My first Mini!

I there! Thanks to the generous help of the folks here I decided to snag a pepper white Mini Hardtop. So far I am totally in love with it. I never thought I'd get another manual but I love it. I'll post pictures once I get somewhere that will take a nice picture.

Welcome to NAM and congrats on your new MINI. O.K., we'll give you a little time for the pics, but not too much time.

Hmmm I made a post that had all the pics, it said it was moderated, for whatever reason. Hopefully it will pop up! Cant wait to get the stripes. There was club van in the same color with the black sport stripes and it looked sharp! So i'm super excited.

Edit: Lets try this differently!

We took her in the first of many small road trips. I'm astounded by how good the mileage is on it. Was averaging about 45 all the way down.

Very nice. You will have some fun driving now. I have had mine for about a year and a half. Went out yesterday to run a quick errand and ended up on some back roads just driving and smiling.....it doesn't get routine at all. Have fun!
