My introduction

Hi all, I am a mini fan and have been since my teen age years, I was ffortunate to go to high school in europe and my uncle had a cooper 1.2 gray, one center speedo and a plank across as a glove compartment! he had a momo steering wheel. fast forward a ton of years later the fever came back so I went for a test drive and I have been smiling since, even the wife says I am in a better mood. I am currently looking to purchase a mini which must eb a cooper s (I live in Boston) and hopefully I can conclude a deal this weekend (if the storm don't hit!).
Hopefully I will be joining the rank of mini owner very soon!

a local dealer has a 2008 cooper s with 50k on the clock, leather seats, only thing I don't like is that its gray and white trim (roof, bonnet stripes, mirror caps and wheels)
if I do get it I will probably have to paint/buy new wheels get new black stripes and roof decal as well as black jack mirror caps

There is virtually nothing you can't change on a Mini to make it fit your personal style. I have removed stripes, painted mirror caps, painted fender flares, added new stripes and wheels.... endless possibilities.

Have fun and welcome to the club!
