new to the road

Greetings fellow mini drivers!

I'm new to this whole mini thing - a little terrified - but mostly excited to tool around town in my new girl.

Have already taken the car on one short road trip from LA to Palm Springs, wanted to just keep on driving!

I get mine from millan.net The gal that creates them has a personality similar to mine, and her smilies are just perfect for me.

Welcome to the NAM-land obsession from MAD-Town, WI. Spending time here is almost as much fun as motoring in your MINI.

Hi cooprgirl and welcome to the family, uh, or should I say NAMily!

Glad to see that you're enjoying your MINI!

BTW, don't forget to post some pics of your little girl!

Motor On!

Yeah, I think we're all familiar with that feeling. Congratulations and welcome!

Nothing to be terrified of!

You're well on your way: you 'can't fight the feeling' and you found NAM.

Relax. Enjoy. Happy Motoring!

Thanks everyone!

for the warm welcome!
posted a picture to the gallery, will add more later.

Is it just me, or is owning a MINI sort of like walking a dog or carrying a baby around? People stop to talk to me now about this car. I think it is the ultimate icebreaker...
