First Car a MINI

Hello everyone I just got my first car and it is a 2005 CR R52 Convertable with the 6 - speed. I am loving driving it so far. Got is for 7000 in perfect condition with no noticeable blemishes, with 65,000 miles. Honestly I prefer the engine in my model rather than the newer turbos. I enjoy the supercharger better.

Welcome to NAM, I think you will find this forum to be a great resource filled with friendly knowledgeable people.

You picked a great first car! I too prefer the supercharged car to the newer turbo cars.
