grats... that's one hullofa first car... be carefull with that thing. These cars handle so well it installs confidence in you that your driving skills may not be able to back up. Convince your rents to buy you performance driving lessons as a xmass present next year. besides making you a better driver it gives you a place to drive your mini fast safley...

Cool, cool. I'm guessing it came with the rims and tint then?

Auto or manual? Got any interior pics to share?

Donna also happened to have a big birthday yesterday, so you just picked a bad time to poke fun. Luckily, she is also a good sport! No worries! Sorry to hijack the thread.

Welcome you lucky person. I wonder if the person who gave it to you may want to adopt a 43 year old? My next birthday is coming up soon.

Welcome to NAM!

We all love Mini's including yours! It is a beautiful machine! I have an automatic with paddles too. You will enjoy having it both ways. Just be careful out there, cause that Mini you got will scat and a ticket or two can cause the price to go up.

Enjoy!
