First MINI!

My quick story:

I'm a small guy (5'3"). I like small cars. When my '99 Dodge Neon's passenger mirror got whacked off, I knew it was a sign I needed something respectable. Something just as compact. Right then I decided I really wanted to get a MINI; it just always made sense. After a couple months of searching for that illusive perfect MINI at the price I wanted, I found one in Cheyenne. A beautiful, all-space-blue '06 Cooper S, and I knew it was the one. From the responsive handling to the distinctive roar of the engine (not even in sport mode!), it's exactly what I was looking for. It's only been four days, but I'm already coming up with excuses to drive places, and I'm always looking forward to when I can drive my MINI next. So here I am.
A quick question to anyone in the Boulder (CO) area, where's a good place to get your MINI serviced and worked on?

Justin

I live in Estes Park, and take my 02 R53 to a local guy. I know Peak Eurosport is not too far from Boulder, around I-70 and Kipling. At least it would give you another reason to drive!
I haven't taken my MINI there yet, but in the near future I'm gonna take her in for a good once over. I am still finding excuses to drive my MINI all the time!
Make sure you join MINI5280!
Congrats!
I'm sure I'll see ya around!
