Greetings from WA

Been lurking around this site for a bit but never got around to posting; so here it goes.

I purchased a 2011 mini cooper s this past summer from NW Mini in Tacoma, great guys there by the way. Got a black with white roof and racing stripes and upgraded wheels. Its a 6 speed with sunroof. I bought it off the lot, since like many of us, I just couldn't imagine waiting to take one home. Glad I did it,it has been a great car. I traded in an Audi A6 for it, and was really concerned that I might tire of the Mini quickly and regret trading in the Audi. But I can safely say after 7 months, it was one of my better trades. I look forward to driving every day.

Well thanks for reading my intro and I hope to post more often.

Nice MINI!
Welcome to NAM.
Be careful if you venture out in the nasty weather today...... not so much because of you, but for all the other crazies on the roads.

So true, it is crazy out there today. I had the mini out yesterday in this stuff and it did great, actually a lot of fun to drive even in the snow. I purschased a set of Conti DWS tires right after I got my mini and I am sure glad I did. They seem to handle the snow and rain great plus it has made the car much more quite.
