My 1st MINI
Greetings Everyone!

I bought my first MINI two weeks ago and haven't stopped smiling since. What a fun ride! He's a 2006 MC S and we've named him GOBNU. Why GOBNU? Well...GOBNU = "Growing Older But Not Up".

Anyhoo, looking forward to learning all that I can about this wonderfully fun little car!

FINS UP!

Welcome to NAM and congrats on the car. Hyper-Blue is a great color (IMHO).

THANX oldsbear! I have been having nothing BUT phun since I picked him up! The only thing that bothers me is that I have always had a vehicle that carried a full spare. So, not having a spare at all leaves me a little uncertain but, didn't let it stop me from bringing him home!GOBNU2

I love the Growing older but not up! You fit the Mini Cooper image perfectly!! Some of us may be showing visable signs of age...but not in the way we have fun driving this amazing little car. Even driving down my long driveway, I'm happy!

Welcome and congrats!

There's also the OCD bug (look in the detailing forum if you dare!)
