Just bought my first mini and picked it up in germany about two weeks ago Since then drove it to Paris,Milan,venice,ferry to athens then to the beautifull sunny greek island of Crete. Pepper white with black top and black rims,6spd. Will post pic soon. I hope to find alot of usefull info on this forum. I never thought i would buy a mini and probably never would have but i am now stationed in greece then italy hopefully and it seems like the perfect car to tour europe in for next 4 years and it gets great fuel econ. I now think they look better then ever. Before i go to bet at night i think about how fun the ride to work will be and wish it was just a little longer

You need to shut up!!! Making me jealous with you traveling to Paris, Milan, Venice and other places. Haha wait until you lay in bed at night and decided to go stare at the MINI for a few minutes, just to make sure it's alright.

Congrats on the purchase man, and happy motoring!

I would love a tour of Europe in a MINI Cooper S.
#1. Nurburgring, Germany (The Green Hell)
#2. Col de Turini, France (Monte Carlo Rally)
#3. Stelvio Pass, Italy (The Italian Job)

Also a little North,
Trollstigen, Norway
Lysebotn Road, Norway
And a little East,
Transfagarasan Pass, Romania
