Hi all,

After months of research and price watching, I finally pulled the trigger and bought myself a used 08 MCS. Pepper white with a black roof, stripes down the middle, 6speed, convenience package, auto air but no sunroof, which I can live without. I'm pretty sure it belonged to someone on NAM, because it has signs of use from someone who knew what they were doing with a MCS (Oil catch can, velcro from where the scanguage was). I bought it from a VW dealership in LA on thursday, and then drove it up to San Francisco, where I live and work. For whatever reason, I was finding way better deals in SoCal than in the bay area, so thats why I didn't buy mine locally.

Anyways, I'm extremely proud to finally be a member of the MINI community, and I'm having a blast driving this thing around.

More pics to come later, but for now, I attached a pic of mine (on the right) next to my girlfriend's 09 (on the left).

 

Great looking car, welcome to the club! Personally I have a sunroof and I think it's overrated, I'd rather not have one. Gets hot as **** in the summer months and it's too loud to have open at speed!
