First Mini all my own!
Hi All!
Got my own Mini (2013 Hardtop) in June- husband has a clubman so now we're a 2 family. Walked onto the lot and said, "I'll have that one!". I've never been into cars but love my Mini...just don't know anything about it! I do know it handled like a dream when I drove it off the lot and drove through a tornado on the way home. Yep, funnel cloud forming over me and caught the side action trying to get home!

Congrats on the new MINI - Got to love a 2 MINI family (see signature
)That was the way I bought mine...just walked onto the lot.
My wife loves hers because of how it handles and how easy it is to drive and I have taken that a couple of steps further...
But, what color, options, pictures, etc...details, we need details...

IDK details like engine size etc...I'm that dork that doesn't know a lot about her car...but it's chili red, cold weather package, automatic bc of traffic I sit in. Driving the stick in barely moving traffic wasn't my cup of tea!

Sounds nice...and an auto is great. Nothing worse than having to slip a clutch all day.
As for "dork"...nah. I know plenty of people who don't know squat about the engine and what not. This is more about what you love about your car and the things that make it personal.
You do, however, need to join CROC (chili red owners club) on NAM here. There is a great fan base for that color.
Also, here is a thread you might have fun with to get you up to speed about your MINI:
