I was lucky enough to find a practically new '08 Mini Cooper S with the sports package. Being a big fan of hatchbacks i can't say enough about the Mini. I knew they were fun to drive and great handling but i actually didn't really know since I never actually drove one till now. It's almost like driving my old '91 Honda CRX Si all over again. Feels like a go cart and it's great!

Ok, ok... it's actually my wife's Mini. Don't tell anyone. She is cool with me lowering and adding some wheels. Not bad eh?


2008 Mini Cooper S



Matches my R32.

 

Nice ride...And welcome to the MINI world. Pretty soon you'll be addicted and have to ditch that "other" ride for another MINI.

 

-ooooh, two hot hatches ! Nice.

 

I had a '88 CRX SI so i know exactly what you mean about the handling. Good thing about my Clubman is that it's got two more seats! Welcome to the site.

 

I'm no astrologer or fortune teller but I see another two-MINI family in the making.

 

Your wife has one nice ride! (Yours isn't too bad either.) It will be interesting to see how you feel about both in a few months. Keep us posted.
Welcome to NAM.

 

When I read the thread title I thought you had received a MCS as a fleet vehicle for work. I was like . Lucky bastard!

I get to drive a crappy 2006 Chevy Uplander a.k.a. "The Blue Whale" for my fleet vehicle at work.

I always enjoy returning to Opus after driving that bloated creampuff.

 

@x uh oh x : Thanks but i don't know about that. Nothing wrong with having both. haha

 

That's how i roll. Serious Mini you have there!

 

Glad someone knew what i was talking about. Definitely feels more connected to the street.

 

Haha, yeah. My R32 is a lease. So if that Mini Coupe concept actually happens then you never know.

 

Thanks! I've driven it plenty already. haha Both cars are great but in different ways and I have to say that owning both is a lot of fun!

 

Haha, sorry for the confusion and "The Blue Whale".

 

I went from a GTI to my first MINI, myself. Not an R32, and not a second gen MINI, but still. Awesome!

 

No doubt! Nice clean look you have on your Mini.

 

Welcome to the wifes MINI to the forum, both of you enjoy.

Sweet MINI you have there! Congrats!
