I bought 2 in one week!

Last Saturday I made the trip to Chicago from Omaha to buy a BRG cooper for my daughter. Wound up getting $1300 off msrp for a new 06 BRG with auto, premium, and cold weather package.

I got it home and my wife went nuts and had to have one! She changed from wanting a new Suburban to a Mini!

I negotiated today on a Hyper Blue cooper for $1547 off. I made a deposit via CC and will fly in for $138 and drive it home Friday........

Not sure how I wound up as a two Mini family!

Apple has had great success with it's "switcher" campaign.

Now your wife shows that the same could work for Mini! Get them to switch from SUV's to Mini's.

That's awesome! Welcome to NAM.

When I bought mine it started a MINI trend around me. My best friend is going to order an R56 when he is done Grad school, his wife also wants one and has already picked out all of her options, and then his dad went off and bought one of the remaining 06's from the local dealer!

Now if I could only talk my Uncle into one and out of this huge SUV he's got his eyes on! *And he calls himself an environmentalist!*
