Getting my first mini soon.

Graduated highschool last year, just finished up one year of university, decided it wasn't for me so now I'm working full time with a good paying job. Found the mini I want, have 10,000 for the down payment, dad is cosigning for a loan for the rest. The car is a 2002 cooper S, blue with a white roof, white bonnet stripes and black fender flares I believe. Absolutely cannot wait to pick this car up. They look awesome and from what I've read on here, are a blast to drive too.

Which blue? Inquiring minds will grill you on this. Is this the car Gabe just sold (Motoringfile.com)? Oops. His is a Cooper not an S. Congratulations and have a great life.

True and very true!!!

You might make sure you find out about all the possible software upgrades your new MCS has had. There were a range of issues that were sorted out (I think?) on Cooper Ss via these upgrades.

Can a dealer read this info from the key?? I'm thinking they can.

It's the darker, almost electric blue color. Not sure on the name of the actual color though.

I'm picking up a new digital SLR camera soon as well so I'll make sure to take a bunch of pictures.

Ahh, I'm going to have crazy debt for a while but I need some toys with no school to keep my occupied haha.
