Hi everyone. I have been very interested in the Mini Cooper since their reintroduction. I have always taken a moderate interest in autos and the auto market and kept myself sharp on new cars, classics and whats on the way.

I have only been driving for 4 years, but have dreamed of the day when I would be able to buy a MINI.

Now what happens is this: my tuition is zilch thanks to scholarship and all I have to pay is room and board (awsome deal). So my parents offered to assist me in payments, of which I will have about 75% responsability for. that is, until i graduate and get a real job. I can deal with that. Living on campus has been fun, but hardly worth the money. Im never in my room. Either in the library, classes, or out with friends. So thats cool.

The only catch is this: my 2nd major being french(oh, the ridicule I face!

Good Luck,
Jim

I think everyone (esp myself) needs to be reminded of the blessings we have: familly, job, or whatever else may be of real importance in our lives (MINIs
