New 2012 Mini Cooper S Owner (BRG)

Just purchased a new 2012 British Racing Green Mini S Hardtop (White roof and hood stripes). 4 miles on it at delivery. Must have driven it around the ship several times .

I had to drive it home from the dealer in the rain. Bummer. Sun is out now and already washed it for the first time.


I love small cars and the Mini with the turbo is a hoot. I previously owned a Honda Insight (the original 2000 model) for 11 years. I've done my Civic duty. Time to crank it up. (Full disclosure, I also have an NSX.)

And the requisite first picture:



By popular demand, here is the NSX:



Tom Pfarr, Washington D.C. area.

Congrats! sure the MINI is a tad more fun than the insight. I'll be taking delivery in the middle of winter(January) so will be a while till I can fully enjoy.

Grats!!! I have your older sibling by six model years. You have fine taste in body & roof color (I'm a bit biased). Please share some pics when you can.

Drive 'er in good health!

As much as I love a new Mini...any pics of the NSX? They've always been a guilty pleasure of mine.
