    Hi everyone,

    This is my first-ever Mini. Wanted something to replace a totally different "fun machine", had a Can Am Spyder F3, I liked it but it was my first non-car, and I didn't really feel comfortable on it, always watching others around me like a hawk! I wanted something that would be as fun as the spyder, but safer too. I was looking for a small car since I also have a 2014 Durango RT, so this is going to be the "toy". I picked it up last Saturday, 12/12, and have been loving every minute of it. Curvy roads are just as fun as my Spyder, and it's really quick too!

    I've considered Minis in the past, the original R53, then an R56, then a Countryman, but didn't pull the trigger since they were all a bit too small for me to use as a primary vehicle, but that isn't a concern now, so I did the new F56. I also considered a Fiat Abarth before looking at the MCS, but, although cheaper in price, was also not even in the same league as my Mini! Absolutely better fit and finish and quality in the Mini.

    I've attached a few pictures because without them, there's no proof! :wink:
