Hello all, my wife had her sights set on downsizing from the minivan and found a nice little 2009 R56, I believe is what it is. Lightning metallic blue with a white top and sun roof. Seems like a clean car, and handles beautifully. Thought I might hang out here for a while and see what I could learn. She's named her Lilly and I believe it is true love. I'll try to take some pics tomorrow. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Thank you! We're looking forward to getting to know this great machine, and the folks on here. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Welcome. A 2009 coupe would be an R56. I have one in Laser Blue with a white top, and love it. I downsized from an Audi crossover that probably weighed as much as a minivan. Is yours a CooperS or a Cooper? Where does it live? You may have some members and get-togethers in your area. Oh, and people here are addicted to pictures, so post em' if you got em'. CD
Welcome to MA...the best Mini forum, we ever see and the best guys, who r ready to help Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk
caseydog, it's a Cooper, not an S. She lives in Northwest Missouri in the little town of Cameron. The photos I'll post were taken in Springfield Mo. where we picked her up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Thanks for the welcome, folks! The kids were really excited to ride in a car with a sunroof, it has taken the place of the DVD player; I like that aspect myself. We're looking forward to road trips and adventures. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
In car DVD players are good "pacifiers," I guess, but when I was a kid in the 60s, we played road games on long trips, like "I see something." As an adult, I still like to pass the time (and miles) playing those games -- but my dog sucks at them. :biggrin5: CD
