Hello everyone! My name is Kari, and I'm excited to say that I am the proud new owner of a 2012 Mini Hardtop in Ice Blue :3

I saw her online at the Mini of Portland website and she had a custom license plate that said "Jinjur," (I'm a redhead) and I just knew it was fate and that we were meant to be together! Thankfully when I contacted the dealership the next day she was still there. I went to look at her two days later and the rest is history.

She's just a regular hardtop with automatic transmission, but it seems like her previous owner loved her very much and took great care of her. She had 17,500 miles on her when I received her which I thought was quite a lot, but I've only had her two days and I've driven 300 miles because she's so much fun to drive so now I understand

Anyway here's a pic of us in my driveway. Sorry it's dark but we spent all day cruising around!

Nice. Looking good!

 

I love your story! As a new MINI hardtop owner, I understand your love. What an awesome beginning--I'm looking forward to more photos from Jinjur & you!

 

Thanks Nadia! Even my Mom, who doesn't believe in things like fate, and who isn't superstitious thinks we were meant to be together. Also, she says she's really jealous and wants a Mini now. I think I've created a monster, not sure I should have let her have my spare key XD

 

Congratulations on the find. Great looking MINI. Enjoy the sunshine we're having this week in PDX.

 

Welcome aboard, the fun is just beginning!

 

Wow, 17k miles in 1 year. First owner really drove the wheels off that one.

 

myoung I know, I was quite shocked myself, but it was a good bargaining chip for me

Also she was certified preowned, and had an extended warranty from the previous owner!
