Hello! *waving*

I'm a 48 yr old first time Mini Owner who never expected to ever love any car ever again....But I do! Mine is a 2014 that I just bought that had 29k miles on it.
this is the only time in my history of owning cars that I purchased a vanity plate: NOT CUTE.
anyways, thanks for having a place for me to come and learn about this incredibly fun automobile!

Welcome to NAM.

You are now a member of an enlightened group of individuals that recognize the MINI is a great handling car. Yes, I to cringe when I hear that terrible 4 letter word. In fact I just created a thread that contained that word.

In the post box you will see a yellowish type square with a mountain in it (just right of the globe with a paperclip). Click that and you will have a pop-up to attach a picture from your hard drive.

People who think that MINIs are cute and that real men shouldn't drive one have never driven a MINI. I searched for a sports car that drove like a MINI until I finally said the heck with it and bought a MINI in November.

By the way, I prefer the term "Personalized Plates" over "Vanity Plates."

Welcome to NAM.

Thanks! I love this car, the way it responds... in fact, I was given a 2017 Challenger to drive while my Mini was in the shop... sure it looked cool, drove well, and performed decent.. but for me, I couldn't wait to get back on my Not Cute car☺

People that have never been in a Mini, lack the understanding of what they really are! Once you have driven one, you are a changed person!
Motor on!
