I got the bug for a Mini a couple years ago when I called my buddies daughter's 03 Cooper S a sissy car. Big mistake, HUGE. After taking a ride (scarry ride) I was hooked. I had a 71 VW Beetle with lots of custom accessories back in the late 80's and the MINI reminded me of those days. So now I'm on the hunt for one and want one very badly.

I figured my first step would be to join a forum so here I am..... Hello All.....

 

Hello! Like you had just admired but not thinkin these were for me till I drove one! Now Im hooked! It did give me the throwback feeling to my VW days. I had a 70 Squarback among others. This car makes me smile every time I drive it. Just picked up an 06 with 41k on it. Looks like new and completely stock, for now. Off to the wheel and tire shop! This site helped me alot when I was looking to get one. Lots of good info on pitfalls, what to watch out for etc. Keep reading and grab a good one! Best car ever!
