Hello,
I just picked up a 08 R56 for the wife.
Her 99 VW Passat was getting long in the tooth, and a Mini is what she wanted. After looking at all the options in our region, we found a S model 08 in Chili Red up in Denver. Did the deal and took it home.
She is very excited, as it has the Sport, Cold Weather, and Sunroof options.
I signed up here to keep her car running and researching all the tips and tricks only a dedicated forum can give. Looking forward to becoming a longtime member and Mini enthusiast.
See youall out on the road.

 

Congrats! You are lucky to llive in such a beautiful area. We just returned froom Minis In the Mountains. If you are in the Colorad area, you may want to look up the 5280 club. Great bunch of people!

 

Welcome to NAM and congrats on the new MINI. I also was an 99 VW Passat owner, it was a GLX. Loved that car but traded it for a 02 Passat GLX, then for a 12 VW CC. That's where my VW lineage ended. Traded the CC for my Roadster and I couldn't be happier.

We'd love to see some pics of your MINI!

 

Yes we are in Colorado Springs, we will look up the Mile High Mini Club, thanks for the info.

As soon as my wife stays home for more than a few minutes, I might be able to get picture. She's pretty excited. Hell I might even get some.
