This very day I became the proud owner of a 2002 Mini, with a mere 10,000 miles on the odometer.
I'm very excited to have found this car, being a Cooper fan from way back to the "Golden Age" of motorsport (in my book, anyway) of the 50's and 60's when Coopers were such a great part of the Formula One world.
My new baby is black, with a white top and mirrors. No stripes, sadly, but she's beauriful nonetheless. I traded in my 2001 Hyundai Tiburon for my new Mini, a bit sad, since the Tib was a good car, and gave stellar service, but I definately feel as if I've traded up, and into a car which, besides it's mechanical qualities, also has great personality.
At any rate, I'm a bit chuffed, and just wanted to bask in the feeling a bit with those who know.
Hello all *waves*
Glad to be in a Mini
