Hello new friends!

Just bought my first Mini. It's a 2016 Cooper S Hardtop JCW black on black. I had driven my GF's 2008 Hardtop S and 2013 Countryman S and always liked them. Our local dealership is so much different and better than any other car dealership I have ever used and so I took the plunge and am loving it! I look forward to making new friends and learning more about Mini motoring from you all!




The Black Beauty at rest

...and welcome. Congrats on both your new car and that you apparently live in a war climate, as I shiver here in Philly.

That is a great looking car. I live near too much dust to enjoy a black Mini but my dark blue "15 S isn't much better.


Enjoy (one of your own)

Thanks for the welcome!

Eric It is warm here for sure. I grew up in Syracuse, NY so I get where you're at about this time of year.

SunTee yeah right now the pollen from Oaks and Pines is coating everything so frequent washing is necessary to keep it looking it's best.

Grats and welcome. I'm in upstate NY and the weather just sucks. I can't keep my Mini clean for nothing.

SunTee tinting this weekend but likely just a black 25% as I have difficulty seeing at night with the darker tints
