I've admired Mini's since seeing them in Germany while stationed there in the mid 1980's.

I had been looking and admiring them for a few months when I went to the dealership and they were offering a one day special of $3500 off MSRP as Mini Takes the States went through Louisville.

This offered sealed the deal and I am now the proud owner of a Mini Cooper hardtop in British Racing Green with a black roof. First car I've ever felt any kind of attachment to.

Already decided I want to add stripes and possibly black out some of the chrome.

 

Sounds like you got a good deal, congratulations on your purchase. The great thing with the Mini is you now make it yours. Mod away!
