    Hi all...so, I don't have a Mini myself, but my best friend just bought her first Mini, a 13 Chili Red S Hatchback. So I figured I would learn everything I could about it, in hopes of helping/advising her should she ever want or need it. She is actually extremely smart and picks things up quickly, so I have no doubt she will absorb everything Mini related. She loves her car!

    As for me, I'm Lance, and currently own a 13 FR-S. Definitely my favorite car I've ever driven, but I am also growing a bit of a fondness for her rad little sports hatch. Anyway, thanks for putting on such a great and informative site!

    Welcome to you and your friend. A great way to enjoy the Mini is to find a local club so checkout the club page to see what is near you.

    Hi everyone! I'm the friend Lance mentioned. Thank you all for the warm welcome! I had been wanting a Mini Cooper for years and now that I have one, I absolutely love it!

    As for pictures, this is the only one I have available at the moment...I apologize in advance if it's huge - I'm on my phone at the moment.
