Good Morning. We are going to test drive this afternoon to see if we like it . But then what else is a "Brit" going to drive. The R56 sounds like a really good car.
Then it is going to be an MCS, Laser Blue w Black roof, Cold Weather, Premium,DSC, 6 Speed Auto, and we are still arguing about leather.
Then just the long wait until "smudge" shows up.
Anyway here goes nothing

 

ok...one thing..
GET A STANDARD!!!
you wont regret it!
if you dont know how...learn..its really worth it..
ive been driving Automatics most my driving life..when i got my mini...it was a standard..but it is really worth it!!!!
i so much rather drive a standard over an auto!

 

Good luck, I'm sure you'll love it!

 

Still smiling? I hope you had a blast! Did you go to Otto's or Main Line?

 

HAHA....see IF you like it????? OMG.....no question. I tell people "if you don't want one don't drive one". Good idea on getting a stick. It is half the fun of a MINI. I'm in OH and she handles the winters just fine with snow tires and those heated seats. :-) Be sure to post when you get it.

 

how funn another new MINI owner
good luck on the test drive

 

Went to Otto's. Awesome. Need an auto for my wife's job

 

Looking forward to pics! Welcome to NAM

 

Auto? I thought the R56 MCS auto hasn't started to come into the states yet, am I wrong?

 

Welcome 2 Nam!

Thanks for all the comments. They have just started producing MCS Autos. Now finalizing options etc, but leather is out and leathterette is in which means more goodies.
