Just got my first mini and could not be happier,

2010 Laurel Edition off the showroom floor at Mini of Alexandria

Hello all !

Coming from an S2000 which i had for 9 years and a WRX as well.

 

beautiful, welcome!!

 

Welcome to the obsession from MAD-Town, WI; that is a sweet-looking ride! I'm interested in your opinion of the MINI's handling compared to your previous rides?

 

Nice car! I've had mine for about 3 weeks and love it. did you change out the mirror covers for the Union Jack, or did the dealer do that prior to your purchase? Did you get to keep the black covers?

 

Handling in stock form is sharper than my S in stock form, i had full coil overs on my rex which was top heavy and on my s which was oversteer and bumpsteer heaven... the Cooper is a baaaaad *** ride, the combo of weight with short wheel base is amazing and brings a smile to my face just as much if not more than the others.

Yeah it came with the union jacks, i have the white mirror covers they gave me on accident from a jcw. i was going to get a jcw but 20 or so horses and brakes vs 1 out of 100 leaned me towards the limited... mods will make up the jcw.

 

nice looking MINI! i may have seen that at MOA when i was there.

i used to have a s2000 as well as a wrx too!!

 

Congrats on you new MINI. Nice looking MINI indeed.
