Howdy from Austin, Texas

Howdy. have been looking at Minis for years. Finally pulled the trigger when I found a smoking deal on a 2009 Clubman S with 12K miles on it.

We had the car about 48 hours before the wife and I left the kids with grandma and hit the road for points unknown. 600+ miles, including about 25 miles on one of the finest dirt roads in East Texas, in two days and I knew I had found a keeper!

Thanks for the forum, looking forward to feeding my new obsession.

Wow...the picture of the road just calls out EXCITEMENT!!!

But you never mentioned that you actually went back for your kids and grandma after two days. Did you?

Dang it. I knew it had been quiet around here for a few months

Guess I better fire up the Randall the Clubman and head over to Granny's house.

I live in Schertz/Cibolo outside of San Antonio. I love how much driving can be done here in Texas! I don't even mind traffic as much anymore!
