New Italian Member!

hello to everyone! I'm Andrea and I'm Italian, I live in a town near Milan and I met you on the net. I think this is the best forum in the world of MINI! I own a Mini Cooper SD R56 from September 2013, before I had a volkswagen Lupo. I don't know if there is the Cooper SD in America.
Sorry for my bad english

Greetings Andrea! No need to apologize for your English, it's better than many of those who were born here. The MINI diesel may never reach our shores, but the Alfa Romeo is due to return to the U.S.

Another beautiful Italian-http://www.forbes.com/sites/joannmuller/2014/04/17/no-more-teasing-alfa-romeo-finally-returns-to-u-s/

thank you very much! I knew that alfa would be back in the united states!
and i also imagine that there is no diesel in the usa, especially for cars like the minis!
but here in europe there's more diesel car than gasoline, the Cooper SD is 2.0 litres 143 hp... this is the n47 (the engine of bmw 318d)

Benvenuto! No Cooper SD in the USA, many have said they would enjoy the option to purchase one. And your English is as good as anyone here :-)

Do you participate with a MINI club there?

Greating, Andrea and welcome to NAM. We'd love to see a few pics of that MINI of yours. Happy motoring. Do Italians even do the MINI wave?
