Finally picked up a Mini

I've been wanting a Mini Cooper for years. My previous car was finally on it's last legs and it wasn't worth fixing, so I picked up a Mini R61. I've had it for about 5 days now and I absolutely love this car. I knew karting around in a Mini would be fun, but wow that's an understatement. Below is the picture I took after I pulled off the lot.



It has a scratch on the passenger mirror and a small paint chip on the front of the hood. Nothing to be worried about as I am going to take care of both items very soon.

Welcome to NAM.

That's a little bigger than mine but those things really do handle well.

Thank You ECSTuning. After having it for about 3 weeks now I can say this is the car I have been wanting. I wish I would have gotten one sooner. Any suggestions on mods for the car?

Congrats on the Paceman. One of our mechanics use to drive one daily and we have modded several so they can be pretty fun even though you don't see many.
