Greetings from another gearhead

The wife wanted a different car and liked the Minis. We sold my first gen Boxster S, found a local 2013 Cooper S Bayswater Edition with 26K and adopted it. It must be a pretty fun car to drive because in the last 14 months, I think I've only driven it 5 or 6 times. This is our first Mini, but we've had BMWs, Saabs, Porsches, and Lexi. We have had other British cars, an MG, a Triumph TR6 and the Mini is currently sharing the garage with a Salvador Blue 1956 TR3. I've been lurking on the forum for a while, but finally have a question for the group. Hats off to this group for actually helping each other solve problems and share fun!

Welcome to NAM! My wife made me get my own - she got tired of my Mini envy.

Welcome to NAM.

We do have a section here somewhere on "possible spousal excuses" where you are able to read various excuses on why you have to drive the car.

Hi and welcome to NAM!
So many families end up with more than one Mini! They are so much more than a transportation vehicle!
Pics?

Welcome love your collection as I've had many MGs and even have a classic Mini.
