Just thought I'd introduce myself

Hello!

My name is Gil and I just bought a pepper white 2009 Mini Cooper S today. I absolutely LOVE it. The drive home was remarkable; the car handled brilliantly on the freeway and the gas mileage is wonderful!!! A BIG thanks to the previous owner (asaulo1) for his patience and cooperation as well as a smooth transaction. I'm looking forward to posting on this forum!

-Gil

Thanks guys! Was able to do a quick little photoshoot this evening. I'll post pics after I finish re-sizing them.

Congratulations on your gorgeous MINI!!!!!!! Thanks for posting the pictures. Actually they're a perfect size because people can see them quickly without clicking if they want and those of us that want to see it better can just click on them.

Thanks! No aftermarket plans for me. It's perfect just the way it is. I bought it with just over 8500 miles on it in July, it now has over 12,750 miles on it today. I am LOVING this!!!! Took it with the Sierra Nevada Mini Club yesterday for the Nevada Day Parade. I always grin from ear-to-ear when driving my Mini...pure driving bliss!!! Thanks again for the warm welcome, all!
