Congratulations, and Welcome to NAM! What a break, to have just the one you wanted in stock!! Now as for the name. First you must either pick a gender neutral name, or find out what gender your MINI is. Don't look under the back bumper, you won't find the answer there! You will get a "feel" for which your is, after driving for a while. One name I recently thought of and have not seen before is "Copa" Like policeman with an "a", or, more accurately, what you did; "cop a Cooper" as in "score" one or "buy" one! Its kind of linguistically slang, but it fits! Just a suggestion. Enjoy the experience!

 

Well as a 22 yr old, this car does the trick. Let me tell you. I can't stop smiling. My face hurts right now, because I keep grinning at my car. I can't even stop looking at it. I made a tremendous good choice. I'm excited!

Now I should tell you guys a story. I took my parents with me for the test drive. My mom and dad were skeptical about the car. Reason because they have seen the car in the street and the think is to small, will have no power, and the car ride would suck.Oh man...were they wrong and how quickly they change their mind. I let my dad drive it first...you should of seen his grin. Once he gripped the steering wheel and heard the engine gave it's mighty roar he was just sold. Of course he drove it, and let me tell you, he drove it like it was in nascar...cutting turns,accelarating to catch up to cars. revving the engine on stop lights. It was just insane! Though you could see the excitment in his eye. Now my mom was the most skeptical. Funny thing she likes to play with the buttons. So when she press the sport button and accelerated you could see her jolt back. Now she went crazy with the car as well. To this day, both of my parent want a mini. Sooo there a chance will might add another Mini to the family!

Damnit this is a cult and addiction. My car is nice and clean...I see that is clean, but back in my head it's telling me it's dirty. So im detailing it tomorow. gaaaah This is bad...but im enjoying every minute of it!
I thank you guys very much for helping me, actually I should say, for brainwashing me in buying this car. Because I'm in love. I think I found true love. Girls are icky! My mini will treat me good!
Oh and My mini is a she. This week I'll think of a good name for her. heh

 

Clo, we're ALL pushovers for the right car (or person)!

 

Now I have my car for almost a full week and let me tell you! I'm loving this car! The power that this baby has is incredible! Now, I just came back from tinted my windows and let me tell you she looks hot! (My little mini is a girl now) Soo I'm on my way to getting her pretty as she can be and show her to the world!
Picture will be up soon! Now time to go to work!

Fair warning; OCD is contageous.

 

Picture coming soon!
But a question has come to a boil! So today I was going to a Graduation Party and its all the way in Palmdale California. Basically it's an hour away from my home. So what better way to show off my new car at the party. So as I was driving to Palmdale, there a lot of twisties and hills on the way. It was perfect challenge for my mini. To give you a hint the highways going to palmdale is mainly desert and like a few curves here and there and a lot of steep hills. So I decided to test my mini and see how it handles. Let me tell you...It handles AMAZING! WOW This little car can move. THOUGH....When i was speeding..(sorry I had too) I was hitting, i believe (way too fast-edited), and I hear this Beeping sound..I panicked so I slow down the car to a normal speed...So my question to you guys? whats that beeping sound..has it occur to you guys? It basically happen when I pass (way too fast-edited) or so...
I'm still reading the owner manual little by little but i'm just curious what it is...any thoughts?
Though...all and all...My mini...(I'm thinking calling her Bella) performed excellent in the road today, did not waste gas AT ALL! and performed well on the twisties AND was a hit at the party! Soo today was a Good day!\
Me...Happy! yey

The beeping was- "you're going too fast" and is installed only in your MINI.
"We are watching you"!

 

Maybe he was using kph, not mph?

 

Goyo,
your new car is pretty and fast! Thanks for the cool pictures.

Hi! Got to be the Grandpa here, and maybe answer the question about the beeping. Please, get used to the car and the way it handles before pushing the limit with speed. I'd hate to read a post by your surviving family about a car crash! Also, you might want to think about the "break-in" period advised by the owner's manual. The car will give many years of good service, and starting more slowly on the high revs and speeds will only help. Maybe the beeping was that you opened a door with the fast cornering?:impatient Well, sorry to be a party pooper, but that's what Grandpas do! Wishing you only the best.... david

 

True!

So 100-110 kph is about in the 60-65 mph (62-68) range.

That would be OK.

 

Hahah...Trust me..I was scared when I was going a little bit fast. I won't do that again. It was to fast for me! Though I did found out the reason...I think it's the aircondition...because the vents are open outside and I did not have it in recycle mode. If I had it in recycle mode then the sound would stop. Though, that be the last time i'll go fast...maybe 70-75 but i'm good!
Though trust me...I don't want my mini to break down...though I got home from Palmdale and I started cleaning the car. Oh man...it's true what they say...you buy a mini you get Ocd. That car has not been dirty evern since I got it from the dealer!
