New Owner Intro

Just became a MINI owner yesterday. Picked up my 2013 MINI Cooper Roadster at Portland MINI yesterday. What a fun car! I have been looking for excuses to go out driving not to mention taking the longest twistiest way there and back.
The weather has been pretty bleak but I did get six whole minutes of top down motoring in last night. This time of year you take what you can get.
Trying to digest all the instructions on manipulating settings and using the audio system. But it's all good.
After 30 years of SAAB ownership what a change!
Looking forward to a long and enjoyable relationship with my rag top.

-Gary in Portland, OR
