My 1st MINI - 2012 PepperWhite Coupe` S - Central Ohio

I've wanted a MINI since they first arrived in NA but could never justify the cost over "other" small cars....well 10 years later I finally couldn't take it anymore.

I've test driven a few but it wasn't until I saw the Coupe` Concept that I knew I had to have one.

So after about a year or so of Obsessing over the Coupe` (an image of which has been the wallpaper on my computer at work for over a year) I finally friggin bought one.....

a 2012 PepperWhite Coupe` S, manual. I think the only option it has is heated seats but I got it for a great price....picked it up last night...some of the controls will take getting used to coming from VW all my life...

Here is the image from the Dealer, I'll add more soon:

Looks good! Enjoy the new ride. We didn't bother test driving the coupe because I know my wife would want one. Instead we got the Cooper S.

Congratulations! Looks good.

Got an email from my MA today and my coupe is expected to be delivered to the dealership on Monday.

It is not too often I can say I am looking forward to Monday.

I went from looking at a hardtop or clubman, to ordering the coupe. It was just too cool (and unique) and I couldn't resist.

DBG- nice choice!

Will do! When I picked it up last night (Friday) it was sunny, warm (76) and gorgeous...today (Saturday) it's been cold, rainy and dreary. As soon as we get some nice weather, I'll get some photos.

The Pepper White looks great with black roof.... Very happy in my color choice.

Not sure that we can count that picture since it is from a dealer. Maybe it really does not exist. So in lieu of real photos it has to be said that maybe the car is only a fignewton of your imagination. LOL

We need real pictures. Welcome to the Coupe world. It's really a great ride and I enjoy mine very, very much.

i just can't seem to get enough pepperwhite/black comb as mine is being built in oxford at the moment.
perhaps i should've seen one before i ordered one
supposedly pepperwhite/black combo is the most sold combo yet my dealer did not have a single on in stock
