Just bought a new Cooper Coupe on Thursday. My father has owned several MG's and has two at the moment, so it only seemed fitting to buy a Mini.

This is my midlife crisis car. I looked at a few others but once I saw the coupe, I completely fell in love. I even got a "kick *** car, dude!" from a local red neck (I'm near Detroit, so this is "Ford's" country.

Everyone agrees that it is a cool car and once I get over the tech shock of all of the gadgets inside, I look forward to a long relationship.
