Hello Motorers!

Hello, fellow MINI Motorers!

My name is Gabe I drive a SS MCSa, R56. I've had the car (first car) for about 1 year and 6 months. Absolutely love it, driving on the country roads in my area is a blast.

At times I really wish my car was a manual transmission. My car was sort of a graduation surprise from my parents but I took over the payments so they surprised me by helping me finance a MINI. So that's why I have an auto, it's bitter sweet as it's still fast and I can shift (sort of) when I choose to.

I rememeber when I first had it I did not have a license so I would sit in it and read the manual for a long time. It was very interesting and a fun read. Sadly I feel like other MINI drivers in my area did not read the manual as they do not waive back when I try. I try to keep the MINI community alive in my area.

In search of a MINI community that I could interact with I made an Instagram just for my car you guys should check it out. Maybe you're already following! @squirttheminicooper. If you have an Instagram check it out you don't have to follow if you really don't want to. You could even ask me to post your MINI to the page if you'd like all MINI's are welcome to that page.

Thank you all for taking the time to read my short MINI story!

See you on the road,

-Gabe
