New MINI owner

Howdy! Bought myself a 15 MCS a few weeks back simply for fuel mileage and the fact that it is pretty much the only kickass looking subcompact on the market.

Have always been a jeep and pickup guy, have never owned a car. was tired of using a metric ton of fuel for work in my jeep so I went with something fuel efficient..... A test drive later and I'm absolutey in love with this little car! It's so much fun to drive around in, something I was not expecting.

All in all I had to get online and find more folks into MINIS just like I do with jeep forums. Glad to be here!

Welcome to the MINIacs!

Sounds like you have been bitten by the bug.

Motor on!

Thanks for the welcome! I just picked one off the lot, so no waiting for me! Volcanic orange mcs, bonnet stripes, cold weather package, arm rest, manual. Still trying to figure out why power folding mirrors are in the cold weather package??

Tint all around and some wheels may be in my future

Looks great! Loving that color. 3SDM wheels look pretty awesome on Mini's. Should check them out.

Welcome, yes the PF comes with certain packages. VO seems to be a very popular color on the F56.

NM Engineering wheels are very nice on the F56. Light weight and look good on VO and tint.
