New Member Introduction

Hello all,
Me and the wife have recently become MINI owners with the purchase of a Pepper White/black 2006 MCC. This will be the third week of ownership and we have already put over 1600 miles on it. I take my lunchbreaks from work out in the hills for a nice 35-40 mile top down therapy session

We had been wanting one since they came out but the wife wanted a conv. We had two children since then so we took the SUV route to haul everything around. Now the kids are 3 & 5 we no longer need the strollers and such...sooooo....MINI Time it was!!! Couldn't be happier with the choice.

Sorry to be so long winded.
We are in SoCal. I am 38, names Don, into old cars mostly but love the MINI, homebrew beers and meads on occassion, ride my motorcycle (cruiser) whenever possible...and more,

thanks for a great board to visit,

Don W.

Hey, don't let this get out about this cheap, fun, and effective form of therapy...it'll put those of us in the traditional therapy business in the poor house!

Welcome to NAM!
