Hi all. My wife and I just acquired a used 2005 S Convertible. It was, ahem, a somewhat spur of the moment purchase, but we're looking forward to having a lot of fun with it. It's going to be my wife's commuter (in nice weather) and a get around car. My folks also have a Mini (2006 S) as do some of my other relatives. Looking forward to learning more about them and keeping it well!

 

Cool. Mines a 2nd gen but I'm sure (your wife) love her 1st gen.
Either way, they are fun, quick, and very cool cars.

 

As others have said, we need to see pics or we don't believe you.

 

Ha! We got it yesterday and snowed this morning. Just inside the garage photos at this time. It does make the garage look bigger!

 

Love the interior! Very nice.

 

Wow this thing gets lousy mileage! 23 on the first tank. OK, now that I have THAT out of my system, we'll shoot for 30!

 

Hello from a fellow Reno MINI driver (well sorta) more like 15 miniutes outside of Reno MINI driver. Good luck with your new family member. It's good to finally hear of someone in my area joining the community.

 

You are blessed with some great roads outside of Reno, take advantage of them! Alpine county, wow!

 

Welcome to the Club ! I'm located in Gardnerville ( 1 hour south of Reno )

Enjoy the Mini !
