New to the game, but i've got help....

Hi all!

I am a brand new Mini owner married to a Mini veteran. Unfotunately, my wife had to sell her's a few years ago. When we met and started dating, she couldn't stop talking about her old car and her house was filled with Mini posters and models. So, you can see how, after a while, i just had to have one. After careful consideration of our budget, we decided to go used instead of new, and on Monday we adopted a 2008 Chilli Red Cooper Hardtop and I've had a hard time getting out of it since.

Out of all the cars I have owned I have never had such an amazing, reliable and awesome car like this one. And, never have I seen such a diverse and devoted community.

I've attached a pic of our Mini (dubbed Pepper). I hope you like it and I'm really excited to be a part of this great community!

-Thomas

That is one nice MINI! I love the strip on the side... something that I might copy/change a bit on mine.

Welcome to the club!

Welcome! Those side stripes look really sharp.

Also, Chili Red is the fastest color.

Welcome to the MINI Obsession from MAD-Town, WI. Yup, Chili Red is fast, but BRG hauls *** too! Don't forget to wave!

Welcome. I am a new MINI owner myself and am completely, hopelessly and utterly hooked.

They are wonderful cars.
