New MINI Owner

I just purchased my 1st MINI this week and...... WOW!

This has to be the most fun car I have ever bought.

2012 Base Model Cooper Hartop, Pepper White, Armrest (Yup, that was the BIG option..LOL), Tinted windows, chrome bezels... not much else yet really. Terrific value and bild quality for the price.

Joined this forum so that I can learn more about MINIs

Congratulations JK! I am waiting (ever impatiently) for my first new Mini "justa" to arrive, and I simply cannot wait to drive it! It's been nearly 20 years since I've owned a manual transmission car that I can really drive.... Yay! Have a ball with yours!!

The grill badge is actually a Stuttgart Badge. I know it doesn't really match but, I used to live there..... I also have a really Cool one very similar ADAC Badge (German AAA)
