Just Bought my MINI

Hi all. I picked up a 2009 MINI Cooper S Convertible - I think that's an R57 MSCc- British Racing Green (BRG) with black stripes and black/grey interior. I love it. Went with the automatic transmission because my wife needs to be able to drive it. But, I gotta say I don't really mind it that much. The automatic is great for the highway part of my commute, but I can drop it in manual when I'm taking the back roads. Kind of the best of both worlds.

The car had 30K miles on it and I think I got a good deal. Glad to be part of the MINI community.

Welcome to NAM.
Can't wait to see some pics.
My 07 MCS is auto also and I've been very pleased with it.
The paddle shifters are cool once you get the hang of how to use them.
Yes, best of both worlds.
