New Guy-used '08 Zug

Just bought a nice '08 Pepper White Zug. Lots of options and new runflats. I'll be setting it up to tow behind my 34ft motorhome as soon as the baseplate gets here. I have a Falcon all terain towbar & a evenbrake setup for it.
I'm a retired (mostly) cabinetmaker so if I can ever help any of you out with wood questions, shoot.

The motorhome/fun car combination sounds like an excellent way to spend some retirement time. Congrats.

A little history in my desire for a Cooper. In '67, a year out of Vietnam, I built a 1700cc VW autocross toy and regularly got my a$$ whupped by Mini Coopers. Now, that VW was not slow, it could corner and take a Mini in the straights. Just couldn't stay with a Mini in the twisties. So, now at 73, I have a cool 'toad', a fun car, and my wife likes it too!
Maybe another 10 years before I slow down.....

Awesome. Glad you finally acquired the car that gave you a run for your money back then.
