@r53coop

Thank you! I'm so glad to be here as I'm sure I'll have questions and I've learned a bunch just from reading posts.

I've always wanted a MINI, there are so many things I love about them. There are a few reasons why I chose the MINI for my new daily. I tend to like cars that are a little different from the norm, I like smaller sized cars and manual is a must, which is getting harder to find, at least in cars that I'd be interested in. Also the ability to customize and of course, they are so fun to drive! Believe it or not, I wanted my next car to have more a little more interior space I try to keep my cars for as long as possible and now is the time to replace my current ride. I had a BMW Z3 from 1997-2008 and then a Z4 from 08 till now.

Can't wait to get this car and my 2 dogs are looking forward to each having their own seat
