New Mini Owner

Hello All,

I just bought my first Mini a couple weeks ago and I have to say it's the most fun car I've owned. I've got a 2012 Mini Hardtop Baker Street Edition. I love the little stylistic difference the Baker Street has and I'm also a big fan of the Sherlock Holmes mysteries (the books and the movies). I've had 2 door cars before (Acura CL and Honda Accord Coupe) but my Mini is by far the best handling.

With only 250 miles on it I still have some breaking in to do, although I just today fixed it's first flat. I think my plug job was good, I'll see in the morning if the pressure held.

Here's a funny picture of my new Mini and my trade-in.

Welcome.
The Baker Street Edition is a very cool car!
We got into watching Sherlock on PBS Masterpiece Mystery this year.

Welcome. We are also fans of Sherlock Holmes. Really fun addition. So does you Mini have a name from the story?

I decided last night I would call my Mini "Wiggins", who is the leader of the Baker Street Irregulars.

I picked Wiggins because I live in the city and my Mini can get in and out of places that most vehicles can't.
