Mini Newbie!

I drove home Monday in my very first Mini. It's a Kite Blue Clubman S, and I am loving it! I traded my 2009 Dodge Challenger R/T in for it, and everyone thinks I've lost my mind and gone crazy. So I figured I would come here to feel some 'Mini love'. They just don't understand, but I am loving my new toy! I'm looking forward to poking around the forum here and seeing what's up in the world of Mini. Oh yeah, the license plate is from my R/T. As soon as the records are fully updated in DMV, I will be replacing with 'BIIG FUN', already reserved.

Thanks! It really grabbed my eye right away, I was drawn to it. I do get a lot of compliments on the color, and I love the black accents with it too.

Welcome to the world of MINIacs. Very nice car and color! Your MINI's acceleration, handling through the turns, and good gas mileage will help you forget your Challenger very quickly. Enjoy!

Thanks everyone! I have already learned that this little gem has more passenger room than my big Challenger did. A friend over 6ft tall was very comfy in the back seat with plenty of head room and leg room, whereas he used to have to slump down and lay across the seat to keep his head off of the roof and find room for his legs. And the way this thing zips around is like driving a luxury go-cart, I am loving it!
