Hello and Welcome, Karenb

We're generally a friendly bunch. You'll have to post the obligatory picture of your car when you get it.

Also...what possessed you to trade your Elise in for a MINI? I would like to have both...

Hi there.

Had the Lotus nearly 5 years and fancied a change. It is a great car and does look very sexy but I am looking forward to getting the Mini - it's a little bit different and with the John Cooper Works kit - it still has some go in it

Welcome Karenb. Hope you're as happy with MINI as you were with the Elise.

As the others have said there is a thriving social scene here on MINI2 whether it be in the banter section or at pub meets and runs. The MINI experience is a lot more fun if you join in

Welcome! I looked at a Lotus Elise before I bought my MCS but didn't think I could put up with the hassle of getting in and out of the damn thing!
