After a few trips to a dealership, Prestige in Ramsey NJ, I got a great deal on an '09 Cooper in Pepper White. Although I didn't fall in love with the color at the time, the test drove sold me above and beyond. I lost sleep over how much fun it was to drive and I had to go back to get it. After driving it a few days the color has grown on me.

I am coming from an '05 Mazda 3 that was very reliable and fun, definitely recommend it to anyone -- if you like your car with no soul. I am in Northern NJ by the Ringwood area, and I look forward to becoming part of the Mini community.

I will likely make a new thread in the proper place, but I am looking for some black wheels to replace the stock ones. If you are selling a set, please message me! I found this web site through MiniMania.com, where I purchased some little pieces for the new car.

Nice to meet all of you!

 

I've bought 2 from Prestige. Love my MA. Welcome to the Mini family and NAM. This is a great community. There is also a NJ Mini club on here as well.

 

welcome car looks great

 

Actually, MoonShadow, if you could point me in the right direction of the NJ club that'd be great! There is a ton of info on here!

Thanks guys! :D

 

Congrats! I just placed my order through prestige.

 

Congrats on the sharp looking car!

 

Welcome...and I like the color.
;-)

 

Welcomes and Congrats

 

Staggs clubs are located on the main forum selection under category Club and Regional which is down toward the bottom. Then you will see Minis of NJ (MONJ).

 

Congrats, and I also got a 09 Clubman S last week. Color does grow on you, but I will be adding some light tint to the car to give it a little more black. Enjoy, and funny you mentioned the test drive. It sold me as well.

 

Exactly what I am thinking. Needs some darker windows, and some darker wheels as well :D

My list of cosmetic mods grows long...
