New To The Mini



Hello From Houston!
I recently purchased my first Mini Cooper; 2011 Cooper S convertible, fairly well optioned, Horizon Blue/Carbon Black. It may see some mild mods though I tend to keep things close to stock. Probably look for oem 17" wheels and a mild intake.
I have multiple Acura Legends (100% stock) and Fiat 500's, all are 3 pedal vehicles with the exception of the Fiat 500E, 100% plug in electric along with a few others.
Interested in seeing what local mini groups are in town.
Thanks!
Wayne

Congrats and welcome. Beautiful car. Hopefully it's still looking this good with all the flooding and rain.

Thank you for the compliments; I haven't seen too many of this color combo in a convertible.
I'm in the Galleria area inside the loop. We had water lapping at the foundation and thresholds. Water was down yesterday evening but we're currently in round II. All the vehicles are high, dry and safe for now.
I've been more fortunate then allot of people; it's been heartbreaking to see those who have lost everything. Some have been within a few miles...
Thanks
W-
