Bought a new toy today..

Well I was on my way home from work yesterday when I spotted a Mini Cooper at dealership I was driving by. So I decided to pull in and check it out, it ended up being the S model that is Supercharged. Well I took it for a test drive and guess what?? I thought it was pretty cool and quick, and it handled great. So I went back this morning and picked it up for a new toy. It is a 05 with 25k miles on it, one owner from NJ that had it before. Carfax came back perfect.. I had to do it.. lol
Here are a few pics, you will either love it or hate it.. haha
Enjoy,
Bill

A newbie with pics.... I like the new person !!

Good looking MINI, Bill. I have always been fond of DS/Black and the bonnet stripes and wheels really finish off the look.

Welcome to NAM and congrats on your new toy !

what part of Maine are you from? I'm from Newburyport right on the MA/ NH line . Been "here" a while, I like your choice of toys! Check out the "other" forum too: www.MINI2.com there is a very active New York/New England forum over there(http://www.mini2.com/forum/new-york-new-england-region/) and we have a very large club to check out : http://www.mini-mama.org/ You'll get more information than you knew existed on these forums. welcome to the insanity.

Sweet!

Actually, you should have said, "You will either love it or love it!!"

I love it! Good luck!

Thanks for all the welcomes, I know I will learn a lot here.
To answer a couple of the questions;
I paid $24,500.00 for the Mini
I live in Scarborough Maine, 42 miles from the ME/NH border.
And what is under the car cover in the garage is a 91 Toyota MR2 Turbo
Thanks again for the welcome..
Here is a pic of the MR2...

HOTTT MR2^^^ You interested in selling it? VERY NICE COOPER S, that color scheme was going to be my second choice, but instead i opted for red, worse thing I ever could have done, I regret it, oh well though, enjoy your first monthes of motoring, they're soooo awesome.

Nice Cars!

Thanks.... The MR2 isn't for sale though.. I bought it new in 91 and it only has 24k miles on her now. I am planing on saving it for my son and give it to him when he can drive..I don't drive it to much but it is a fun car as well..
