Hello from John in Wisconsin

Hello I'm John and new to this group.

I recently purchased my first Mini. It's a red Cooper.
And I have to say that I don't think I have ever had as much fun as I am with this car. It's great! I just wish I had picked up one sooner. ( I'll just have to make up for lost time. )

Hey John! Welcome to NAM! Where are in WI? I'm in the Appleton area, but I hear there is a MINI group in Madison and Milwaukee. Haven't hooked up with them yet, but hope to see some fellow MINIs at Road America in the coming months. I'll save your name on my Buddy List.

Welcome!

Yay another 'sconnie. Welcome from Madison!
Speaking of which i got a flyer on my windshield today:

"You have been recognized by a fellow MINI owner as someone who might be interested in learning about the Madison MINI Organization"

Pretty Cool.

Anyways, just because we're good at cheese (and beer) doesn't mean we don't know how to motor! Welcome to the family!

Thanks for the big welcome.
I'm currently living and working in Portage (just north of Madison) but may be moving to Madison soon.
I'll have to check into the Mini club there.

Thanks again.
