New Mini Owner

Hello everyone! Believe it or not I traded in my C5 Vette for a 2010 Clubman S. Very glad I got the S as it is a great performer. I used to race corvettes and the only car I couldn't beat on a tight course was a Mini! So I thought I'd try one out. So far I continue to be amazed with this little bundle of fun. We will be taking it on a trip to Calif. next month and can't wait to see how it does. My Vette used to get around 30MPG so the increase in MPG and space is something I'm looking forward to.

Congrats! You'll love the MINI! My husband traded his '98 C5 for a '11 Z06 but still loves to drive my MINI.

Congrats!! Sold my 3 series convertible 2 years ago to buy my MCS convertible. Still grin when I drive the MINI. So agile, responsive, willing and fun! If the MINI were a dog it would be a Jack Russell! Enjoy your MINI.

Funny!

I sold a C5 vette and just got a Chili Red S myself. (this week!!!)

I felt guilty for loving this car so much! Glad to know there a more Vette converts out there!
