New Countryman owner

Hi there New F60 owner here. My name is Alicia but my friends all call me Leash, so you can too
Any other moms with small kids here? I drive around my 2 and 4 year old in the back and I would love to meet others on here who do the same! We can talk about which car seats are best lol. I'm from Pensacola FL. A nice couple in the drivethrough of Chik-fil-a stopped me and told me about this site. So if you are on here, hello and thanks for the reccomendation! Please say hello if that was you!

Drove to TN the day after I bought it!

So much fun!
This is actually my 4th MINI. My first was an 04 hardtop blue with white wheels. Fun first MINI. When I met my husband I traded it in for an 07 hardtop S so he could teach me how to drive a manual.

My 07. My third MINI I custom ordered from the dealership here in Pensacola. A 2011 cooper S R56 manual. All black with an aero kit. Pretty much my dream MINI. Still wish I had it.



Sold 5 years ago when I got pregnant. Oh the regret! Lol. But I am back now thanks to the Countryman. It's an automatic so I will have to mess around with the paddleshifters until I can't stand it anymore and go back to a manual. Sorry for the long intro post!
Happy to be here!
