Just bought my first Mini, 2011 SO Cooper S, named him Scrapper. So far I have just tinted the windows and plasti-dipped all the chrome, I'll have to see how the door handles hold up.
So far I'm loving the quickness, nimbleness, and mpg's. I had a 2008 Trailblazer SS before the Mini, that thing was killiing me in gas every week.
Anyway I hope to learn a lot about these cars here and I'll carry on the wave when I see another Mini, which there seems to be a lot of up here.

 

I'm curious how your Mini will deal with the snow.
