Noob here...MINI-fan

hi everyone...I am writing from Boston, where there are lots of Mini's and I am trying to help my friend buy one. I can't wait to finally test the new 2nd generation.

anyway, i figured i'd sign up for this forum. i also wanted to make you all aware, in case you don't know, of a contest at cars.com. they are doing a car face-off, and today the Mini Cooper is up against the Ford Crown Victoria. It would have been up against the Camry, but Crown Vic fans came out and reloaded and voted over and over again for the Ford, and the Camry lost. They have since changed the voting so that it's only one vote per person, as it should have been in the first place. The Mini still needs help though, and all of you should go vote for it.

I'm sure I'll be posting here a lot more in the future. Thanks for reading!

Here is the link.
