  • History:
    Purchased the MINI as a birthday present to myself on Jan 8 2007. When I went looking at MINI's I kept saying I didn't want a dark car as here in TX it gets so warm in the summer. After looking at what seemed to be all the cars on the dealers lot I noticed this one out of the corner of my eye. My MA said she didn't show it since the color was so dark. One quick once over and I decided it was the MINI for me.

    The first of what turned into many sets of wheels was soon ordered and that is where I was going to leave the MINI. Alas, a ride in a modded MINI owned by a MetroplexMINI club member changed that. The fun soon began...
