New Mini - New Beetle

Hello everyone!

I took delivery for a 2006 Purple Haze Cooper, I love it! I do 150 mile per day commute to Detroit and back. My Mini will be sleeping with his girlfriend (2001 silver New Beetle) in the garage at night. I cannot say enough about the NewBeetle.org website. I saved thousands of dollars in repairs with the help my fellow NB owners had to offer. I am looking forward to meeting my fellow Mini owners and enjoying a like experience.

MINIT's commute

I live east of jackson and work d-town detroit. It's 75 miles each way straight down I-94. The Beetle is getting up there on miles so I decided to get my Mini. With those 2 cars I CAN PARK ANYWHERE!
SEE YA!

My #2 car is a 2000 TDI NB. The website you have listed above is very good, I also like TDIclub.com. The TDI has 134000 miles now and drips oil like a Harley Davidson, but still gets 45-50 MPG. The NB is my daily commuter.

Welcome. Yikes!! 150 mile a day commute x 5= 750 miles a week!! Close to 3 hrs a day commuting. You must love your job. The MINI will make the journey fun. Next time it takes me more than 12 minutes to get to work, I won't **** and moan about my 4 mile commute.
