Long-time Mini admirer, first time Mini owner

I had been infatuated with Minis for years but due to work & family owning a Mini had not been practical proposition until recently.

I'm now the proud owner of a Spice Orange 2013 Mini Cooper Clubman and lovin' driving it! :D

I'm also looking for any recommendations on places to purchase accessories at reasonable prices. I've been cruising Amazon but there does not seem to be a lot of reviews on the Mini accessories that are available.

Yeah it is, and wish I could claim it was my garage :P

I don't know whom took those particular photos, as they were taken before I purchased the Mini, and were sent to me when I purchased it.

My Clubman happened to be the one used by Mini of Tucson when they were training their staff prior to opening, and were taken at Starr Pass Resort I believe while it was on display there.

Unfortunately I was never told who took the photos but I do have some of my own to upload once I find them on my PC
