Not Completely New here - but New MINI!
Hello All!
I just wanted to reintroduce myself and post about my new MINI!
Back last year, I bought a 2013 MINI Cooper Hardtop (Justa) that I absolutely loved. Well, long story short, I got tired of having to drive my wife's car (Scion xD) everywhere because none of our friends or family wanted to sit in the back (or weren't able due to health issues).
Initially I wanted to stay with MINI. Didn't like the Paceman or Countryman (sorry guys and gals) and after I failed to get a Clubman in my price range, I took advantage of clearance 2013 Hondas and traded it for a Civic Si. It was an okay car, maybe even a good one; But it wasn't a MINI.
Only 6 months went by before my wife saw my disappointment in the Civic and told me it was "okay to trade the Civic for another MINI if I wanted" (did I mention I have an awesome wife?).
So... I did! I looked at a F56 Hardtop, Base Convertible, and a few configurations of Clubman. Eventually, I picked up a 2014 Clubman S at a great price from Global Imports here in Atlanta!
It's a 2014 Clubman S with Sport package, blackout lights, and roof rails... While not my first choice for equipment, it ended up being quite a nice package!
So now I am back in a MINI and I can carry people around as necessary! The Clubman is PERFECT for us!
Anyway, just saying 'Hi' (again)! Glad to be (once again) part of the MINI community!
