Hey gang,
My name is Robert and I'm a total Britophile. Been needing to get a new car - looked at various brands and models over the last few months. Finally made up my mind and on New Years' eve-eve I grabbed a schweet, totally cherry '07 Sidewalk Cabrio and have been bitten by the MINI bug big time! I have other fast and crazy vehicles, but needed a 'normal' car for normal everyday uses. Couldn't come up with anything much better for the $$ than a MINI, and driving excitement was a big factor in my decision, if not downright overriding. Besides, this is about as 'normal' as I'm going to get anyway... So there
I love how large and devoted the online community is here, and I look forward to many years of motoring fun and forum interaction! When's the next SoCal gathering? I'll so be there!
Cheers all

 

Welcome to NAM, and congrats on a fine choice of MINI! You've found probably the best MINI community on the interwebz; lots of friendly advice & helpful members here, and whackadoodle driver enthusiasts too.

Enjoy the ride and the experience, and post pics!

 

Its great getting to meet another MINIac! Welcome to the fun.

 

Welcome to the family. Good luck post some pics and then go out and drive.
