Hello from Ohio

Hi everyone, I'm new here and just wanted to introduce myself. Been looking at this forum for quite awhile and finally decided to join. I've been a lifelong fan of MINI and have wanted one since they relaunched here in the US. I finally was able to realize that dream earlier this year and purchase a 2018 Cooper S Hardtop (pictured below). I am looking forward to connecting with other MINI owners and hopefully learning a lot as well!

Looking forward to being a member here.

Regards,
Jon

Oh cool! Yeah I used to go quite a lot when I was in college and worked nights, since it's located like 10 seconds from UC. I haven't been since starting my current position as I work Saturdays. It's definitely a cool place though, I will have to try and make it back at some point.

Welcome to NAM.

If you ever have a chance, head down to the Appalachians, will soon learn just what a MINI was made for.

A little late, but congrats on the Se7en. I walked into the dealer, expecting to buy a CPO white Hardtop, and walked out with a brand new 2017 Se7en Edition in British Racing Green. It's a great package, unique without screaming.

I even found a brochure on Ebay for the 1959 Austin Seven!

And good luck on your CAReer; it's good that you are selling a product that you believe in.

Thanks very much! I agree, I was super excited to get one. I was not really aware of the Se7en until starting there, but all the little retro details, the color combo, and the wheels, sealed the deal for me. Same as you, I was expecting to do something completely different. Once I got settled, I was planning on submitting a custom order, but when I saw and drove the Se7en, I kept thinking about it and finally just decided I was going to stop talking myself out of what I really wanted haha.

Congrats on yours as well! I actually encountered a BRG Se7en on the highway a couple of weeks back, did a double take at first, but its cool to know so many other people liked the package. That's very cool you found an original brochure too!

Another Cincy native but I’m only here for the Summer months. The Winter is spent in Florida where the 2010 r57 is kept.
