Wife just bought a 2006 MCS!

My wife just bought her first new car and decided on a 2006 MCS in royal grey metallic with a silver roof and silver bonnet stripes. It's got the premium package, cold weather package, ipod connector, rear bumper guard, arm rest and fog lights. We drove a used one we saw from the internet and then decided to take a test drive of a new one. After driving the regular MC we jumped into an MCS with one of the sales guys. My wife was going 100mph down the highway with the sales guy in the back seat! Needless to say after driving the MCS she was hooked. We debated at lunch for quite a long time as it's a big purchase for us but in the end we decided to do it! We have only had it since yesterday evening but already we both get excited every time we see a curve in the road coming up. This thing sticks like glue! Overall we were very nervous about this purchase but I truly believe this was the car my wife will love driving for many years to come. We both look forward to many fun times driving the MCS down the winding roads of Ohio and beyond!

Congratulations!

Your MINI looks sweet! I have never seen the RG but it looks very nice with the Silver top and stripe. Have fun, I know you will.

Welcome to NAM! It sounds like you two are going to have a blast! I just hope fighting over the keys is not detrimental to your marriage.

Don't worry, that problem can be solved with a second MINI. . .it worked for our marriage!

I love to hear stories like yours. It makes me even more anxious for my own MCS to arrive. Happy motoring .

yes it's an addiction~owning these minis. Curvy roads are a blast but the real fun begins onthe freeway when other 'larger' cars and spendy SUVs get the surprise of their life when you downshift and leave them in the rear view mirror....

Congrats & welcome to NAM. There are lots of great roads in Ohio to exercise your new MINI on. That's a very nice looking car. If I see ya I'll wave. I'm in the Hyper Blue/ White one.
