I got one I got one!!

Hello all, this is my first Mini ever and I love it! Im looking forward to learning all about Mini on the forum. I cant wait to drive it some more, man what fun!

Its a 2015 with 31,000 miles on it. I wasnt even looking for a car, let alone a Mini and I saw this gem on a local dealer website. Took it for a test drive and that is all it took! Sorry im very excited to be a Mini owner!

John

Welcome to MINI.

Was at a restaurant for lunch and the waitress saw my friend's Dragon t-shirt. Asked what cars we had and when we said MINI, she said they were "so cute". We said, no, they handled very well.

So was it the "cute" or the handling?

The "cute" or better yet, "sporty" look is what attracted me to the car in the first place, but yes I agree it was the handling had me hooked! And all of the gadgets and gizmos! I come from driving Jeeps, relatively simple until recent years but still not a lot of gadgets and gizmos. Ive also had MGs very simple little cars. The Mini is a new and great experience!

I had a 73 Harvest Gold MGB. On curvy roads I kept up with my Cousin's 1970 396 SS Chevelle. Ever sense always liked small well handling cars. You have just that in your S.
