Just purchased a new 2012 British Racing Green Mini S Hardtop (White roof and hood stripes). 4 miles on it at delivery. Must have driven it around the ship several times .

I had to drive it home from the dealer in the rain. Bummer. Sun is out now and already washed it for the first time.


I love small cars and the Mini with the turbo is a hoot. I previously owned a Honda Insight (the original 2000 model) for 11 years. I've done my Civic duty. Time to crank it up. (Full disclosure, I also have an NSX.)

And the requisite first picture:



By popular demand, here is the NSX:

Congrats! sure the MINI is a tad more fun than the insight. I'll be taking delivery in the middle of winter(January) so will be a while till I can fully enjoy.

 

Welcome to NAM!!
And we all know BRG is the coolest color too.
Share a pic of the new ride?

 

Grats!!! I have your older sibling by six model years. You have fine taste in body & roof color (I'm a bit biased). Please share some pics when you can.

Drive 'er in good health!

 

congrats on the car

 

Beautiful MINI. I love the new MINI front bumper!

 

Welcome! planning on mods?

just a heads up, my favorite BRG mini r56

 

As much as I love a new Mini...any pics of the NSX? They've always been a guilty pleasure of mine.

 

Welcome ! Keep us all posted on how this years model does on the road and if it has to visit the shop.

All posts are great for know the model better from the owners view ! ! !

 

Awesome car! With all due respect to the Insight, you went from...well, an Insight to a very COOL looking car! LOL

 

pretty for sure. Mine should be in production sometime after the first.

 

Welcome to your new Obsession.
