new to Mini
Hi. I just purchased a 2011 MINI Cooper S hard top w/ the sports and cold weather package a week and a half ago. Gotta say it's the most fun car I've ever driven. Half tank gone @ 26 mpg...just greatness! Also, I now see so many of these cars on the road. I don't know if it's just the new car puppy love thing, but it makes me smile every time I see one. Now, on to finding a club of some sort!

Welcome, peyek1. I think we all get that smile when we see one.

Welcome to NAM and congrats on the new MINI. Just an FYI, when referring to the current MINI Coopers (by BMW) MINI is all caps. Mini refers to the classics.
You should update your user profile and include your location. This way when you ask a question or are looking for events, people can give you more specific answers.

Congrats, you will be even more pleased when that mileage creeps up a few MPG too.

Yeah, I had seen the MINI5280 website, but it is not very smartphone friendly. I'll have to give it a look when I get to a computer.

LOL, thanks! What would we creatively challenged people do without Craig? He made me a few to choose from so I'm going to have a new one every week!
