Been searching all over for about 2 months looking for a fun hot hatch to replace my aging lil work truck. Drove anything I could get my hands on to see what I liked and didn't. Everything from a Focus ST, mazdaspeed 3 and a few subies(brz included) and damn near gave up hope. Didn't find the fun factor within the budget. Woke up one morning to "The Italian Job" playing on TV. Curiosity got the best of me and I checked car soup. Located this and had to have it. 2007 with 60k on the clock.

 

Welcome and congratulations. Consider yourself one of the lucky ones in that you discovered the Mini. So many people go thru life and never realize what they've missed. You're in for a lot of smiling.
