New Mini S (Racing Green) owner saying hello

From Charlotte NC!

So far this has been a blast of a car to ride in. first fun car I've had in over 13 years (before the kids). Great on gas but right now sucking down gallon after gallon with every excuse to drive somewhere!!.

Great purchase!!

Welcome aboard, and grats on your MINI. Excellent color, though I'm a bit biased haha. What year? And, you should know we love pics around here :hint hint:

I've had my R53 ('06) for almost a year, and my biggest problem is not putting my right foot down at every opportunity. With the S it's easy to find yourself in "excessive speeding" territory very quickly if you're not careful.

Happy Motoring!

Welcome! I'm right down the street in Albemarle and in Charlotte every weekend. If you should see an interchange yellow MINI chances are it's me. And, please remember to save the wave.

Thanks all! I'll be sure to update with a photo once I get back from the beach! Will definitely look up the club here in Charlotte!

BTW - one the first purchases was a radar detector. So far so good..
