Yeah yeah, got a new Cooper S ... so I'll make the general got my first mini post. 2010, dark silver ... blah blah blah.

Never owned a turbo car, have had several (more than 30) other cars, the faves being GM small block cars. LSX So, this fwd performance stuff is new to me. After test driving 3 used s/c'd models and 1 new turbo one, I thought it might be fun to have as a weekend toy.

 

Be careful...from what I've heard is it starts out as a weekend fling and becomes an everyday addiction.

Congrats on the car!

 

I think this little car will grow on you. I delivers more fun-per-mile than one would think, which may have something to do its excellent engineering and a long heritage that BMW fused into its character.

 

Welcome to the forum, hope you enjoy your new MINI.

 

Thanks! It's a fun little car, more than I expected before I test drove 'em ...

 

you will feel the same way in a year from now as well.

 

That's it--a little enthusiasm now! Your first post made it sound like you had a gun to your head to buy the MINI. In any event, welcome to MINI and NAM. Keep us posted on your adventures and hope that MINI gives you as much fun as mine does for me!
