New to me: 2006 Mini S Convertible

Just introducing myself. After tragically ending a 12 year relationship with a Nissan 350Z, I am starting a new relationship with a pre-owned 2006 Mini. We have had the car for about a month, and have already been introduced to new strut mounts and the Trifecta. This is not our first British car, so I am sure to be back here checking out some of her other quirks. 'Til then, keep motoring!

On Sunday, the temperatures reached 70 degrees, (unseasonably warm) so we decided to make the best of it.

The dogs really like the experience!




Our three furry children love their top-down motoring.

That's a great looking rear seat crew. Pups love an open car!
