New to Mini and the forums

Hello,
I have been lurking around since I bought my new to me 2016 F55. You guys (and gals) seem like a nice bunch, so I thought I would go ahead and join. I am a car person, I don't have a specific brand, I just know when I like a car and I will plan out my next acquisition! I also like a couple of trucks too . I bought my Mini a few weeks back and am very much enjoying it! I have wanted one since I saw the first ones come to the U.S. in the early 2000's. I look forward to the good, bad and ugly about them, and I am prepared, as I have owned Fiats and BMWs!

I did ceramic on my last 2 MINIs and it cost twice as much, but worth it in the summer as it is cooler

I am intrigued...what is this ceramic you speak of?!? The last car I had tint on was WAY too dark, I couldn't see out of the side windows at night.

Welcome to the forum and the MINI experience.

I bought my MINI for the way it drives. When I joined the forum, and looked at other brand’s forums, I realized MINI drivers are great people. Corvette people, never mind. While the way the MINI drives will always be on the top of the list, being associated with great people is a benefit as well.
