| Mini2 or not 2 B Hi, Folks! Old guy, new hobby! I'm a wanna be mini owner. I've loved them since I was a kid and they were called Austin Mini's! That's been a day or two ago! Now, with some job changes and reaching a fun time of life, my wife and I are contemplating our first mini purchase. I love the Mini 1 (06) and have driven Cooper and Cooper S. My wife loves the convertible, so we're planning. Came here to see what gives with the Mini2. Although, I understand the convert will not change for a couple more years. So we have some time. Trying to decide color combinations that please us both. Will definitely have premium, sport, and cold weather. Wheels are still in discussion and I definitely don't like what I read about run-flats! Especially the really poor mileage life (25K, that's ridiculous for a $250 tyre!) I hope to be able to bargain for exchange of some good all season for some other goodie. Let me know what you think. I live in east central Indiana. Are there clubs in the area of New Castle? Happy Motoring! david |
