Got in my Cooper this morning, drove a few yards and the mileage clocked onto 10,000 miles. I gave a smile and thought, I love this little car, put my foot down and enjoyed a spirited drive into the office. I've had no problems with my MINI, it's given me 10,000 miles of happy driving, I still get people stopping and looking at it when it's parked, my kids want to go everywhere in it because it's "cool", it can still give me a buzz when I decide to have some fun in it ..................

I know some folks have not had the best experiences in a MINI but I have and I look forward to many more miles of happy times and fun driving

nathy03 · Apr 27th, 2004, 10:36 AM

Know what you mean

Hit 30,000km on Sunday, washed and polished and bumper waxed the car on Thursday.... serviced last monday, changed back to summer wheels too..... looking new, feeling new. Loving it!

Hit 5,000 miles today. Found some new roads by me that were INSANE! Twisties, sweepers, waterfalls, farms, lakes...super scenic and it was right by my house the whole time! Had both windows and the roof open as I tore up the corners with my music blasting.
