hello from fresno. after owning 4 vw's, i defected to a mini. so far, i am very happy with my choice. i do hope to have many trouble free miles like i did in my peoples car. peace

 

Welcome!

I, myself, came from owning VW (and Audi) exclusively for over 20 years. I think you're in for a great owner-experience with MINI.

 

Post a pic! We like pics.

 

Welcome aboard! So, exactly which MINI helped you join the Enlightened Side?

Happy Motoring!

 

Welcome to the forum, more details please.

 

as for enlightenment, you can blame my mini driving younger sister. she knew was i was on the fence about getting something other than a vw for once. she said that i would not regret taking the "mini plunge". she's right, so far. i will say that the key is over-engineered, but i'll figure it out sooner or later.

as for the car itself, it is the british racing green base model. i will upload pics as soon as i get the chance.

thank you all for the warm welcome. peace

 

Welcome! I'm also a former VeeDub owner. Over the years, I've had a '95 GTI and a '02 GTI, both with VR6s. I enjoyed both GTIs, but I'm enjoying my MINI even more! I think you'll be pleased with the change.

 

Congrats & Welcome! +1 for pics...

 

Also making the jump from VW...
Over the years: ’81 Audi 4000 5+5; ’84 Audi Coupe GT; ’02 VW GTI; ’03 20th Anniversary GTI; and finally, an ’04 VW R32 that I traded to get the MINI.
No pics yet for me as the car is still being built.

 

welcome
