Bought my wife a Mini, may have to steal it from her!

Our family just joined the Mini family! My wife's previous car toasted it's CVT transmission, and she has always wanted a Mini. So with the help of this forum's great info, I found her the perfect little commuter car... a 2012 R56 MCS with a 6 speed. Includes most of the bells and whistles (Nav, Comfort access, connectivity group, etc).

The only problem is, I like the car so much I just may steal it away from her!

Great little cars with big features! Maybe you will become a two Mini family!

I bought my wife one because her van gets 11mpg and my jeep gets 14mpg. Now I'm driving the mini most days because I do a lot more miles than her.

Funny how that works! You bought it for wife and now you drive it! You may have to buy another, to keep the peace!
Good Luck!

Looks just great, congrats! Love the checkered flag roof. Any other mods already made to it, or you are thinking about?
