Hello Everyone,
I'm a new member of your group. I joined up in part due to my excitement over my soon-to-arrive new Countryman. I had driven a 2007 hardtop just shy of four years when my wife elected to total it in a one car accident. Fortunately she suffered only minor injuries. Muggs behaved as he should and sacrificed himself for his driver. As result I have ordered a plain-Jane(John) Countryman S All-4 selecting only the sunroof as an extra. I'm used to a manual transmission and a turbo charged engine so that will satisfy my needs. I'm sure most of you are far my junior in age, but know that I'm young again when I drive my Mini. I'm 71. Maybe there's an old-timers club.

 

I'm a 64-year old youngster, on his third MINI. It's a great addiction, and a great-built car as your wife's accident evidenced. Happy for you and her, and know you are going to love your Countryman. Enjoy
