Introducing CHLOE!!

Hello all! My name is Lori and after much debating on what my next car would be and much searching for the right Mini, I've finally purchased a 2008 CR 6spd hardtop. I initially fell in love with a Countryman, then realized it was not 100% me. I searched around thereafter for a Clubman and realized due to it's limited production numbers, it was a bit more than I was willing to pay for a used Mini. And on the very day I sold my old car, a 2006 Scion tC with 145,000 miles, I came across some selling this gem with 36,000 miles and all maintenance done through Mini of Orlando. So I picked her up last weekend and could not be happier! I'm excited to be part of NAM and to learn all about the R56 and Mini in general. I also look forward to joining Sunshine State Minis and meeting some folks in the Tampa area. Please feel free to comment and point me in the direction of any meets events or people in the area. Thank you and I leave you with Chloe

Nice looking MINI.
Hope you hook up with fellow MINIacs in your area.
We actually have an 87 degree day ahead of us in the NW.... but I won't claim we are the sunshine state.

Welcome to NAM, Lori and congrats on Chloe, your new MINI with some amazing low milage. She looks fantastic and very well cared for. I'm sure you two will have many enjoyable motoring adventures ahead. Whatever you do, please don't forget the MINI wave.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys! I appreciate it. Mr. T now that you mention it most every one that I've seen in a MINI has waved at me. It makes me smile every time! It's like a joined a tight knit family without ever realizing it.
