New Mini Cooper S for the wife....

Last month we picked up a new mini cooper s, 2012, automatic with a few extras. Chrome package, black hid head lights, and I'm sure a few other things.

We went in to buy the 4 door. This one was in the show room, last 2012 they had, demo model, made us a great deal on it. We actual test drove the 4 door in auto and manual, and the mini cooper in auto and manual.

I am a mustang guy, first and foremost. I have a 2012 Mustang GT california special with a few typical bolt ons. I will say that I really enjoy driving the mini and love the handling and fun factor this car delivers. There is just something about it that just makes you grin.

Anyways, want to say hi and I'll be doing my research on here for a few small performance mods for the mini. As well as look out for issues and how to articles and other things mini owners do.

Have a good one,

Josh

Hi Josh! Welcome to MINI ownership, and welcome to the NAM forums. This is a great resource and will be a lot of help to you, and give you a lot of ideas.

And the Mustang is pretty darn nice as well. Cheers!

Chris

Padump-bump!

Isn't there a joke about that? US President (of your choice) steps off of Airforce 1 with a dog on a leash, and is greeted by a color guard. "How do you like my dog? I got him for my wife?"

The color guard replies, "Excellent trade, Sir".
