Thank, CPRCrazy!

I don't know how many years I have waited...really never thought that I would be able to own a MINI! I couldn't afford one when my children were small...this is my retirement gift to me! It is so much fun to have this great site to read and post on....I didn't know about the MINI enthusiasm!!!!

Exactly, my kids were getting taller and taller so a Mini Cooper was off the list (again)! Now they are 19 and 21, got their own vehicles so it's just time for me!

Just celebrated 2 year anniversary recently... 2009 MCS

Hi everyone!
I'm pretty new here too and just wanted to say congrats to everyone's new MINIs. I finally got my 2009 MCS two years ago and it been such a dream. There isn't another car in the world I'd rather be driving... even if I had a million bucks! One of my bff bought a corolla that same year and she said she cried all week. That made me so sad... buying a car should be a happy experience, even if its not your dream car, it should never make you cry. I hope someday she gets some wheels that make her smile!

Anyways, after many years of pining away here she is and her specs:
2009 Pepper White MCS
Convenience Package
Premium Package & Sunroof
Sport Package
Steptro Auto Tranny (Maybe I'll go manual next time but its so hilly where I live.)
Interior Piano Black
Bonnet Stripes (natch)
Driving Lamps
