commend you both in your choice of color. No matter what shade, give Blue its due. I think we all know one thing is true, that Blue, yes Blue (glistening in some rainbow stew), is almost certainly, the coolest hue. Ha, ha..ahem..yes, well, many congrats on your Peyton! In the meantime, I'll be waiting for my Pulitzer.

I'm still having a hard time using Louisiana and Peyton/the Colts in the same sentence.
In fact, I think that was the first time since February lol


OH AND PEYTON IS SECURE IN MY DRIVEWAY! :D Signed the papers today. He fits in so well with my dad's 128i and Blueberry. Since I'm just learning how to drive stick, the little guy's having to be patient while I work on getting it to become second nature but as long as I don't get frustrated, then we're good haha.
