Checking in from Rhode Island

Good evening all! I had been looking for a change for some time. I got out of my 2013 Dodge Ram and wanted to try something new. I started looking at the A4 Audi until I ran across the Cooper S. My focus quickly moved. I drove a few used and was quite impressed. Before I committed to a purchase I poked around a bit and found my 2008. I have to say it is probably the most fun I have had with a car and I have been the happiest with it. Naturally the mod bug bit me and the list has been built. I am super excited to hang out with everyone and hope to see you around!

yes it is quite the change. It was kind of the point in getting it. I loved that truck. I do miss the 400hp and the cargo space lol but i am happy with the mini.

Hi Jiminy,
Warwick guy here. Just got a new F56 MCS in Moonwalk Gray for Christmas. (Gave it to myself!)
My first Mini and I'm loving it. Best of luck with your new beauty, hope to see you on the road!
