New to the "MINI SCENE"

Fellow Mini Enthusiasts!

My name is Elijah,

I am 21 years old, and recently decided that it was time to go back to school and finish what i started..

I traded in my 2010 Camaro for a 2003 Mini Cooper "S",

I hated to see the Camaro go, but didn't realize what I had gotten in return.

Driving my mini was satisfying enough, but my friend took me for a ride in his. I don't know all of the details, but 297hp and i was hooked!

What a fun little car, and think, to go that fast and get the gas mileage i was attempting to get in my Camaro!

Long story short, I am very excited to "mod my mini" and read and share stories with fellow Mini/Car enthusiasts!


MOTOR ON!

Welcome. Funny enough, the president of my company flew in yesterday and was given a Camero SS as a rental. He told me to take it for a spin out to one of our vendors. I was NOT impressed with that car. My mini pulls harder than that and is overall just more fun to drive. Granted the camero would end up pulling away at top speed, but it's the getting there that does it for me.

Welcome and enjoy your MINI. This is the most fun car I have every owned and I sold my BMW 3 series convertible to buy my MINI. Three very fun years! Have fun.

Hi! I am soon-to-be....probably today, the new owner of a mini-s. I retired a few years ago and decided to give up my Volvo for a FUN car. Can hardly wait. I haven't been this excited since I got my '67 Camaro (in 1969). Like you, hated giving up my old car, but am thrilled with my mini. Happy driving!
