Wanted to say hello to all the fellow enthusiasts. I am new to the MINI world, I just picked up a 2015 Country Man S all 4. I am fifty two and been driving pick up trucks for the last twenty years or so, I thought my next vehicle was going to be an Explorer or some other BIG SUV, not sure how this got started for me, but I saw a couple of adds pop up on my Facebook feed, next thing you know I'm at the dealership putting money down on this car! I've got to say the experience has been exhilarating. I've been grinning from ear to ear for the last couple of weeks I've got a twelve and fifteen year old and they both are thrilled with it. My fifteen year old was supposed to be the recipient once she got her license, but I find my self becoming more and more possessive, LOL!
Anyway, thanks for letting me join, I look forward to asking tons of questions and hopefully meeting some of you in my travels

Welcome!

Born and raised on LI, sure don't miss the LIE or the rest of the crowds.

 

Welcome to the group. A lot of useful info and great people in here. I actually just got home from Hicksville. Enjoy!

 

Hi and welcome to NAM, maxpr1!
These cars will keep you young. With that said, if you are planning one for the yunguns, you better have another for yourself! You are addicted now and officially a Miniac. Withdrawals can kill you! Once you get into another kind of car, you start feeling old. Get back into a Mini and you are renewed again!
Show us some pics of your Mini! and let us know about your next one, which should be coming soon!
There is tons of info on this site to keep your Mini in tip top shape! You may even find yourself doing things like going to Mini events, joining Mini groups, and having the most fun you have had in years! Just north of you are mega miles of fun driving!

 

Welcome to the forum and MINI ownership.

When your daughter is ready for the Countryman, you may be ready for your next downsize, perhaps a first generation or a Roadster. Once you find the joy in driving a small car, there is no turning back.

Any pictures to share?
