    Welcome!

    To quote someone wiser than I...

    Once you drive a MINI for the first time, you fall into only one of two categories:

    Someone who owns a MINI
    Someone who wishes they owned a MINI

    Congrats on making the transition from the latter to the former :cornut:

    We're in Oakland, CA. I've lived here for three years. Moved here to be with the boyfriend.

    Maine, where I came from, doesn't have very many MINIs. There's not even a MINI dealer (or there wasn't when I left)! So I only ever saw them occasionally...which was always a thrill. There was one grey one with black stripes I would see going the opposite direction every evening when I drove home from work. We were on the same schedule. It was like seeing a friend every day.

    California has tons of MINIS, and a bunch of dealerships (so I got to shop around and play the "who can give me the best deal" game...which was very fun). BF and I always point out any MINI we see, discuss color, how old it is, if it's justa or an S etc...It's fun but a total tease.

    Hey there and welcome to M/A. Waiting for the MINI is kinda like seeing your birthday presents but not being allowed to open them just yet.....:D

    Welcome! I lived in SoCal for 25 years. Bought my '06 R53 out here near Motown. I love living here but wish I could drive it on all this great roads out there. Enjoy and welcome to the club!

    Motor On!
