Wanted a MINI for so long and now I've got it!

Hi, my name's Don, and I'm from Poughkeepsie, NY. I've been a 'cult car' guy for some time now, starting with Mustangs 15 years ago, moving to VW's for a while before going the economical commuter route.

Traded in my Sonic for a CPO '13 Clubman S, super low mileage, fully loaded except nav.

I absolutely love it! I would say the only things I might change are the side markers, remove the hood stripes, and maybe swap out wheels and tires (not liking the runflats and 16's; 17's look great on this car).

Can't wait to get better acquainted with it, the new MINI dealer down the road from me, and the MINI community!
