Greetings from Virginia Beach

Hello Everybody,

Tomorrow I will be on my way to pick up my first Mini and indeed my first car. After extensive research, my personal requirements and preferences were fulfilled in a 2007 Mini Cooper (non-s) from Carmax.

It is Lightning Blue Metallic with white mirror caps, roof, and stripes. It also has the wood accented interior, which I haven't ever seen. And my favorite option, a 6-speed Manual!

I am very excited to enter into the Mini Owners group and to start doing some mods to make my Mini mine!

Thanks for the warm welcome,
Golden_Eag20

Hey! Welcome to the Mini family

I'm down in Florida now but used to live in the Virginia Beach area!

Glad you got a Mini and hope you enjoy it.

if you got the wood steering wheel and shifter you got one of the few as I did ......


they pulled back on this quickly so you car must be an early 7 build ....


later 'English oak' cars did not get the wheel or the shifter


I went in to buy something else and learned they had a BRG/white with tan leather and 'oak' dash arriving ..... what would be a more CLASSIC combination? I HAD to buy it
