new, old boy on the block

Hi you all, my name is Derek, originally from Dublin Ireland. Had a "64 Mini classic there when I was a teenager, loved it. Moved to Florida USA in '69. I am retired now at 63 and getting a real big itch that I cannot scratch for another Mini. I will go for the '07 because I love the fantastic engineering specs on the new engine also the gas milage. I I have decided on one of two colors MELLOW YELLOW or CHILI RED, I will wait till March to place my order that way I can get the HD digital radio in the package. My local stations are now transmitting dual signals for this , so it is a thing of the future and the service is free. Nice talking to you all. DEREK.

welcome Derek! Stop by often -- there is a huge amount of info here -- some is even useful!
Good luck with choosing your MINi. All the colors/options seem great so in my opinion in the end you can not loose.
Jim
