Newbie from Florida

Hey everybody!! Ive been learking around here for a little bit now and finally decided I should join and introduce myself. I have loved the mini for many years and after researching the better part of this year for something much better on gas than my Nissan Xterra, I decided a Mini is def the way to go. It will become my daily driver and I could not be more excited.

I'll be picking up my 09 Copper S Clubman on Thursday and I am soooo excited....and a little nervous too, so go easy on me!

Congrats. Be sure to check out the Cooper S technical forum, lots of good stuff there about keeping the drivetrain of the S model in good shape.

Welcome!

Mine is somewhere in the system, I am getting a cabrio. Because it will be too cold by the time it gets here, I am taking to AUTO TRAIN down to Florida for Christmas to visit the folks, and if weather permits, top down time.

It will be much more fun than the Xterra though. Driving through traffic is more of a game than a hassle.
