New Owner as of friday

Howdy! Just picked up my 07 MCS cabrio on friday. WOW! Whenever I've bought cars before I've had funny requirements like reliable transportation, reasonably confortable and reasonable economical. This is the first time cute and fun were on the list. I have not been disappointed. It was 65 and sunny today in Austin so a great day to have the top down. You know something is going on when my wife says we need kitty litter and I jump up and say, sure I'll go run and get some.

Ordered floor mats and doggie goggles today so they can sit in the rear. Thinking about a set of wet okoles for the rear as well to protect the seats.

Wow! MINIs are multiplying in Austin!! Welcome to the non-existent Austin, TX MINI Cooper Society .


Give me a wave if you see me! What part of town are you in?


What color did you get?


By the way, your right, the weather really was nice all day here! I was outside cleaning cars all day, so I certainly cannot complain.

Pepper White with a Green rag. I'm in NW austin (Balcones Village). When I
took my doggies for a walk earlier, I passed by a couple guys washing a MINI in the driveway. That couldn't have been you, could it?

PW/G MCSC very unique combo it was zero degrees when I topped off the tank this morning. Too cold for top-down

Welcome and congrats! Please post pics. I'd like to see that combo

Wasn't me. I actually wasn't washing my MINI today. I do mobile auto detailing in Austin, which is why I was outside all day . However, I am outside cleaning my MINI quite frequently as well .


I live in West Austin, Tarrytown area. Right off of MOPAC at Windsor Road.


I am in a all black MINI Cooper S, so wave if you see me .

Brrr!! Yep, zero degrees is a bit nippy, even with the heated seats. Haven't taken any pictures yet, will try to take some soon, maybe tomorrow.
