Hi! His and Hers Minis!

Hi everyone!

Two mini family checking in for the first time.

Hers: 2017 Pure Burgundy Clubman on 17" Black nets, automatic.
His: 2017 Pepper White Mini Cooper S on 17" Black Cosmos, manual.

This is my wife's 3rd Mini (gen2 Mini and gen3 Mini, both Cooper Justas). This is my first. I have always been a muscle car/truck kinda guy, but having to occasionally drive my wife caused me to fall in love with Minis.

I traded in my Trailblazer SS for my MCS. My new Mini is so much more fun to drive, and good bye 12 mpg!

Ill post pics with them together when I get a chance.

Everyone have a great 4th of July!

+1 Mine described in the sig below and her's a '15 CM justa ordered to her specs. I get to drive it when the tank needs topped off...there's a dent in the floorboard where the clutch should be.

Welcome. We have 3 of them, all different, why get the same thing? Me/wife/son. Daughter doesn't drive yet and I'm pretty sure she wants something odd and different, like a 50's for 60's car. Although if I got her a MINI pretty sure that would work.

Welcome to NAM.

Only thing better than owning a Mini is owning two.

Welcome to NAM. Once the MINI brand is in your blood, you will never shake it. Enjoy the adventure. Make sure to check for clubs in your area. It is a fun culture.
