Hi! I just purchased my first Mini this past weekend and am excited! It's a British Racing Green 2009 Cooper S. already my hubby has added hood stripes, the union jack scuddles, after market arm rest, and he has ordered me a British style plate for the front with my screen name on it. I see some Mini owners driving around town but don't know anyone personally who owns one. I'm glad to have found this site. If you see me around Nashville TN or Mt Juliet, TN, give a wave!
