Cool Minis In Georgia

Greetings fellow MINI lovers,
I live in Georgia where at last count we have two MINI dealerships (Hank Aaron & Global Imports). I have yet to see a car on the road, however, I pass Hank Aaron's every day and this weekend I am going to stop by and see if I can't take one out for a spin.

However, on to my real question. A friend of ours is one of two MINI salesmen at Hank Aaron and he informed me (well actually my wife) that I could comfortably fit in a MINI probably with some room to spare. I am 6'6". Is there any other MINI2er that is around this height that could give me some advice in this area. I cannot believe how much these things have grown on me in the last two weeks.

I can safely say that when my wife mentioned them to me I was like "A mini???? You're joking right?" but I went to the miniusa website and I was floored. The more I think about it I am going to stop by tonight when the dealership is closed to take a look at the ones outside.

If you are a MINI owner in GA, let me know. I would like to hear about some of your experiences with your mini.

Happy Cruising!!!!
Kev.

That thread should answer the question...

but just in case you don't believe em... I"m 6'6" too... and I fit with *more* than enough room... in the legs, in the head, in the elbows.... It's extremely roomy. I don't even put the seat all the way back... (1 notch forward).

be warned though, you aren't going to fit a regular sized person in the seat behind you...

but really, how often do you pile 4 people in your car anyhow?

Get her out for a test drive, you'll be sold then and there....

THRILLING NEWS!!!

WHEW!!!
I was beginning to worry that my dreams were going to be smashed before they even started, but you both have given me hope. I will keep you updated as to how the drive went.

Thanks again!!!
Kev.
