New to Mini and to forum

Hi, Ive been bitten by the bug for sure! Over the past several years, Mini's have started to grab my attention. Before long, I started getting more and more intrigued. Last week I saw a used 2015 F56 at a local dealership with whom ive done a lot of business. I did something very bad! I Test drove it! Now im planning on buying it if all goes well. I have done a bit of research even well before I went to the dealership, however im always learning more and love to learn about Minis! Ive had a few MGs in my day and appreciate a British Sports Car.

Im looking forward to owning a Mini and learning all I can on this forum. If things dont work out for whatever reason on this particular purchase, Im mind set on getting a Mini regardless.

John

Welcome to the forum. I've been wanting one for 'bout 2 decades and finally bit the bullet. I understand the feeling. It's like being a kid in a candy store when 1st owning one. Enjoy ...

Welcome, but a British Sports Car is not what you will be getting. The F56 which I really enjoy is a German BMW assembled in England.

Hi John,
Your story sounds familiar, as many start as you are. The test drive is always the catch that forces the buy!
We know you will be around with a Mini soon!
Congrats on your first steps.
Nothing drives like a MINI!
