Hi all! I just purchased a 2013 Mini Hardtop S in Chili Red. I've had it for less than 24 hours and I already love it. I fell in love with cars in 2000 when I had a Neon R/T. Learned to autocross and eventually drove some courses. Graduated to a Cobalt SS turbo, which was totalled the other day. I've been wanting a Mini so now was the time!

 

Congrats on you new MINI and Welcome to NAM, I hope that have a blast with you new car.

Please post some pics as soon as you can we would like to see your new ride..

 

Here's a photo leaving the dealer, and one of me thawing out after.

 

1) Congrats on the mini!

2) Bummer about the totalled SS, mind sharing the story? Glad you're alright

3) I, too, found my mini after being involved in an accident. Accept my totalled vehicle was a motorcycle lolol

 

Don't mind at all! I was driving home from one of my grad classes and it was snowy and nasty out. Some guy in a truck who thought he was a great driver I'm the snow cut a girl off. She swerved to avoid him and sideswiped me, and we both ended up in the ditch. No one was injured, which is the most important part!

 

Glad no one got hurt, that's great looking Mini,an S too great enjoy.

 

get the hell outta here, that's EXACTLY how I got in my accident. Minus the snow...the dude who hit me had swerved to avoid someone else too! I went over the handlebars, into the jersey wall, blacked out, and woke up in an ambulance though. lololol! YOLO.

 

Congrats and welcome to the MINI world

 

Welcome to NAM and congrats on your new MINI. It looks fantastic and thanks for the pics right up front. Happy motoring and please don't forget to promote the MINI wave.

 

So this mini wave- anything special to it or just waving like a crazy person because I'm so excited about mini?

 

Run a tune on the Mini and autocross it!

you won't miss the Cobalt

 

I'm doing some bedtime reading of the owners manual- I don't know how I'm going to keep this all straight!
