Hi everyone, my name is Chris Cutting and I live in Orlando Florida, I work at Orlando MINI, I am a Motoring Advisor there and I finally have my first MINI. I just traded my 2006 BMW 325ci for my awesome new 2011 Eclipse Grey Cooper S. I love these cars and the people I meet on a daily basis who love MINI too. Excited to get to know all the other MINI enthusiasts out there!

 

Congrats & Welcome...Hope you gave yourself a deal. Just kidding, enjoy your new MINI and post some pics so we know it happened.

 

haha thank you! uploading pics in just a few! I hope you all will like it!

 

Sounds awesome, glad to see another MINI in FL.

 

Congrats Chris! That's the same color I went with too. I wonder if there is an Eclipse Owners Cmub yet. If not, we should get it going :-)

 

Congrats!

 

Thanks guys! Eclipse grey club?? Awesome idea! I really like the sound of that, Thanks yetti, if your ever in the area, come check out our new store! Our showroom is only about 6 months old!

 

Congrats, next time I'm in Orlando I'll have to stop by.

Oh and the other Cooper is my Mom's. Pretty soon they wont look so alike

 

Please do!

by the way, I'm pretty new to forums, so excuse me if my pictures are WAY to big haha, also, could someone tell me how you quote more than one person so you can reply to each of them at once?

 

On the lower right of the post you want to quote, there's a button with a quotation mark and a plus sign. Click that on every post you want to respond to. (It will turn red) When you're done selecting the posts, then click the "quote" button.

Hope that helps, and nice lookin' MINI!

 

Awesome! Thank you! I love the look of the Hot Chocolate Club too, very nice!

 

Thanks!

 

Ha! We'll have almost identical cars. Sharp!

 

Nice! yea, lets start a club!

 

Welcome aboard! Love those Florida MINIs!

 

Thank you wpb! I gotta say, this is definitely the most fun car I've ever driven. I drive places when I really have no reason too.

 

Welcome aboard the forum, I've always thought that car salesmen should drive what they sell which isn't really a hardship on MINI peddelers. However I did offer an exemption to those selling Yugo's, Fiats, and Renaults. According to what has happened since those days are Fiat and Renault have improved their product enough that you can risk driving one. Back when I peddaled Fords I did drive one to work but had a Porsche in the garage.

 

I gotta tell you, Orlando Mini is a great dealer. I bought my JCW front Kent in October 2009. The service is always excellent as well as the open house events.

I think Larry & Mike need to have another event. My dog Mario misses his Vegi-Burgers.

You are going to love your "S" & good luck on your new job. I live in Daytona but always stop by Orlando Mini for a cup of coffee when I'm in your area.

Thank you Ben! haha, I agree with you, it does have it's advantages to sell what you drive, and there is no way I can complain about driving a Cooper! yes, it would definitely be a "job" selling Yugo's haha, I am impressed with some of the new changes with Fiat and Renault. Ford, that was my foot in the door when it comes to the car buisness! I worked at two Ford stores, before I found my calling at MINI, I've happily been at MINI for a year and four months now. Porsche in the garage is always a nice thing!

Ronnie, thank you very much for the kind words, I am still very new at Orlando MINI, I absolutely love my job, and after a year and four months, I have learned that we are a tight knit family, and our customers become an extension of that and great friends. By the way, since you mentioned it we do have some great coffee I'm glad you had such a great experience with us, Kent is my desk neighbor, I'll tell Kent, Mike, and Larry you say hi! Thank you for the kind welcome! Come see us soon!

 

Congrats on your new ride....
You'll love this site, awesome peeps and a wealth of information and support.
I just returned from Orlando from an interview with a company called Triquint on RT441. If all works out, I'll stop by with my 05 R50 and maybe you can hook me up with an "S" model.

 

Thank you! Feels like a pretty great community of Motorists so far! Hope all goes well in your pursuit for your new job! Stop by anytime!! I love visitors! haha!

 

Welcome to NAM.

Live 50 miles from you all.

Hope to see you at some Sunshine MINI's events.
