Hello From Northern California
Hello Everyone:
Mini Newbie here...after years of admiring all things Mini, two weeks ago I stopped by a dealership to test drive a Coupe. Fell in love the moment Mrs. Peel came into view; was totally gone the moment I put the car into gear. Immediately sold my Mercedes SLK 320 and purchased a 2013 British Racing Green II, manual, Coupe S. I was so in love, I did not shop around, nor did I consider building my own (no patience for waiting). I did bargain hard and was able to buy at $900.00 below invoice. I am one happy, happy, owner. Mrs. Peel has: JCW exterior package, center armrest, heated front seats, and piano black interior surface. I have never had so much fun driving--can't stop smiling!

Welcome to NAM, and to the madness that a MINI can inflict. I felt exactly the same way the first time I saw mine. 
She slapped a big, stupid, ear-to-ear smile on my face that instantly reappears every time I turn the key.
Drive her in good health!

I went into the dealer almost 10 years ago to drive a Cooper S to get it out of my system. Once behind the wheel, I was hooked. I ordered Sadie, sold it to a friend after driving for 7 years. I bought Cherry Crush, gave it to my daughter. I just got Bernadette last month (CM). I love the thrill of driving MINIs!
