His and Hers Mini Coopers: An Introduction & Photoshoot from California



Hello everyone!


My fiancée and I are the proud new owners of these two beautiful Mini Coopers. I owned a 2007 R56S for a number of years, but recently traded it in towards a 2015 Moonwalk Gray F55 6MT. The same day my fiancée picked up a stunning 2015 British Racing Green R59 Roadster S 6AT, which happens to be her first Mini.

Needless to say really, but both of us absolutely love our new Minis (and we're pretty much convinced that we're the coolest couple around). To celebrate, we drove the pair of them out to Bodega Bay so I could photograph them while they were still in mint condition.

Enjoy!

Welcome to NAM! This is probably the "prettiest" introduction thread I've ever seen. In all seriousness, great pictures. It is pretty awesome that you two both got new MINI's. I'm sure you'll both enjoy them for years to come!

Welcome to the MINIacs!

WOW! Super nice shots... I would guess you are a professional photographer ... the shots reflect it.

Great pair of cars.

Motor on!

One day in the future I want to add a roadster to my stable, hopefully I will find one as amazing as the one in your pictures.

Thanks. Yeah, it was originally just going to be me who got a new car, but when she saw the roadster she just had to have it.

That's what one of the guys at the dealership told me right before we left. I had no idea it was such a rare interior.
