Fell in love with the minis about 12 years ago, but at the time my wife and I had a child on the way, and I just couldnt get her to understand how practical a mini would be for our growing family.

About 6 years ago, I was about to pull the trigger on one and as I was making the final deal I found out the car had frame damage.


A couple of weeks ago I decided to trade in my old car, and started looking around. I had completly given up on getting a mini. I had even found what I thought would fill my needs via carmax and had them ship a car up from Texas (probably need to tell them I wont be needing that car after all).

And then two days ago while casually scanning the common websites I came across a small little beauty in the way of a 2013 min cooper S with 8,000 miles on her. And about 7k cheaper than I was looking to spend.

Green, Checkered Top, Racing Stripes, Black Wheels...... Yes, Yes, she is mine

I finally made it, and just wanted to say hello. I look forward to reading and learning here on the forums
