I just wanted to swing through and introduce myself. My name is James and my brother-in-law is a die-hard MINI enthusiast and owner and got me into them. My girlfriend and I purchased a 2008 Cooper S for her to use for her primary vehicle in August and we couldn't be happier with it. I have enjoyed it so much that I believe I will be picking one up for myself this year to garage and dress up, so I will be trolling the Sale forum frequently.lol And I look forward to learning more about these awesome cars from everyone, they definitely put the joy back in driving.
