Hi, I'm Steve just a local MINI enthusiasts from Omaha, NE. I dont' currently have one but plan on getting a new Cooper S or Clubman S. I just can't decide between the two. Too many options to choose from. I became a big fan of MINI's after I saw the anime City Hunter when I was around 12 years old. The star Ryo Saeba drives a red Cooper with a white roof. The live action film starring Jackie Chan disappointed since it only showed the car parked and not being driven. I also am a huge fan of Honda powered classic MINI's. I look forward to getting feedback from this site so I can determine on what I shall purchase in the future. Thanks!

 

Welcome to the madness! Go for some test drives and thats all it will take to dive in on your first MINI.

 

Another welcome from Texas.
NAM is the best resource I've found for helping decide about anything MINI-related. Just getting through the configurator on the MINI website can be a vexing first obstacle, but it's so worth it.

 

Hi Steve...welcome to NAM!

You should give Zyamfier over at the C.O.R.N. group a holler. He'll be tickled to know there's another enthusiast in town!

Here's a link to their NAM forum:

Hope to see you out motoring in a MINI soon!

 

Thanks guys, great news by the way. Leased a new '08 MINI Cooper in Chili Red with white top, white stripes, and Rooster Red color line tonight. The payment was cheap so I figured after the lease is up I'll just come back for an "S." This is also the same color combo that City Hunter had. Sad to say it is an auto but the fiance will be driving it mostly. She has a hard time with sticks so I didn't want to push the issue. I also already plan to save a little on the side for a BMW 135i for this fall. Thanks for all the input guys. The car will be here next Monday.

 

Welcome - have fun motoring in that smile machine...
