Hello! Hello! from the ATL

just wanted to send out a big "HELLO!" to the NAM group, for as early as this weekend, i will be the proud new mom of a 2006 MCS DS/JB, whom i've already named Gunner.

i have spent the last years lusting*, dream building and patiently waiting for the perfect mini for me. i bounced between all colors and settled on the #1 JB and a #2 a DS. (even enlisted my father as search lead, in which he found himself a MCS).

*we won't even go into the family trip to italy were i planned to steal every little vintage mini that i saw.

well, the other day after a seller posted an ad in my area for a brand new 2006, insanely low miles, need to sell, i jumped! it may not be everything that i wanted - and i wanted it all (packages) - but he's a damn fine mini and i'm estatic!

so hello all - glad to be joining the group!

Welcome to NAM! Sounds like you're quite excited about your new MINI. That is understandable. Enjoy! Post some pics when you get Gunner.
