    I guess since I have been here looking, reading, and getting ideas for about the last month or so….My 3rd "S" MINI since 2012. My 1st was a 2004 Dark Silver "S" "Bandit"….loaded with Nav, sold her for a GMC Denali with 22's….GONE….June 2012.

    2nd "S" was a 2005 Purple Haze, "S"…."BOO" loaded and then traded 8 months later for a Dodge Challenger RTC 6-speed…Hit a deer on the way home from the dealership 46 miles later. Gone….November 2012.

    And last but least….November 2014…..Here I am, and here is my Girl…CHARLIZE, Charlie for short… My 2006 Pepper White "S" with a AERO Kit and a BLUE Top….I think she will stay around awhile, with everyones help here….:)

    The bad thing, or funny thing is the '06 PW "S" and the '05 PH "S" were both bought 2 years apart to the day, and both came from the same area in Colorado….My wife was NOT happy with me….As I live in Kansas.

    Welcome to the people's MINI forum!

    I am on my 3rd one too! Started off with an '05 Justa, then an '05 S, and now have a '15 All-4 Countryman along with the '05 S!

    Its funny how when you buy one MINI, you keep going back, even if you have a few cars in between!

    Let the mod bug's bite! :)

    Nice choice of frame :Thumbsup:
    How close or how far from the Wichita area? We've a couple of clubs in the area that enjoy doing 'stuff', MINI-wise.

    Great looking new ride.

    I'm in Ohio my MINI was from Dallas and the car before, WRX, was from Omaha. Sometimes you just don't find what you want at home.

    Very true. MINI #1 came from just outside of Dallas. MINI #2 was rescued from Connecticut.

    @ Friske, I am about 2 hours from Wichita, I lived there back in the early '90's. My cousins live there and am going there Saturday for my daughters B-Day Party at Chuck E's. I visit Wichita about once a month or so, but if things were planned I would go more. Thanks Jeffrey

    Yes my first MINI, Bandit was from a small, very small dealership in Omaha, and BOO was from JL Investments in Sheridan CO. (Great Color, BAD Investment…$2100 to get her out of MINI of Omaha 10 days later. And Charlie was from Greeley Mazda-Subaru in Greeley CO. Great place, Great People.
