Hi! I just picked up my third Mini (I have a car problem). I started out with Mini Cooper S models, a 2004 and then later, a 2006. This time I went for the non-S and am very happy with the performance and the MPG so far. 2012, 6 speed, base Velvet silver metallic Cold weather 16" 6-star, black Sunroof Harmon kardon Bluetooth usb I need to take better pictures, but I rushed out and took a couple this morning. I live on a gravel road, so everything gets dusty instantly, so pardon the dust.
Welcome! My mother's family is from Henderson, NC, just below the Virginia border. You live in a beautiful state.
Thanks all! I live between Sanford and Apex, so near Raleigh. Been here about 25 years, originally from the frozen north (aka upper NY state)
Welcome and congrats on the new ride! We appear to have several things in common - 1. On our third MINI 2. Made the transition from an "S" to the normally aspirated power plant (in my case, from a '11 MCS to a '13 MC Roadster...with zero regrets) 3. Have roots in the frozen north (though mine still freeze each winter :arf Enjoy!
