Finally made it here<<Thanks Lisa!

Hello ALL:

Thanks to Lisa in N. Nevada, I finally was able to get to the forum

Just purchased a 2003 Pepper White/Black Cooper (23,000 mi and like new...no MARKS AT ALL! and am really loving it! (I have had Porsches and BMW's as well...the Cooper definately is more fun!!! (It will have it's own Garage bay at my house...currently sharing the double garage with the Uglymobile Honda Element (also a great Vehicle!)

I am still reading the manual since there are so many goodies to locate! This is definately different than anything I have ever owned!

Looking forward to meeting you all at the next Rally

Thanks, but I did buy it used!! Checking it out, it had one owner (a lease) and was bought new in Tenn...it finally made it's way to a lot in Reno where the dealer (who deals primarily in trucks and corvettes), got stuck with it and had no idea what it was all about. Still surprised it survived until I located it! Computer showed no problems and it is showroom clean! Still has some time on the factory warranty too!

The others in town were basically rats! Figured why not let the first guy take the deprec hit!

Regards
Jeff

It is a 2003, 23000 mi, and simply perfect...I think if I were buying a new one, I would still go for the pepper white, although all the colors are neat!!!
