    Just bought my first mini today... I have never been one for cars, have owned jeeps or trucks my whole life. The only car that I ever had an interest in was a mini... The need came... I bought a 2006 base model with 51000 miles. Not sure of color yet (listed as blue) as its been overcast and rainy all day (In the Seattle area)... Tomorrow I'll look up color and OCD detail him... (First vehicle I have ever owned that I've referred to as a him)...

    :cornut: Congratulations on your MINI. Being the owner of an R53, you'll be the darling of the very vocal R53 types lurking here abouts.:lol::lol::Thumbsup:

    ADDENDUM: OOPS! it's an R50 not an R53

    Still lots of FUN to be had in a JUSTA plus it's not ugly like the new MINI's. :p

    The Cooper is quick and is very agile. I hope you get your tire light issues settled soon so you can enjoy your car even more, without worrying.

    BTW, welcome to M/A!
