New To Owning Mini's

I wanted to purchase a Mini. So my husband found a great used one. It is the Cooper S 2008(the yellow with stripes). So after a few months of ownership, my husband drove my two door and liked driving it. So our local luxury car dealership had one (used) and he pulled in the lot. We came out with our second Mini, his is the yellow/lime Clubman,2011. We traded in a BMW station wagon and have been so happy since he traded. So now we are a happy couple with two Mini's in the drive way. We also, have a Z-3 Coupe, 1999 BMW, which we will never sell. But we drive the Mini's more than the Z-3.

Saw about 20 Mini's at Citadel Mall one Saturday morning meeting there, as I drove my granddaughter to work. I wondered what group this was and my husband and I would like to get involved with a Mini group. I did not stop that morning as I was not prepared to meet strangers!!!!! I see more older people (but very very young at heart) driving the Mini's in Charleston. Like riding our Harley, we always wave to Mini's. Hope to meet new owners..jak051209

Welcome, you guys certainly like your motorized vehicles. We have 2 cars for 2.5 drivers, son is away at school. When he is here we always conflict over using the mini.

Welcome! I like the 'never sell' Z3 coupe attitude.
