Greeetings from the Palmetto state

I was looking for some pictures of different colors and options when I happened upon this site.

A little background info.....

My wife has had a Mini for 3 years ('03 MCS) and has been a Mini fanatic ever since she first got it. We just bought a Chili red '06 Mini S Convertible. She got the new one and I got the old one. Now, I'm a Mini fanatic. I have never enjoyed a car like I enjoy this Mini (and I've owned a M3, 545, Mroadster, X5, 911, etc). By far the most fun to drive.
We love our Minis so much, I just ordered a '06 Astro Black (with Silver top and mirrors) JCW, aero kit, multi spoke JCW rims, etc. I was going to buy a GP but I need a sunroof :/ Anyway, glad I found this place. Hope to learn somethings and contribute something myself.

Suzanne, wow you're from Barnhell...err. Barnwell!
I have a friend who lives there. I was there earlier this year to attend her brothers wedding.
I'm up in the Rock Thrill area.

My wife and I moved up here about a year ago from G'town. We have family in G'town, Charleston, Columbia, and Clemson too.

Have you been along SC Scenic Hwy 11? Runs from about exit 2 on I-85 (Lake Hartwell) to Gaffney,SC. Nice drive for scenery, and the state parks... can't wait to go motoring there again in the mini!

Yes, not many fellow Mini motorists is this neck of the woods but I think that helps us get so many nice comments about the car. Enjoy that Mini!

I haven't, but when my new Mini comes in I will go. Thanks for the heads up.
