Hey everyone,

My name is Jamie. I'm looking for my first MINI right now. I live in Lafayette, CA but I go to school at Santa Clara University.

I have always loved MINIs, and I can't wait to buy one!

I currently have a lifted Jeep Grand Cherokee, so having a MINI as well will be a huge change. The MINI and the Jeep will be essentially opposites!

Here's my Jeep:



I'm looking at getting an R53 in black, grey, or silver.

Welcome to the forum Jamie! When I saw this I looked at your Jeep pic before reading your post and thought, "Holy carp! Someone did some crazy mod with their Countryman!"

I'm partial to the dark silver myself, but all those colors sound great. Good luck with your hunt. I live in the East Bay and sometimes drive to the data center in Santa Clara so hopefully you'll get your R53 soon and I'll see you on the road.
