new & near Philly!!

I got my '04 Metallic Gold Mini Cooper in September.

I honestly feel like this is my first real car. My actual first car was bought in high school and I drove her around for 6+ years. She was reliable, but I just thought that I hated driving. Well 3 months with Cooper and I'm realizing how much fun it can be!

So, hi everyone & happy driving!

Welcome! I always hated driving too, but not in my MINI!

Ps. I hear those crazy PhillyMINI people have lots of fun with rubber ducks.

Sweet, I have driven many fun cars (such as my husbands BMW 135i when he lets me), but my Mini will be my first "real car" as well. I test drove one a month ago and had a blast, whats not to love about the way a Mini drives??

Someone will have to fill me in on the rubber ducks, but sounds like my kind of fun people.

I'd love to come out with the Philly peeps sometime. My bf is a car nut, so he's brought me to meets and events, but it was never my car that we brought. Would love to have my turn!

Agreed. I just joined the club at the end of the motoring season. From what I've heard, and the few I've talked to they're a blast. Heading out on the 16th of this month for my first get together with the gang and can't wait. They're so welcoming to new comers.
