First Mini!!!

Hey everybody,

I bought a 2005 MINI Cooper S (6-speed) yesterday. It's got 89,000 miles on it and I paid $9,500 for it from a guy down the road from me. The car is in great shape for an 05 - SUPER CLEAN. It has a bunch of options such as the navigation system, sun roof, and heated seats. He even had all off the service records. I am so excited about this car, as it is quite an improvement over my 1994 Honda Civic EX with 257,000 miles on it.

I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for roof racks? I have a mountain bike and would love to take my MINI when I go riding instead of my wife's RAV 4.

Lawrence
