Here I am. It's a long story how I got a 2009 BRG Mini Cooper S - manual, 108K miles...and in great condition.
I'll leave the story for later, but I may keep the car for a while.
It is fun to drive. I normally drive a 2006 Ford F350 crew cab, 8" bed, lifted on 35's, diesel. Needless to say, the Mini is a completely different driving experience. It reminds me of the 2007 Volkswagen Rabbit (2.5L manual) I drove a long time ago.
