New to the MINI family
Hello!
I am new to the MINI family with a 2005 Copper S. The story goes like this- I needed a little fun and economical car to go along with my gas guzzling SUV (have two kiddos and a wife that doesn't pack light, so the SUV is staying!)
A good friend has a Cooper S and it completely shatters the image of "econo", which pleases me greatly! I thought how hard could it be to find a first gen MINI with all the specs that I want? Well, after three to four months of searching high and low, coast to coast, border to border I finally found my ride! British Racing Green w/ white top and mirrors, 6spd (of course) and black/tan soft leather interior. It has every option other than cruise control
I have a MFSW on the way and will be doing the retrofit next week, so it will be complete!
Pictures will be posted later after she gets a full detail and polish.

Welcome to some great fun!
Welcome to the world of mini ownership. I've wanted a mini for several years but had to get the Corvette "bug" out of my bonnet. After my second Vette ownership of 7 years the time came a couple of months ago to sell it. Within a week I owned my chili red mcs and I REALLY enjoy it. Enjoy this fun little car, you will not be sorry you bought it!!
