I am a Korean owner on 'MINI cooper S' in South Korea..
South Korea is new to MINI culture..
MINI begins to be sold in South Korea from this year..

My MINI's color is 'Dark Silver'..
It has the 'Black roof' and chrome line exterior..
My MINI's nickname is 'Jack-Jack'..

I met my MINI on August of this year..
I didn't imagine that it brings this pleasure to me..
I became to know an American MINI-lover in Seoul a few weeks ago..
He introduced this cool site to me..
I hope that I can have a group to go drive together with him somewhere, see the sites, get together to have fun, eat, not be in a hurry, and just have an enjoyable time with fellow Miniacs..
I greatly appreciate his kindness and send my appreciation to him here..

I am in Seoul, but I hope that I can enjoy group driving with you on this good site..

 

Welcome, enjoy the ride :smile:

 

Welcome to NAM! What is it like owning a MINI in Korea? Does it stand out among other cars? The MINI the smallest car on the road in the U.S. -- is that true in Korea too, or are there other cars as small as our MINI? Did you buy your car from a local dealership?

I hope you find some local motoring buddies soon!

 

If the MINI is new to south Korea then you are one of the few early owners.
It's always exciting to be unique.

Korea like Japan has many small cars that are common, not like in the US.

If you ever make it to Hawaii drop our Hawaii MINI club a message and we can go for a drive along the coast. I've done it before for a few lucky NAM members.

It's great to hear from you.

 

There are many small cars..
'Matiz' made by Daewoo, 'Click', 'Atoz' made by Hyundai, 'Morning' by made by KIA, etc......

But, MINI is most wonderful in all cars to my eyes..

I bought my MINI in Korean dealer shop..

Thank you for your greeting..

 

Welcome to NAM, uglyduck! I hope you will meet other MINIacs in Seoul in the coming months and form your own motoring club. Have fun with Jack-Jack!

;Yes, I am one of the few early owners.
When my MINI stops on the street for the traffic sign, many people watch my MINI. All visual focuses are gathered to me..
