well here i am

i joined the cooper club a couple days ago. gas prices forced me to trade in my 06 mustang gt, for something more economical. 115hp is a FAR cry from 300but the 30mpg is a far cry from the 14. i dont love the mini yet, but i do like it. i know absolutely nothing about them and am looking forward to learning.

Welcome to the club! I came from a CBR600 so I know how you feel about the huge drop in power to weight ratio.. but I love the Cooper now and you probably will too. Post up some pictures of your new ride!

There are a ton of people here who can suggest mods and improvements to make your car perform a little better. It will never haul *** in a straight line like a V8, but with some minor upgrades it can be just as fun.

Ditto what Danny said. You can do an awfully lot with a MINI and will give you great rewards. Hang in there, read lots of posts, and you will begin to get an idea of what you have to work with.

Welcome from another former mustang owner (91 gt). You will enjoy the mini in the corners.

Could have gotten 30mpg with a 181hp MCS.
