New Guy From Virginia

Hey...just thought I'd pop in and say hello from Virginia. Just bought a 2002 S model from Crown Mini in Richmond this past week. I haven't gotten it home yet, but will be picking it up on Tuesday/Wednesday of this coming week. They're replacing a chrome hood scoop for me and taking care of some other requests that I had for it...the service there was great, they let me take the car home for 24 hours to see if it was what I ultimately wanted...and I was sold after the first hour. I kept it for the other 23 of course I'm really looking forward to finally picking it up and bringing it home for good. It's a great car, and is in awesome conditon (38k miles, and just about every option Mini offered for it)...anyways, just thought I'd say hello, and I'm looking forward to learning more about my Mini as time goes on...this looks like a great site, I'm glad I found it.

Later...

Welcome, fellow VA denizen. Congrats on the MINI. Be sure to check the local DC Metro MINIs forum on this board as well.

Hello,

I bought mine from Crown in September. They had a silver demo when I bought mine - did you get that one? Where in Va are you?

Thanks guys for the welcomes...haven't been on the board for a while, been out of town for the Xmas break....but no, I didn't buy the demo...it was just a used model....as for the hood scoop, that was taken by Kelly at Crown to use on her convertible:smile:
