    Hi there, I am now the proud owner of a base '06 pepper white MINI!

    I've been a motorcycle lady my entire life but you can only carry so much in a backpack while riding a Ducati--so the new MINI is like a truck to me :Thumbsup:

    It was also the only car I test drove that felt FUN and functional--it isn't like driving a battleship or a yawning hybrid--and it's cute to boot.

    I know nothing about cars having never owned one so I thought it would be a good idea to join a board and learn a thing or two.

    Cheers!
