Greetings from New Brunswick Canada

Hello all,

I finally purchased my first Mini on the 22nd of August after much research on this forum and test driving 3 different models. I ended up getting an 07MCS in dark silver and so far am loving it. I have a history of owning turbo charged cars and have always loved the look of the mini so its been a great fit so far.

After owning if for almost a month I am amazed at the gas milage of this little sucker, my other turbo cars (2002 WRX, 2007 Mazdaspeed 3, 2009 Forester XT) loved to chug down the supreme, but I have been getting 37 mpg quite consistently.

What an awesome little car

Thanks

Rob.

Great choice Happy Sheep. The MCS has the distinction of being a "legendary" car. It keeps company with some other motoring legends, which in their own right have shaped automotive history. Read more about this here: http://autos.yahoo.com/articles/auto...-be-surprised/

Motor on dude!

Thanks for the welcome,

As requested here are a couple pictures of the mini with the rest of the herd. The mini is still stock for now but i am planning on making it a bit more personalized soon.
