Semi-new owner from fl

Hey guys well I joined a month ago but I just found out about this section of NAM... Anyways got my MINI earlier this month. The story: After scouring cars.com and autotrader I finally came across THE MINI after a month long search that included me test driving a mcs that I loved but didn't get considering its bumper had an inch wide hole and the dealer (non mini) was selling as is with basically no tread on the tires. Either way I found my MINI nowhere near me... In Michigan some 1500 miles away. The owner was very nice it was a pepper white/white mcs with 9000 miles. Ok the hard part now: how the heck am I gonna find time to bring it over to south FL? Thank goodness for my dad who lives in VA he flew there, the guy picked him up etc. transaction done he drives it to VA. I was anxious by this time... I had to wait a grueling two weeks before he could make the trip, he loved it by the way. He then brought it over and I now love my 2011 Mini Cooper s. it's great.

Welcome! Great story by the way. I'm not sure I would let my Dad make the pick up on my new ride as I might never see it again

thanks! I absolutely love my MCS. Only thing I would change: Xenon headlamps. Other than that its great and soon when I get the $ I'm gonna start making minor mods like de-chroming and such. The car came with a CAI so there's some money saved
