New MINI owner saying HI!

Not a new MINI, but new to me. 2007 MINI Cooper S in Laser Blue, 6 speed, Premium, Sport and Cold Weather packages, 25K miles, JCW air box

I drove a brand new 1966 MINI for 4 weeks around Ireland in 1966 and said then I would own one someday, That was RHD but I learned to shift with my left hand pretty quickly. By time I was ready to purchase one in the mid 70's they almost impossible to find in the States. I got into hot rods and Corvettes and kind of forgot about these little cars.

Now that I am retired I was looking for something that gets great gas mileage yet still satisfies my desire for a fast and sporty car and the name MINI came to mind.

Welcome! Make sure you post some pictures of your MINI.

One day do you think you will ever get a classic Mini again?
