Love My New Mini!!!

I decided a mini was for me about 3 years ago and finally picked him up Monday evening from NW Mini in Fife, WA. Chile Red Mini Cooper S. Love him!! I am happy to see that it is acceptable to be obsessed with my new car....cuz I am...... I'm waiting for his license plate to see if it suggests a name....in the meantime he's just my new baby.

Great color. You know CR is the best and fastest Mini color!!

Have fun motoring in your new ride.

I did read that the CR's were the fastest and bestest......that was after I picked him out, though. I like your badge. Looks like I need to find CROC and join. But first....I think I need to go put on my shoes and go for a drive while the sun is out here. I haven't had much alone time with him since I picked him up and I need to get better aquainted. Bald Hills seems like a good destination....used those roads as a young person to speed race and test limits....

Lookin' Good!

Love the black roof with the black wheels, it kinda offsets the "Look at me, I'm Red!" with just a touch of Stealth Fighter. Have fun and remember... it's not speeding if you don't get caught.

I was talking about wanting one for over a year, then finally went for a test drive and bought it that day...LOL. I've had mine for about 3 months and LOVE IT! Best car Ive ever owned....I will probably be a MINI owner for life now.

Congrats! We got our '12 Justacooper from Northwest MINI on September 30th. Great dealership and a very good sales experience - even if they thought that the MINI didn't have auto-up windows (which it does).

I think it's only the Coupe and the convertible that don't have the auto up.
