I've been a MINI fan for years, but we waited until we had two kids under two to finally get one. That makes sense, right? RIGHT??

Anyway, the daily commute to work or going somewhere without the kids just got a lot more fun with our new 2012 Lightning Blue Hardtop. We're 3 days in and can't get enough.

Oh, and this site has been an indispensable read, especially the "things you didn't know about your mini" thread. Lots of secrets with these little ones...

 

Congrats and welcome! Your car is a beaut.

 

Love the color! Congrats!

 

Nice!

 

Congratulations, and welcome to the MINI addiction! Adults get to have toys too.

 

welcome! and where is the thread you mentioned? Did a search and couldnt find it, but sounds like something I need to read up on before mine arrives in a few weeks.

 

Without the kids?

 

I have an 8 year old and a 6 year old. My Lightning Blue 08 Cooper fits them just fine. I'll upgrade to a Clubman when my son doesn't fit behind my seat anymore. I love this little car! Congrats on yours.

 

Thanks all, especially those with kids. Looks like I need to throw 'em in the back and go!

SCM - the thread is in the R56 section and titled "Things you didn't know about your R56 Mini"

 

Thanks!! found it.

 

Congrats and happy motoring with the family.

 

I have two kids, 7 and 5 year olds, and they are doing fine with plenty of room in the back, love my clubman

 

Very Nice Ride ! Love the color ! Wish i still had my lighting blue cooper = I traded it in for a Chill red .
