Hello All, from a couple of Newb's in Georgia!

Monday a week ago, I bought my wife a new Daily Driver and we both love this thing. It's a 2004 S with 47K miles. I bought it from a friend of mine. It had been siting since Christmas (he bought his wife a new Mercedes) so he decided to sell it. We dont know alot about the car, but we have learned much in the last week. I do know this car is an absolute blast to drive.

She had been driving an 06 Harley Davidson F-150 daily and that dang thing seems to have a "drinking" problem. At 15 MPG and 600+ miles a week, we were going broke. We are keeping the truck, but it's not being driven daily anymore.

I am a performance parts manager at a Ford dealership and I lack the ability to leave well enough alone. We have two 2003 Mach 1 Mustangs (mine is actually in this months 5.0 Mustang and Super Fords magazine) and I have had a Saleen Supercharger for the F-150 since Christams. I can see me starting to mod the Cooper in the near future too.

I think we are going to like this site alot!!!!

Welcome to NAM!! I'm a transplanted Hoosier and live in central Ga. and lovin it. Congrats on the new ride. I have a old Corvette with a "drinking problem" also, and I think the Mini is way more fun to drive.

We know the Dragon well *. We make that trek and to the Cherohala Skyway often. We are going to try to make it up for the MOTD too.


*Matter-O-Fact, this is my avatar on another forum with my Daily Driver.

Congrats!
It sure is nice to hear a fellow with such a fine list of cars speak so highly of the Mini. Cool!
