Hello from Pacific Northwest

Hello All!

A new member here and a new mini owner. I have already found some useful information on the site for my new family addition!

I found myself a used 2011 Cooper S. Has just under 13000 miles. 6 speed manual. Base car with 3 options (xenon headlamps, leatherette, sport suspension). Dealer had it for $22k, worked them down to $19950, thought it was a fair deal, however the darn test drive just sealed the deal for me. I have to say I did not think I would ever own a mini. Since the redesigned mini came out in 2001 never gave them the credit they deserved. This little car is a blast!

I am a car enthusiast and nothing is more fun to me than a drive in an automobile. My previous cars include:

2010 Jeep Wrangler 2 door
2011 WRX sedan
2006 911 C4

So I like to think I know a thing or two about a fine driving machine and am just pleased to bits so far with the mini.
