MoTD 2013

I was in NC last spring on a motorcycle trip and i loved all the MINI's running about. I swore I'd get one, but didn't. Last week I happened to be in NC again on a motorcycle trip, seeing all the MINI's made me wish i had one. I am swearing to get a MINI. But....This time the wife is on board. She really wants one too. So, we are shopping as i type. I'm looking forward to being part of your community. Mike

Welcome and good luck shopping. What are you looking for, model-wise? New or used? S or non-S, etc. There are a few must-have options IMO and we here have a general consensus (Xenons, Harmon-Kardon, Auto AC, etc).

Definitely need an "S". I'm honestly on the fence between the hard-top and clubman. I like the idea of a bit more space. I'm looking at "pre-loved" MINI's. i just don't have the capital for that new car smell.

Don't think you will regret it........keep 'us' posted. AND be sure you post a picture if you get one or your punishment could be severe ......it could lead to Bramincarceration!! ........you've been warned.

Here she is. 06 R53 with 75k on the clock. It has a few boo boo's that need massaging but over all i love love love it. I'm taking all the black off and going back to chrome, mainly due to the fact that the plastidip is coming off and looks trashy. I do love the "bruiser" look though. We shall see.
