New to mini and this forum

Picking up my new 2004 Mini Cooper tomorrow! So excited I can't sleep. It's clean and has only like 56k miles. I'm the 3rd owner and it has a clean carfax Had a boring beige camry since I was 18 and 9 years later I'm getting my first fun ride.


Hmmmm not sure what else to post but just wanna say Hey yall! Happy to be a new member.

This gets me out of neutral and into first gear right

Welcome to the madness... Since this is your first "fun" car, you'll find MANY clubs, organizations, drives, races, get togethers, whatever they're called as a mini owner.

You'll find yourself driving to places just to drive. I'm on my 4 mini (put 26K miles on the last one in a year) and I still drive out of my way when my wife says she needs milk...

Enjoy and motor on...

Welcome ebuzzy to mini cooper land! We have had ours for a little over a week now & love it more with each passing day! We too went from boring car to fun ride just because it was something we always wanted to do. Good luck & enjoy driving your mini!

Welcome, my Mini is my "midwife crisis" car. No more kids to haul around, so it was time for mom to get another little fun to drive car. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I am enjoying mine!
