    I picked up my first MINI, a Cooper S, DS/B in June 2002 in Germany. Motored around Europe for a couple years then came back to the US. Sold it in December 2007 and bought an Audi TT. Loved the TT, but after being rear ended it was never the same. I sold it and started looking for another R53 MCS.

    I found a 2006, CR/B in the Dallas area with only 38K miles on it! Picked it up last week, got it down here to San Antonio and am enjoying being back.

    So, during my TT years looks like things got "interesting" on that other site. It did remember me when I used my years old login. I wanted to see if I could still get some underhood eyes for my new MCS and the google search led me here to M/A.

    So, here I am!

    I suppose I'm a generation ahead of you, although you may have more MINI experience. Enjoy your new find!
