Back in the Saddle Again!

So, I've been looking for a low mileage, one owner R52 with all 3 packages and a manual transmission for about a year and one finally popped up that I was pretty excited about. It's a 2008 with 25K on the clock with Premium, Sport and Cold packages as well as the Chrome Line Exterior. It was listed on MINI of Peabody's website and I checked it out this morning and purchased it. Really excited to be getting another MINI. This is my 4th as I've had an 2003 Cooper, 2006 Cooper S and a 2011 Cooper. I've been driving a 1991 Mazda Miata for the past 5 years and I used to telecommute but switched jobs and I need to drive (well, I can take the subway in a pinch but have to go all the way into Boston and back out). Anyway, leaving everything alone except for the wheels. Oh, and speaking of which, the car come with snow tires too! They haven't detailed it yet but it's going to look brand new when I pick it up on Tuesday.

Here it is after the test drive:
