Miniac in training

Hi everyone!
I'm a transplant from the VW/Audi community and am getting into Minis in earnest now, after having bought my '17 CM last Sept.
I own an '02 R53 with lots of miles, and a little rust. Gonna make it an Auto-x'er local to me in PA.
My daily is a '17 Countryman S, Island Blue. You'll see me motoring on I-78 and I-287 in NJ for my commute!
Hope to see you all out there on the roads!
-Jim

Welcome, I like that color of blue! Looks good! Love the idea of having a second Mini for fun time! Right now my R60 is both my daily and my fun time Mini! Loads of fun except when it’s out of commission, lol

I really do like the clubman and it was what I was going to get before looking for my CM. I dunno what the wife would say about a 4th car in driveway though...
Maybe the Clubby will be in order when I'm ready to trade the CM.

Yea, they're ok with 3 cars....but the 4th seems to be a deal breaker for mine
