Finally got one!

After admiring MINI's since the first time I saw one in 2002 I finally gave in and got one. It's a 2005 MCS BRG/BRG which I found on eBay - saved several thousand by buying out of state (used MINI's seem to be rediculously expensive here in the Seattle area ) - plus I had the joy of a 2400 mile road trip to bring her home .

Anyways, I've really enjoyed reading this forum and decided it was time I joined the fray. It's been amazing being a MINI owner already - the first day I had her back in Seattle every MINI I passed I got a wave from. I'm totally in love with this car! I've already started getting all sorts of little new accessories for her - every other day my wife calls me at work to say a package has arrived - which is inevitably a new toy for the MINI .

Hello to you all!
