New to Mini's!
 
Hello NAMotoring!

Looking forward to contributing to the community! My Dad just picked up a Pepper White 2012 R56 Cooper S, but before you ask what that has to do to me let me explain :grin:

My dads always been a hardworking man who always gave selflessly to others and now is my time to do something for him that he deserves.
:popcorn:

Naturally, as soon as he got the Mini to his house be began scouring the internet, "window shopping," if you will. While he had no intentions of actually purchasing much of what he was browsing I saw it as an awesome opportunity to do something for him to show him how much I appreciate all that he had done for me growing up.:thumbsup:

That being said the purpose of his account will be used to share and chronicle the progression of his Mini!

Also follow along on Instagram & Twitter:

Thanks for reading!

PS: Pardon the cheesy name, creativity is not a strong suit of mine!
