New Countryman S Owner

Hello everyone!


My wife and I just brought home our first Mini, a 2014 Blazing Red with Black top Countryman S. We Love it!


It will be my daily driver as we also have a Nissan 370Z and my wife's 2012 Honda CR-V. I have a feeling the Mini will eventually migrate to the wife.


The day the Z goes, I'll be buying an S Hardtop. We just needed something a little bigger at this stage of life.


Looking forward to participating in the community. I'm amazed at the enthusiasm; it's easily on par with the Z crowd.


Have a great weekend everyone.

Hi!

My 2014 CMS is at the docks and I'll be picking her up this week (counting the hours!). We're saying goodbye to our 2011 Volvo XC90 when we pick up the CMS.

I have a 2011 Hardtop that will be going to my husband. Although, I don't think I will ever give up first dibs to zooming around with her.

Glad you're here! Have a good weekend!

Welcome to NAM, gurneyeagle and congrats on your new MINI. A 2014 Countryman S in red with a black top sounds amazing. Where are the pics?

Hey there gurney, welcome to the forum!

If you're driving near the Woodlands, don't forget to wave (but don't expect one back, as most around here are somewhat oblivious of the wave...not me or the missus though!).

Congratulations,

Mike

Hi Mini_42. So you are an Ex-Pat Aussie in the Houston area. Interesting.


I just left Woodside Energy headquartered in Perth. I'm an American.


You'll definitely get a wave or flash of the headlights from me.


Cheers,


Mike
