New MCS owners in South Carolina
Hi everyone, we purchased our first MINI around Thanksgiving. My wife and I went by the Charleston dealership to look them over before making a decision. The first we saw as we drove up was a silver S model hardtop with black stripes. Seems everywhere we went on the lot, the silver S followed us around.

However, when we were preparing to leave, the silver S simply followed us to our home here in the SC Midlands.

Love it. Hope to enjoy a gathering or meeting of several MINIs this summer.

Richard and Rose

Thanks so much Melangell. I'm trying to sort out the picture posting but am still a bit new yet. I've got a decent frontal shot before all of the snow here made the MINI look as if it's wearing a white fur cap.

Welcome! Bit of a haul for most of our events, but hope you can make it to a Tar Heel MINI event some time.

Welcome! I am also a member of Tar Heel MINI Motoring Club. I go to college in Charleston, and looked at that car one day while getting some work done. It is a beauty!

Thanks so much for the warm welcome lads, lasses. Very kind of you. As many of you have said, it is an entirely different driving experience!
