New Mini owner from Houston, TX
 
I just acquired a 2012 Mini Cooper S. This has go to be the most fun I've had in a car that I've owned yet!

I've owned mostly BMWs and VWs in my life so this should be a fun departure without getting too far from my automobile comfort zone.

Looking forward to learning a lot!

As requested, now I just need to deal with the gap above the wheels.

I haven't decided if I'll do coil overs or sport springs.

Houston doesn't deal with snow, so you're good to go low. Looking good!
