First time MINI owner

Hey guys I'm Rocky and I live in Fort Walton Beach Fl. I just ordered my very first MINI. We ordered a 2015 CountrymanS All4, manual in Jungle green metallic. It's not suppose to get here until 24 Oct 14 but heres hoping for an early delivery. I walked into MINI saw the color and fell in love. This MINI is the nicest car I've ever owned so we went with all the goodies except the CONNECT, it didn't really appeal to me at all. The end result is to go for a "jungle/safari" look. Jungle green and Copper colors, I think. I'm really excited to learn more about the car and experience this whole MINInation!!! Thanks guys!!

I will hope it does too (for your sake of course)! Let me know how you like it because sooner, preferably later, my wife and I will have to move up to the larger one for kids. Looking at the Countryman, 5 door hardtop, and even the new Clubman coming later... hard choices!

I'll definitelt let you know man. I got to drive one around for a bit that had some aftermarket stuff done to and really enjoyed his. He had his lifted with a stiffer suspension which is something I'll definitely be looking into.

Thanks😄 I wasn't 100% on it at first and then I walked into the dealer and they had one inside and we fell inlove with the color. It's a little lighter and has this really nice Pearl metallic clear coat that doesn't show well on the website. I'm pretty happy with my color decision.

Welcome to NAM, Don't forget to wave. And don't give up if the first few don't wave back.

Yeah, I've owned a Jeep, WRX and have had a sport bike through all of it. I'm more than accustomed to the waiving.
