New To the Community/Introduction

Hi everyone. I have been stalking the forums now for awhile. Finally signed up back in November but havent gotten a chance to get back on. I thought i would introduce myself. My name is Adam and i recently purchased a brand new 2011 Mini Cooper S. Murdered out. The car is gorgeous and this is my first mini.....and now i will forever be a mini buyer. I have wanted one since 2005....WHY DID I WAIT SO LONG?!?!?!?!?!?!

Anyways i would post a picture but im currently at work and i have no idea how to do it. But its all black and i named him Watson

I guess ill give you the story on how i got the mini...i was floating around online looking to buy a new car. I finally decided to contact my local dealer (which wasnt very local, about 45 minutes away). I filled out the paper work for the credit application and two days later i got a phone call with the approval from the bank of BMW. I was excited! I had my eye on a white mini, with black stripes....then...a day before i was going to pick it up they got Watson in....a solid black Mini Cooper S with black rims....i was in love....i got the email friday night at 6pm saying they jsut got it in stock. I wanted one with black rims, but they didnt have any accept the JCW ones but i could afford that price range :(....then....WATSON saved the day!

I drove down at 8am and was the first customer, there before the doors opened! I ran in, found the sales man and was so excited i could barely talk! He had them pull the car around front and there it was....in all its glory....

I have had it for 7 months now, BEST CAR I HAVE EVER OWNED! I am obsessed with mini's and cant wait to start adding mods.....Euro Plate on the front, rally lights, tinted windows to start......so many options!

anyways sorry about the long post....<3 my mini and this forum has had my attention for awhile. I look forward to talking to more of you

Welcome to NAM! Post pics when you get the chance. I was in Philly before, but I know there are some great MINI roads near Scranton.

Watson sounds great and I'm sure you'll love it which you already indicated you did. Enjoy the site, lots of great info and help.

I have to say, the all black Mini's are absolutely gorgeous. You're very lucky on the timing of when Watson arrived at the dealership. I'll bet the past 7 months has been a BLAST! Enjoy and welcome to the forum.
