First MINI

Hello All,

After briefly owning a dozen or so Mini's I decided to actually spend a little time in my most recent purchase to see where all the hupla about these cars was coming from.

I am a low volume car dealer in south florida and primarilly buy cars requested by cliants. In the past year I have bought & sold a dozen or so mini's but never drove one. Last week I bought a very clean 04 MCS - Liquid Yellow, White Roof & White Wheels. I didn't have anyone to transport the car so I drove it home. It has been in my home garage since.

I understand now why people are so pasionate about these cars. The Mini-S is an absolute blst to drive. Suppose I will not be selling this car for a while

I agree with your assessment. I never drove a Mini, but have loved them since the mid sixties and rode in one. We just picked up our new PW/G MCSc last Friday and I just love it. Even my wife, who does not like to drive fast, remarks how well it handles. I can't think the enthusiasts forums for other brands have this kind of fun. And between answering the NAM posts and actually driving the new MINI, I don't have time to find out!! Happy Motoring, and maybe we could touch base later this year. We have friends on Cudjoe key and I want to drive down there this year, sometime.

Welcome to NAM. I own a 02 LY w/white top and wheels myself. The mini is definately an addictive vehicle. I love mine and hope you keep this one for awhile.
